Title: You Can't Read Just One
Review: As I compulsively read one more Anita Blake story, I tried to analyze what makes them so fascinating? Is it having a heroine who's not afraid to talk back (even when it's to a master vampire)? Is it her ability to think and act quickly to survive the most frightening circumstances? Imagine yourself floundering though a totally dark cave with an ancient lamia (snake/woman combo) and three vampires after you.The gore in the second book repelled me, but this time the descriptions of mayhem seemed more focused on the action and didn't wallow quite as much in blood (or maybe I'm just getting used to it).Whatever... Laurell Hamilton sure has fashioned a world that grabs the reader. Each book adds another layer of monsters and their powers to keep the reader (and heroine) jumping.
Is the review positive or negative?
