Guilty Pleasures... a Vampire Strip Club!!!

by dramastef dramastef is a Lead on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 30 '04
Pros: Vampire lore, spun in a new way.
Cons: It's still fluff, albeit good fluff.
Even the title sounds like a soft-porn Harlequin Romance novel (are they actually called novels?). It is marketed as a horror romance. So, despite the fact that a very good friend with similar literary taste, a friend who shares my love for all ...

Vampires, Were-rats, Zombies, Ghouls-- They Have Rights Too!

by lyoness913 lyoness913 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 15 '07
Pros: Fantastic origninality. Absolutely entertaining.
Cons: Story line is not very strong.
I originally got the idea of reading Laurell K. Hamilton from a review that dramastef posted. I have to say, I haven't been effected by a book like I was with this one in a very long time. Although Hamilton can be disjointed and ...

Move Over, Buffy

by Bruguru Bruguru is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 09 '03
Pros: Lots of supernatural fun.
Cons: None come to mind.
Move over, Buffy. There’s a new vampire slayer on the block, and she’s here to stay. Not that Buffy will likely complain, mind you. Surely, there must be enough vampires to go around for everyone. So without further ado, please allow me to...

Guilty Pleasures, by Laurell K. Hamilton

by cdm72 cdm72 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 03 '06
Pros: Cheap fun. Doesn't take itself too seriously.
Cons: I really can't think of any.
What the hell was I doing standing in the middle of a cave, in the dark, surrounded by wererats, quoting Dr. Seuss, and trying to kill a one-thousand-year-old vampire? It had been one of my stranger weeks. I love that line, for me it sums up ...

Lusty vampires, heroic necromancers. This is a damned good book.

by optionexplicit , Jan 15 '04
Pros: Fascinating character studies and a unique perspective on a derivative genre.
Cons: Sometimes, there's just nothing wrong with a book. No cons.
Plot details: This review reveals no major plot points. Nearly all modern vampire stories fall into one of three mythological taxonomies. Anne Rice and her vampiric ubermenschen clearly leads the pack, inspiring a hundred would-be clones who ...

I'm a Guilty Reader and I'm Going for More

by staceums , Mar 02 '08
Pros: Vampires, the supernatural, and a "whodunit" plot
Cons: The story feels thrown together and a little perverse
I wanted to get into something different in terms of reading novels; I had gone from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, but I eventually got tired of all that and decided to go for ...

It Will Suck You In

by Alena Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 17 '02
Pros: Great story, interesting characters, good style
Cons: none
This is the first novel in Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series which in my opinion is the very best vampire series currently out there. Hamilton's books are vivid (not for the weak at heart), action packed and often filled with intrigue and the ...

I feel guilty for enjoying this book so much

by angel011 , May 15 '06
Pros: Funny, entertaining, interesting characters, fast-paced
Cons: Fluff
I don’t get hooked easily, but I have to admit I’ve been hooked to Anita Blake, the Vampire Hunter series since the book one, Guilty Pleasures. I feel a bit guilty about it, because these books are fluff – but hey, they ...

Pros: fascinating world, intriguing characters,interesting crimes
Cons: none that I can think of
Anita Blake raises zombies from their graves for Animators Inc, and is also the legal vampire executioner for the fine state of Missouri. In fact, her kill record has caused the vampire community to refer to her as The Executioner with all the implied ...

by serc, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 06 '00
Pros: clever idea for a story and a fun "fluff" read

For week after week, the women in my bookclub were raving about a series of books about a person called "Anita Blake." The conversation kept coming around to these books. Finally, one of the women in the group brought one to me to read...

Pros: Fast-paced, interesting characters, leaves you wanting more

A few plot secrets ahead: Read at your own risk!

Pros: Lots of action. Complex characters (believe it or not).
Cons: Not available in hardback

Well monster movie fans, have I got the series for you. Imagine a world where vampires, ghouls, zombies and werewolves are literally part of everyday life. Well, Anita Blake lives in such a world. Sounds like pure fun, doesn't it? Well it is, but...
