About the Book:In the modern day world, vampires and other paranormal creatures are known. However, in America, vampires are also legal citizens so if you kill a vampire, you may find yourself up on murder charges. Enter Anita Blake. She is an animator (someone who raises the dead), paranormal consultant for the police, and legal executioner for the vampires who get out of line. Recently, there has been a series of vampire murders happening, and Nikolaos, vampire Master of the City, wants Anita to look into these crimes, whether Anita wants to or not…Rating: 9/10I originally started reading the Anita Blake series back in 2000. I have lost track of how many times I have read the series. Personally, I despise where the series has gone and find myself grinding my teeth at the author’s personal attitude, but even with a strong disliking of the author and the progression of Anita Blake, I still find myself loving Guilty Pleasures (and most of the early books).Now, I could rant and rave about where the Anita Blake series has gone, but that’s not what this review is about. I will be focusing on Guilty Pleasures, not the Anita Blake series.
Man that cover… I think when I first read the book they re-did it. I never thought what it looked like before…
A bit more fixing up and it still can work with today’s books. Also this review is wonderful.
First time I read this was with the sexy covers, the one with the stomach. I simply managed to get hold of a first edition (have one of Lunatic Cafe as well). It’s nice to see others liking the retro covers as well. It seems a lot of people are split down the middle with the retro covers. Also, I am really glad you like my book reviews. It brings a smile to my face to see that people are liking them. By the way, almost done with The Laughing Corpse so expect a review in a week (maybe two).
Woot! 😀
