When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her.

And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…
But even vampires have monsters that they’re afraid of. And Anita is one of them…

Another Let Down
1By Nettie***I loved this series in the beginning. Sadly it has turned into repeat after repeat of the same thing. I am taking a break from Anita and I am not sure I will be coming back.Save your money, check this out from the library.
1By GalaxystarrxIn the beginning of the book Hamilton thanks her new editor but the book doesn't even seem to be edited. It was obviously proofread for major errors and punctuation but if the editor actually did her job she would have caught all the “ly” words, the over use of the word “that,” and the information which is not needed and drags the story down. Hamilton used to be such an amazing author, with unique story lines, but now it seems like she is copy and pasting sentences from her old books into the new ones then throwing in a bunch of added description around those sentences which is irrelevant to the flow of the story. Fire your new editor Hamilton and get one who isn’t afraid to tell you what NEEDS to be changed, then LISTEN to that editor. Filling your books full of whatever comes out of your head does NOT make for a good read. Think of your fans, because if they are like me they will get tired of reading the same stuff over and again fluffed up with useless info and will no longer be fans. I’m just happy this book was loaned to me and I didn’t have to purchase it.Nothing happens
1By Avalynn27It just goes on and on and on and on... It's so boring and hard to follow.Worse book I've read in a very long time
1By VNC9Save your money, don't buy. I absolutely LOVED all her books but this one was a huge disappointment. There is no story, just description of the same characters we all know from previous books, she even describes the same characters twice in the book. It should be in the romance section, tons of sex descriptions but no story line at all.loved it
5By Celeste "CC" ClingenI love anita Blake and Merry Gentry and eagerly await every new book. this book raised more questions but that is what a good author does to keep her fans engaged. loved the book and can't wait for the new ones and the out take Beauty WHEW blew my socks off :D wish shed left it in the book. Spoiler alert: Its about time they disciplined asher..... the next book is gonna be Amazing she constantly taking this series in new directions which continuilly leaves me wondering whats next??? a baby for her and nathanial would be awsome i think. loved the book.Still steamy series
5By Belle369I love how this series just gets better when other series putter out :)Great story but a little odd
4By toseeshellThis book has a great story. The thing I found odd about it is that things are said multiple times in different chapters of the book. Anita will describe the look of desire on the men's faces and comment that she doesn't know if women have the same look in one chapter then about 2-4 chapters later she says the exact same thing.Kiss The Dead
5By Mystikal MagikaLoved itVery disappointed
1By Mbkhan2012Started off good but took a huge plunge to nowhere. Really a three chapter sex scene? How about getting character names wrong from one book to the next. Last I knew Stephen's girlfriend was not Vanessa. Way too much background story on old time characters which is actually hashed out several times. If I can't remember from chapter 1 to chapter 30 that my problem. I don't even think anyone actually proof reads these books.Story or Summary?
1By justAgirlReaderI love this series, but I can’t decide if this book is an advertisement for law enforcement or a complete summation of previous books. If I’m being honest, it’s both. If you just must read all of the books in the series, proceed. If you’re looking for a new and exciting installment in the series, I recommend skipping this book—considering the cost.Missing something?
3By GoodwyfeStill a great story teller, just not nearly as good as some of her other books. Usually have some laugh out loud moments, not nearly as many in this book. Maybe too much pressure from her publishers, or a bad moment in personal history.....will continue to purchase her books, just sad this book is not as good as previous reads.Love this books!!
4By odenrn02I love the Anita Blake books, but I do wish she would stop repeating herself over and over again!! Ok we know why there eyes stay the way they do!!!! A good book, but a little to descriptive to me!!!! And where us Richard??? I want that yummy Wolfe back around!!!!So disappointed!!
1By msrnThere was so much repetitive info. I completely agree that it seems she's outta ideas or has writers block. Something is off and I won't spend so much money on an ebook that is this bad. Hoping the Merry Gentry book is better.Kiss to dead, more like kiss me good-bye from this series
1By Sailor galLoved the series, but she has been phoning it in the last couple of books. Sick of the poor plot, slung together scenes and nice clean wrap up during the last chapter. It is like reading a 30 min sitcom. Last book I am spending money on for this series.Hamilton is out of ideas
1By So beginsIt seems like our author has run into writers block, so she continues to write the predictable, blasé story lines that have now begun to offend my intelligence and try my patience. I am wondering why I continue to purchase and read Hamilton's books when she seems incapable of an original thought again. I believe that's called writers block. Well, no more! I'm done with Hamilton's Anita Blake series. I will miss the characters and their personalities but if I am truly honest, the characters I love have been gone for a long, long time. Hamilton is just going through the motions now. Her edge is gone and the books are BORING AND PREDICTABLE.Looking for more
3By Satin10117I started reading her series for the wonderful adventure and imagery of supernatural culture and crazy relationships, but they have turne into erotica with a little story thrown in... May just pull out the old books enjoy those again.Disappointing
1By LayneTThis book was a disappointing read due to the repetitive story-line referencing previous books. I feel that the author was writing this book for new readers that didn't begin with the first Anita book. I found there wasn't much by the way of new information making this book rather boring. Not sure if this work is the last of the series but it is mine.Better editing?
5By Xxxxxxx......I gave it 5 stars for the the story line. I love the series, but I thought this book could have used better editing. There were quite a few place were almost entire thoughts were repeated. And one spot early on where "Anita" is thinking she is hearing new information and yet a few pages later, her "thoughts" lead you to believe that she already knew about it. It was slightly confusing :(Not good
1By AngelafungameI have read this series since the beginning an couldn't wait for the next book, but I am not pleased with this one. There are too many details that are repeated over and over. I find myself skipping over pages to get past all the descriptions. I want to stop reading but have gone too far to stop now.
