Ok, so I’m sorry that it’s been a while since I last wrote a review, but as of late I’ve been doing a lot of superficial writing over reading (aka I’ve been writing crap that I’m not ever going to use for anything other than fun) but, today I’m on holiday (and this will be up later as I have no internet) and I finished a book (finally). Sorry for the brackets, I don’t know why there are so many.
So, I read book three of the Anita Blake series, if you don’t want any spoilers I’d stop reading this now because I promise you it’ll have spoilers.
Yet again, Laurell K. Hamilton pulled out a pretty amazing book. It had enough kick butt action, the same love twist (and yes, I love Anita’s distaste for the one she’s obviously going to get with later on in the series) and with a lot more awesome twists that you can’t wait to be revealed.
This time Anita is faced with a foe that she doesn’t fully understand, ok she understands it but you know what I mean if you’ve read the book. So we find out another master vampire is in town and Anita has to find him and stop him before the blood baths continue. Fun.
Characters? Alright, Anita first. Anita is as pissy as usual, but now I think we’re seeing more of a bad ass side to her. In the last two, we see her doing her job, in this one she does things for revenge and for her own skin. Yay Anita!
What else can I say about her? If you want an introduction to her, you’ll have to read the first book, I’m sorry but that’s the only way that I can tell you to get to know her, she’s too complex really to explain, especially in the middle of a series (sorry, not the middle, that’s book ten or something).
We then have Jean Claude. He’s slimy to me. Really, it’s like ugh, he won’t give up and then he lets things get waaaaaay too out of hand before he stops it. I just don’t like him as a character. No, I lie, I like him, I just don’t like the way he uses people the way he does. Granted he’s the master of the city meaning he has power but still I have stuff against him.
Then Richard’s introduced, yay for him, I mean yes he’s a werewolf, but you kinda knew it was coming, and that was good. He was sweet too, and it was like ‘awww give me a hug;. Well kinda. But he’s a lot more down to earth and doesn’t force anything onto Anita, unlike a previously spoken about vampire.
Alejandro (not the Lady Gaga song) was pretty cool too. It wasn’t like he was like the other crazy master vampires, but he gave Anita back her freedom and stuff. I liked him, a lot. Well, more than most of the other vampires in the series.
And then there was Edward. No not the sparkly vampire (I know people don’t like him but I do but let’s not go onto twilight). Edward in this series is actually a vampire hunter. I know it’s weird isn’t it? But Edward is cute and stuff and even though I like Richard I kinda want Anita and him to have something more going on because he obviously likes her since he didn’t torture her like he said he would.
Overall? I liked it, I think that it’s a good series and I have the next one ready for me to read as soon as I want to. So yeah I think I’ll enjoy this, I hope you guys liked it, and you’ll probably see more than one uploaded quickly since you know I have no internet and a lot of spare time and about ten books with me.
