Guilty Pleasures Suave and Petite Vampire Slayer This first in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series sets the stage, mood, and tempo of the rest of the novels. If you're tired of the slow paced, action free, whimpy vampires and werewolves that plague much of the novels in this genre, then Anita Blake is a dream come true for you. This book, as well as the other to follow offer a fast paced, high action, street smart punch that rarely lets up. Anita Blake, a petite young woman is an animator; one who has the ability to raise the dead as zombies. Yes, this is her chosen profession, and not only is she one of the few in the country who has this ability, but she can more zombies per night than most, if not all of her peers. If that weren't enough, she is also a legal Vampire Slayer, meaning if she has the right papers from the courts, she can go out, hunt them down and kill them. Anita is tough, very violent when she needs to be, street smart, resourceful, and can keep up with the insults of those around her that question her abilities and authority. She packs guns and knives and has access to just about any other assault weapon available. The book is full of great one liners, vicious Vampires, graphic violence and brutality, and sexual tensions. For Vampire lovers, this is a book you have to read. 7/3/03 |
