Comments:

Now most people I know enjoy the Anita Blake, but for the other two of you reading this page who haven't tried it, try it! Cause man is it fun. There's a kick ass chick, guns, fights, blood, animals, sex, magic, voodoo, necromancy, and strip clubs. What more does anyone need in life. While it's not important mind blowing literature, it is kicking people's ass fun. It's amusing and at most times clever and it keeps me turning the pages and hell that is a big plus. Most of all it is in no way reality based which in my world anything that's able to distract me and make me wish I was a bad ass chick is just good clean fun. Don't try reading them out of order because while she does recap you won't know who half the characters are and that's just no fun. Some of my favorites however are: Bloody Bones (ahh Jason how I love you.), The Killing Dance (relief of the sexual tension, yea!) and Guilty Pleasures (because beginnings are always fun.)

As for Merry, she's new and good, but sometimes a little bit too like Anita, especially in the beginning of the very first book. But she's started getting her own character in Caress of Twilight and the plot is slowly becoming more involved, and man her powers...fun and disgusting. And the boys....as always Hamilton's male characters are as fun as ever all of them with hair down to their ankles (not that I like this, but it's entertaining). Oh and if you read Anita and think man this just needs more sex, read Merry because woo-boy is there a lot of sex.

    • This website is just way too entertaining as there are letters from the parents who adopted telling how the adoptees are getting along together...oh the madness! Although it does seem to take them forever to actually send you your adoption of the character. I have yet to get mine. Whe I do II'll post it on the site.

Now everyone has always raved about this book and its sequels to me, yet time and time again I've tried to read it and have gotten stuck. It never seems to get any better yet I keep trying with the promise that the next couple books in the series are worth it...sigh.
