Summary: Did you ever have to finally decide?
Comment: Wow. One of the things I really like about this series is whenever I finish one of the books, I'm on this incredible emotional rush. Yes, they're pretty light reads, yes, they are your standard "tough-girl" fiction...but they're so much more. Anita Blake is the sort of person I'd like to be and yet would really hate being. Constantly in situations that require absolutely clear judgement, hers is oft clouded by her two boyfriends, both monsters. Richard, mild-mannered werewolf-cum-teacher, whom she loves desperately for his heat and "aliveness" or Jean-Claude, exquisitely beautiful Master Vampire, who has pursued Anita for the entire series, usually with something up his sleeve, but she finds herself lusting after him any way. Trying to keep myself from offering up too much of the story, perhaps Anita finds a way to love both of them and keep them in her life. Or not. This is a great series, and a wonderful book in it. Go out and buy this. It starts with Guilty Pleasures. Go. Buy it. Read it. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Clear the calendar--you'll read this one in one sitting!
Comment: I'm quickly making my way through the Anita Blake series. Any of these novels is a winner on its own, but you'll miss so much if you don't start at the beginning (GUILTY PLEASURES).

DANCE, in my humble opinion, is the best book thus far in the series. The main characters (Anita, Jean-Claude, Richard, Edward) are much more developed, the relationships between them all are so well written that you start to feel like you know them. In DANCE, Anita faces the realization that a mysterious "money man" has put out a huge contract for her death. With the help of her friends (and I use that term for lack of a better word for these complex characters), she battles her way through shapeshifters, shooters, makers of shapeshifter-porno movies, vamps, psychopaths and cops. And then things get strange.... Forever undaunted, Anita arms herself to the teeth to protect her life as well as the "lives" of the men/undead/werewolf that she loves.

DANCE also brings Anita to some decisions regarding her feelings for Jean-Claude, the seductive Master Vampire of the City, and Richard, the potential alpha male of the local werewolf pack. Who will she choose? Will she tell them both to take a hike? How will she reconcile her own ambiguous feelings about what it means to be a monster and what it means to be in love?

All in all, this entire series is a great ride. Anita narrates each story. She's petite, she's pretty, she's tough. She doesn't need to be rescued because she's typically the one doing the rescuing! She's a necromancer with incredible powers, and these powers are more developed in DANCE through her relationship with Jean-Claude and Richard. Laurell Hamilton introduces new characters and brings in some old ones from prior novels. It's rather difficult to pin this series into one genre. It's part romance, part mystery, part detective, part horror, part gore, part vampire and all of the above. There's something here to please almost everyone. These books are fun, they're scary, and I guarantee you'll keep reading them to find out what happens next!

Summary: Still going strong..
Comment: "The Killing Dance" felt a little slower when it came to action, but it made up for it with some thrilling new developments in Anita's personal life...developments that I have been impatiently waiting and waiting for..I was not disappointed!! Another definite must read from Laurell Hamilton...God I love Jean-Claude..... :o)
