Just couldn't get into it. It seemed that the action started without any story build up. And I didn't care for the main character, it was like she was trying too hard to be tuff. I wanted to like it, but didn't

Another guilty pleasure. Very little redeeming value, unless you like vampires, and vampire hunters.

I used to loooooove these books. Made it all the way through book 20 before it was all too bonkers for me. But a reread of the first reminded me why I got hooked to start.

Good book, a different kind of vampire hunter, who is strong and capable, and very loyal to her friends. There were quite a few things that were repeated a lot throughout the book, though, and that kind of annoys me a little, I can totally remember what happens between the first and the fifth chapter. Sometimes, I even get a little annoyed if things are repeated too much in different books, even if I can understand that better, since it's for readers who haven't read the whole series. I don't see the point of in-book repetitions.
Apart from that, the book was very exciting, Anita is a great heroine, and I will definitely read more!

I've wanted to read the Anita Blake series by @official_Ikhamilton for years and I finally found more then half of the series at a thrift store.
This is book 1 from 32 books. It's soooo good.
A good mix of horror, comedies and intrigue. I love the character of Anita a kick ass Vampire slayer.
Anita has to battle on multiple scale Vampires that want her dead for what she does.
It will be a series that will take me time to read.
