Description Concering Books Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Collection 1-4 (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #1-4)
I sincerely dislike this series. I don't particularly like Anita, the amount of time she spends obsessing over guns and weapons tires me, she seems like a person I would not like if I met her. I don't like being in her head, I don't like the way she frequently treats people, I don't like the way she speaks to them, none of it. There is nothing appealing to me about Anita.The were and vampire subculture is full of exploitation and torment and pain and I don't enjoy that. Much of the pain is sexual, and I REALLY don't enjoy that. Doesn't help that I don't find a single damn thing about Jean-Claude attractive. When he's described, all I get is uncomfortable. He sways his hips when he walks so Anita will look at his ass, he unbuttons his shirts down to his navel so his nipples peek out, and his face is constantly being framed by his hair - these are just not elements that I find attractive, so every time they're lustfully described I have another moment of total disassociation. And "ma petite"? Maybe that's regional, but he uses it all the time and the italics are getting to me. He strikes me as a cheap Anne Rice knockoff, dressed up like he's about to do theme porn.
So between a protagonist who seems to actually repulse me, a love/sex interest who is about as alluring to me as Fabio, and scenes that make me want to peel off my own skin, this is not my series. It's like the dark side of the Sookie Stackhouse coin - those I'll read often, but Anita Blake I tried for the first 10 and then finally had to throw up my hands and accept it was only getting worse and I should stop being so stubborn.
When I arrange my Darkover bonfire, this series is also going right into the flames.

"Guilty Pleasures"As often as I have read this series, I always forget how Anita and Jean Claude meet and how their relationship begins. She has a volatile life and dangerous job. Not only as an animator, but as "The Executioner", and as a consultant with RPIT. The one thing missing in Anita's life is love. Can she find it? Peace? Happiness? Time will tell."The Laughing Corpse"Seriously, is there any peace for Anita? The chick is constantly getting jacked and hurry in ways only The ExecutionerTwists, Turns, Intriguing, Dark, Action Packed, Engrossing, Intense, Addictive & Fascinating! An Awesome Series! I Loved It!
I read the first four books in the series at warp speed. Anita was definitely my home girl. Loved her. As the series progressed I was less into it and my interest faded. But the first four or five are definitely worth reading.
I've Read and love the Anita Blake series it is so wonderful.
This is an excellent series. It becomes predictable but is still enjoyable. It's a good mix of fantasy, and sci-fi with a main character as sarcastic as I am. You know I'd get hooked on that..lol.
I really liked the first few of this vampire series...the later novels are pretty bad...yet I keep reading them anyway (lol)
I love her books. There everything you need it. Action, Romance, suspense, fantasy, and police work also. I really enjoy her books. It keeps you on your or your head in the book from the beginning to the end
