Guilty
Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton
Series: Anita Blake #1
Genre: Adult, Vampires, Urban Fantasy
Goodreads Summary:
Anita
Blake may be small and young, but vampires call her the Executioner. Anita is a
necromancer and vampire hunter in a time when vampires are protected by law –
as long as they don’t get too nasty. Now someone’s killing innocent vampires
and Anita agrees – with a bit of vampire arm-twisting – to help figure out who
and why.
Trust
is a luxury Anita can’t afford when her allies aren’t human. The city’s most
powerful vampire, Nikolaos, is 1,000 years old and looks like a 10-year old
girl. The second most powerful vampire, Jean-Claude, is interested in more than
just Anita’s professional talents, but the feisty necromancer isn’t playing
along – yet. This popular series has a wild energy and humor, and some very
appealing characters – both dead and alive.

My Thoughts:
My
initial thought after reading ‘Holy Crap! How have I not read this until just
now?!’
I
read Guilty Pleasures this weekend after it was practically shoved into my hands by a
friend. Well really she wanted to try to persuade me into coming to a book club
this week...It worked…I will be going for sure! I ended up loving this book and
almost succeeded in reading it all the same day she gave it to me. There's so
much action and mystery and I just could not put it down. Only a few hours
after finishing it I had the next three in the series in my hand. Now I just
need to finish the two other books I started and then snubbed to read this one
:-P
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Glad you loved it, Jen! I bet it's gonna make for a fun discussion at book club this week. :D
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right. Especially if it's the same mix of men and women attending as last year
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you I seriously enjoyed this series back in the day when it first came out. The mystery the awesome UF kickass heroine. But then around book 6 I think there is a shift and it becomes not UF or even PNR but instead PNR erotica,- I'm not joking when I say erotica cause I've read some from that genre too. So prepare yourself now for that shift. Glad you loved it - I wish the author would have stuck with the original direction of the series.
ReplyDeleteLol yeah I've been told that by many people. That it's like a whole other series. I haven't decided yet if I'll continue the series or stop half way. We'll see.
