At least Richard is in your face terrible. Which really is a triumph because there are so many to choose from.
I honestly feel like Nathaniel might be the worst character in the series. I’m so tired of the relationship bullshit. And it is certainly going to come up in a few books. Which is a really big deal, because this means that if they get out of control, he can’t control them. Anita finds out that the leader of the Church of Life, Malcolm, isn’t blood tying his vampires to him.
And it doesn’t get the attention it deserves, either. There is also another minor point that comes up that I loved the first time I read it, and I love it this time. Especially since they show up again in book 17 and none of this potential angst is there. Like, I can’t help but think of all the story we miss between books 12, 13, and 14 of Anita dealing with letting them go. For the first time in the entire series, Anita doesn’t get the bad guy. And remember the spoiler warning at the beginning of the review, here. There was so many more interesting things that we could have seen than what we got.Įspecially because the story played out so well, too. At a guess, maybe 10% of the entirety of this book is dedicated to this serial killer of strippers group of vampires. I actually forgot what the book was about at one point because it was lost in the fog of relationship bullshit. And then I glanced at where I was in the book and it was 34% in and it still wasn’t anywhere to be seen.
There was all of maybe 3 pages in the first 10% dedicated to this. In which I mean there is almost none of that story in this book. It’s only the amount of it in the book that is the problem. Along the way she uncovers a lot of ugly truths that she’ll have to deal with in later books. Anita knows it isn’t any of Jean Claude’s vampires, so it must be someone new to town that she has to track down. Review:įirst, what the story is about: there is a group of rogue vampires, lead by a master vampire, killing strippers around St. You have been warned, we’ll see how long I last. If you have read them before: Enjoy my pain. They will be filled with rants and maybe even a little gushing. This will be full of spoilers, both for present and future books. And some nights you just don’t want to fight yourself anymore, so you pick someone else to fight.” Warning:
“Sometimes you fight what you are, and sometimes you give in to it. (That’s super vague and unhelpful, isn’t it?) Quote: Vampire hunter Anita Blake finds her life is more complicated than ever, caught as she is between her obligations to the living-and the undead.
