Advantages: sex and death and did i mention sex? Disadvantages: if easily offended etc
...violence. The plot for Cerulean Sins has two strands, a police investigation into a series of were-wolf killings, and the arrival of a party of vampires who represent Jean Claude's mistress Belle. The police investigation is fairly run-of-the-mill, and not well inter-faced with the main plot of Jean Claude's unwelcome guests.
The unwelcome guests however are v. unwelcome. Laurell Hamilton hasn't, it must be admitted, done anythign very original, ... ...find out what happens. Cerulean Sins resolves some of the bugging character conflicts, and opens others. It also sets the stage for what happens next. It's an enjoyable read, but not high literature, read it because you enjoyed the others, or because you want something mindless and fun. As horror goes its well written fast-paced and sexy. So have fun with it. ...

Advantages: Fun fluff to read Disadvantages: Imagination has been Lost
I have read all the books in the Anita Blake Series. I loved these books!!! All the time she kept coming up with new, fun and imaginative stuff to read.. When the new books were due to come out, I'd be the first to pre-order the books. But, these last two or three books have severely disapointed me. It seems like Mrs. Hamilton has proceeded to make these books, much along the same lines as soft porn -- you know, use a story as a pretext for the sex. ... ...used before, were fun to read, imaginative and added to the stories. But now, it just seems pointless. I do however still recommend the first 6 or 7 books. If you are a new reader, I would suggest reading from the beginning as there are a lot of references made that would be missed otherwise. ...
