Guilty Pleasures: Vampire Hunter #1

by Hamilton, Laurell K.

Description

There's less raunch in the first parts of this series than you'll find in similar ones in the genre, but that's not a reason to avoid them. The common consensus aboutAnita Blake is that the first books are incredible, but the later ones are all kinds of awful. Some advice: Once you get to a book that starts to irritate you more than intrigue you… let go of the series because it's guaranteed to get worse from there.If you ignore the bad books in the series, you'll enjoy reading about Anita Blake. She's tough, but flawed and powerful but vulnerable. Unfortunately, her character never grows beyond an all-beautiful, all-powerful creature. The first 10 books are full of mystery and action and interesting plots.This is a classic case of too much of a good thing and by the end of this series Anita Blake does so much whining that she could put Bella Swan to shame. If you're a fan of the genre and have read everything else, then give the first few books a go. If anything, they'll give you the chance to bury your head in the sand for a few hours.
