I recently finished the latest addition to the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series and have mixed feelings about the book.
I was so excited for the latest installment of the series that I may have had my hopes up a little to high. While it was a good (fast) read I found myself at the last page going "THAT'S IT?!".
One of the problems of doing a long lasting series and having great characters is that as a reader you WANT to know what's going on with every single character or at least for the story to involve the main characters more. This book centered fully around Anita and had very little to do with the characters I have come to love/hate (Richard my little drama king ugh.. where were you?).
If you are looking for a little dose of Anita, then pick up this book. If you are hoping for a lengthy in depth book about all the recent activites (the lions, the 3sum haha, her growing powers) you and I will have to wait for Bullet to be released.

Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Series by Laurell K. Hamilton
This series has a total of 18 books.. including the latest edition "Flirt" which I have not had a chance yet to read.
I first attempted this series shortly after reading the Twilight series and found it REALLY hard to get into. I mean.. I went from a love story to a kick ass Vampire hunter.. WHAT?! I sadly couldn't get past the first few pages before I lost interest.
Now fast forward six months, after I reread Twilight (yes I know, it's sad really). After I read the Sookie Stackhouse series.. I picked up the first book and tried again. I have no idea why it was so hard to read the first time around but the second time around I was hooked! Another series of book crack!
I don't know if it was because it was a longer series than the prior books I've read but I really connected which each of the characters. I was angry at some, hopeful for others, sad.. so many emotions.
The author is fantastic. Able to write and make you feel a part of the story. This was a series that I could not put down.
I am extremely anxious to read Flirt and hope that there are many more books to come!
If you haven't read this series you should! Be prepared for Vampire killing, Zombie raising, Love crazy, Shape shifting mysteries and fun.
