The Harlequin: An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel Audiobook

" I have made it to the 15th Anita Blake novel. I think that there is something addicting in these books, because i'm never quite sure why i keep reading them. The first 3/4 of the book moved VEEERRRYYY SLLLOOWWWWLLYYY just like they always do. it's like she's a writer for Lost. There is, however, less sex than normal in this book. The Anita Blake books have of late dissolved into a giant, booklong orgy, with too many descriptions of clothes, and lots of retelling introductions and backstory of what we already know stuck in for good measure. I think she got the message that she was going overboard. when there's more sex than 50 shades of grey, you need to rein it in. but the overly descriptive clothes and backstory intros of everyone every two seconds was still here. plus lots and lots of talking. i don't like anita much, because she is so hypocritical. and richard is his usual annoying self. they're so alike. still, i liked this book because things did happen (they don't always in these books) and the last quarter was pretty good. How does Hamilton keep track of all the powers and rules and things she makes up each time? All in all, not the best ever, but pretty good, and if you've been skipping ahead to try and find a book that isn't just a giant porn, then try this one. Not to mention, we get to see how Edward & his family are doing. "

" This book had a little more of a plot than the previous two, but it was still fairly thin and underdeveloped. There were no random sex scenes. Everything sexual fit with the context of the story, which is a plus from previous books. Again there was a lot of talking about what to do without really doing it. I'm curious to know how things are going to end (if Hamilton ever makes an ending to this mess) so I may continue reading the series despite disliking the recent volumes. "

" I liked the fact that Edward was back in this one. "

" Richard really up-set me in this one, but at least he started to be honest with himself and face his issues. "

" this is about what the title says...the Harlequin. they come to town, stuff happens....Anita does her thing. "

" This is the first I have read of the Anita Blake vampire hunter novels and I think it is the last. Deffinately strange. "

" Gave it a 4 star because of the last third of the book reminded me of the earlier books in this series before Anita's love life became the main focus - and Edward is in this one! "

" These books are gloriously addictive and the story just keeps getting better as the books progress. I love how Olaf pays a visit in this book, along with the lovely Edward. "

" Those who name must not be spoken allowed flock to St Lois to kill Anita and her special bonds she has with her vampire, werewolf and leapords but knowing Anita that will be hard. "

" One of my favorites so far. Beware, lost & lots of very descriptive sex scenes. I loved it, but not everyone will. "

" I loved the idea of a secret vampire boogie-man that no one wants to talk about. The idea that some of the most powerful creatures have something they get scared about was very interesting to me. "

" This is my first experience of an Anita Blake novel and I loved it; but it's high on the scale of descriptive sex so beware! "

" My sister has tried for years to get me to read Laurell K. Hamilton vampire hunter Anita Blake. Last summer I did and I was hooked. Some Anita Blake's story are better then others. I've always read books about strong women kicking butt, and I'm open to any suggestion for other good reads. "

" Not my favourite book but an extra star just because Edward and Olaf are around and because whiny Richard has been dumped !! "

" i did not like the book. it took too long for the action to really start and was a confusing read "

" Another excellent trashy vampire tale perfect for my beach vacation. "

" I loved this book. I think that Laurell K. Hamilton has an absolute talent for bringing together sex and the supernatural. I love them all. "

" Solid Anita book. Less angst, more mystery. My assessment suffers as I am reading books out of order, with many gaps (I take what is on the library shelf) "

" Okay, this was my first book I have read by Laurell K. Hamilton and I must say it was interesting. I think I should go to the beginning: Guilty Pleasures. For uniqueness 5 stars. "

" I had continued to read after the peak of the series at Obsidian Butterfly mainly just rubbernecking the train wreck, but I can't even stomach that anymore. Someone get this woman some help. "

" The books are getting more and more obscure, I don't think I can even finish reading the series. Maybe one day when I have a lot of time on my hands. "

" I didn't quite finish it because I realized I just didn't care what happened anymore. I am going to continue reading the series since I do enjoy them. I just hope they get better than this. "

" This is the second best Anita Blake book in the series. "

" This one is much better than the last book, Danse Macabre. There is a little more plot in the story and I learned the sex scenes are for the main protagonist to gain more power. And it also introduces a new villian in Marmee Noir. Very enjoyable. "

" OMG!(means oh my Gosh) Not the other. But anyways. I loved this one. Anita is always at her best even when she is at her worst. Hells yeah I will read this one again. a series I can't put down "

" Many twists & turns but very goood "

" Will Anita Blake ever make it through a book again without nearly getting killed and ending up unconscious in a hospital?I was happy to see the return of Edward, though. "

" Wow! There are some pretty intense sex scenes in this one. But is it too much? "

" The "big bad vampires" come to town and wreak havoc. The trio of Jean-Claude, Anita and Richard are tested and in my opinion Richard fails. Richard needs to grow a pair and get over himself. He's getting very tiresome. "
