 ***This review will contain spoilers*** This episode is beyond chaotic, Bill's been kidnapped, Jessica killed a trucker, Jason is going off the deep end from killing Eggs and Tara is about to snap.  This episode confirmed that werewolves exist in this universe! I'm happy that this world is expanding slowly but surely. I like when there's a natural progression of a world expanding and not when everything is out in the open right away, it becomes overwhelming as a viewer and with this show it's not too much so soon. Bill gets kidnapped by drug addict werewolves hooked on V gets away from them and the episode ends with the gang in wolf form. I'm over Bill as a character so if they kill him then awesome.  One thing that I noticed that I found so shitty is that Sookie instead of making sure Jessica is ok only goes to see her to see if Bill reached out to her. Sookie acts like Jessica is not even a person but an accessory to use at her convenience. Here is Jessica a newb...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Anita Blake is about to face the challenge of her life. Into her world-a world already overflowing with power-have come creatures so feared that powerful, centuries-old vampires refuse to mention their names. It is forbidden to speak of The Harlequin unless you've been contacted. And to be contacted by The Harlequin is to be under sentence of death. This book has definitely been better than the last few books that I've read from this series but yet still doesn't top the first six books. I saw a glimpse of the old Hamilton writing style that we have been familiar with through the first six books. There was actually a plot and an actual villain!!! Now you wouldn't think this would be asking for much BUT lately with the last few books Hamilton seems to have lost her creativity with a bunch of senseless sex scenes.  Anita used to be this badass, no nonsense vampire hunter and now she has been reduced to this sexual conduit f...

 (This review will contain spoilers) Summary: Just returned to St. Louis after six months away, Anita is still no closer to choosing between her lovers—Jean-Claude, a vampire, and Richard, a werewolf. But she has to rely on both for help after two of the wereleopards that she has been watching are abducted at a seedy club called Narcissus in Chains. Anita and her boyfriends rescue the wereleopards from the sinister people holding them, but Anita is wounded in the fight and put at risk of becoming a wereleopard herself. Richard angrily captures the wereleopard he believes is responsible and threatens to execute him. Anita must now rescue that wereleopard from Richard and the werewolves he leads, even as she mourns the apparent end of her relationship with him. Then she realizes that those who kidnapped the first two wereleopards are targeting other lycanthropes. Maybe she will be next. This book took a whole different turn than I expected and have been used to. There have been small...

(This review will contain spoilers) Summary: When she chose master vampire Jean-Claude over her ex-fiancé, alpha werewolf Richard Zeeman, Anita learned that sometimes love is not enough. But though she and Richard won’t be walking down any aisles, she can’t turn her back on him when he’s arrested on a rape charge in Tennessee. Anita knows firsthand that Richard has the morals of a saint—or at least a boy scout. But his guilt or innocence is not the issue. He’s behind bars, and in five days a full moon will rise… Anita yet again is the knight in shinning armor. Whenever someone is in danger and in need of help she drops everything to go and help them out. This time Richard got himself in quite a pickle to the point where Anita has to work as quickly as possible to get Richard out of jail or else he will out himself as a werewolf. I used to be a fan of Richard way back in the beginning when he was first introduced to us but now with everything that he has done and everything we've le...

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: "You can't trust anyone who sleeps with the monsters." That's what I've always said. That's what I've always believed. But now I'm the one sharing a bed with the Master Vampire of the City. Me, Anita Blake. The woman the vampires call the Executioner. From part of the solution, I've become part of the problem. So it hits close to home when an arsonist begins to target vampire-owned businesses all over town -- an arsonist who seems to want to destroy more than just property. It's the monsters who are in danger now. And it's up the the Executioner to save them from the inferno... This has been a nice change of pace. From the start, Anita has come up against very old and very powerful vampires with different kinds of abilities. Throughout this book, we have an insight on just how much the triumvirate with Richard and Jean-Claude has affected Anita. The council comes strolling into town who are ...

 *This review will contain spoilers* Summary: Dating both a vampire and a werewolf isn't easy. But just to complicate Anita's already messy life, someone has put a price on her head. Love cannot save her this time, so she turns to Edward, hitman extraordinaire, for help. But finding the person behind the threat won't be easy, because as both a vampire hunter and zombie reanimator, Anita has made a lot of enemies-both human and otherwise. This has got to be one of the most intense books out of the whole series thus far. If you thought the previous books were dark, twisted and gory those pale in comparison to this one. It's like Hamilton turned it up a notch both in violence and romantic relationships. And we've got quite a few bad guys gunning after Anita.  We are first introduced to Sabin; visiting master vampire and Dominic; human servant and necromancer who are seeking out Anita for her help. Sabin changed his diet for the love of his life and unfortunately he sta...

 (This review will contain spoilers)  Summary: Anita has fallen for the leader of a local pack of werewolves. She's survived a lot, but this love thing may kill her yet. You guys know how much I have been loving this series so far and I have been hoping we keep going on this trajectory but alas we have hit a major speedbump. Not in the mystery/ crime fighting part of it but the whole romance aspect just shifted in this book to another level that I absolutely hate and do not understand. This book was action packed and yet again we're being exposed to a different aspect of Anita's world. All of that was top notch as per usual but Hamilton really fucked up with the development of Anita's and Richard's relationship and threw in the mix, Jean-Claude. There is so much to unpack.  I had such high hopes for this series and then Hamilton threw in out of nowhere romance and now I'm barely holding on. When we finished the previous book Anita was newly dating Richard, a wer...

 (This review will contain spoilers) Summary: In Circus of the Damned a rogue master vampire hits town, and Anita gets caught in the middle of an undead turf war. Jean-Claude, the Master Vamp of the city, wants her for his own-but his enemies have other plans. And to make matters worse, Anita takes a hit to the heart when she meets a stunningly handsome junior high science teacher named Richard Zeeman. They're two humans caught in the crossfire-or so Anita thinks. This has been the best book so far in this series! We've got new bad guys, new supernatural creatures and a whole lot of violence. Just up my alley. I love that this world keeps expanding and we are still being introduced to new supernatural creatures. We got to meet werewolves, a giant cobra and a Lamia. Still not clear on where this giant cobra came from other than it has something to do with magic. I am not a fan of snakes and reading about them definitely put me on edge. Yet again Hamilton has this knack for being...
