Editorial Review:
Product Description:
These days, Anita Blake is less interested in vampire politics than in an ancient, ordinary dread she shares with women down the ages: she may be pregnant. And, if she is, whether the father is a vampire, werewolf, or something else entirely, it's clear that being a Federal Marshal known for raising the dead and being a vampire executioner is no way to bring up a baby.

Another series killer, though at least (unlike Goodkind) the first several books of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series were fun little supernatural mysteries.
Literally no plot, though there were a couple of strands of something that might have become a plot if the author had bothered to develop them.
Mostly very boring and badly written sex scenes, very boring and badly written scenes of vampire politics (all revolving around whose servants could enter into sexual service to Anita Blake next), and endless emo yammering about sex. Yuck. This is what happens when writers go bad.

I have to admit, I'm getting a little tired of some parts of these books. But then, I've now read, what, fourteen of them? I have to think there would be elements of any series that would get tiresome after that many books. I know I got sick of the Aes Sedai in the Wheel of Time, and of Rand trying to make himself hard as stone, and of the regular theme of the battle of the sexes, and several other themes that Robert Jordan kept coming back to -- and those books are my all-time favorites.
In these books, it isn't that I'm tired of the sex scenes. I enjoy the visceral, no-holds-barred writing in these books, in both the violent scenes and the sexual scenes; I don't get many chances to read this sort of writing, and if I did move more into reading erotica, I'd end up with far more graphic sex and far less plot elements unrelated to the sex, so this is a good compromise for me. No, what I'm getting a little tired of is the necessity of sex, and all the discussion of the meaning of the sex or the lack of meaning of the sex. I don't mind that Anita needs to feed the ardeur, but I do mind that she needs to feed herself, and then Jean-Claude, and then Nathaniel and Damian, and then herself again, and then she needs to have sex with Asher because he feels left out, and so on and so forth. It's basically me having trouble with the same thing that Anita is having trouble with: there are just too many freaking men in her life. As a brief side note on that, Anita's greatest ... Read More

This series started out great. Now it's just the tiniest of plots to hold together a ton of porn. No thanks. This was my last Anita Blake.

I keep reading . . . and reading . . . but I now officially give up. The past, what, 5-6 books have been almost indistuishable. It's like a three-page story filled with hundreds of pages of the exact same sex-internal magical crisis-sex-internal magical crises related to sex - on and on and on and on. I like the first three, especially, because they were interesting stories. I just can no longer read another page of what is essentially the same plot repeated over and over with so little variation. It's sad when even the hot sex scenes do little because we have read it all before.

Its been a long time since I read a book that made me repeat, oh brother, in disgust and disbelief. How sad to see this series so far down in the dumps. Its been going downhill for awhile, Micah was a waste of paper, and this is just barely better. I stopped reading LK for awhile, then came across Micah for .25 cents, sad to say that was a total waste of a quarter. I cannot recommend you buy this book, if you must read it then borrow it from a library, that way you'll only have wasted your time and not your money. Sad sad sad, I loved the first books. oh well!
