anyone read the anita blake series?
its a work of fiction by Laurell K. Hamilton.
The series takes place in a parallel fantasy world where vampires, shape shifters, werewolves, faeries, etc. exist. Her night job, and primary source of income, is the legal profession of re-animating the dead. As an "animator" in a parallel St. Louis, her job entails using magical abilities to bring temporary life to dead bodies in order to question them for legal purposes. She is a necromancer, which allows her to control the dead, including vampires and zombies, but not ghosts and ghouls. She is also a licensed vampire hunter/executioner, with eventual empowerment as a Federal Marshal. In her world this profession involves tracking down and killing vampires who have murdered humans. She is also held in retainer for the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team (RPIT, pronounced Rip-it), which investigates supernatural crimes committed involving magic, vampires, werewolves, and other superrnatural creatures. there are currently 17 books in the series and ifc just picked up the rights to turn it into a mini series on cable. very good book series if anyone is looking for something to read. |

i have read and loved them right up till anita turned into a sex/blood addict that got old really fast, is that still a problem? my favourite character was edward. i have actually left all the books at my ex's house might be time to get them for a re-read!

well she still needs to feed off of sex but the last couple of books didnt focus so much around it as it first did. the one just released "skin trade" is one of my faves so far...it revolves solely around anita,edward,olaf (remember him?) and bernardo. you would definately enjoy this book

I thought the first few were fun, but the later ones drifted into kinky semi-hardcore porn. I've no objections to porn, but her kinks didn't match mine.

yes she does tend to straddle the line of kinky and crazy. i kind of speed read past it because although i do love a juicy romance novel with a great sex story to it...the kind of sex anita gets into is soooo not something that would turn me on lol
