Blue Moon by Laurell K. Hamilton, 418 pages

Anita Blake gets a call that her former fiance, Richard, has been arrested in Tennessee on charges of rape. Knowing that there is no way Richard could have done it and the full moon is only days away, Anita races to Tennessee to help find a way to clear Richard. It quickly becomes apparent that Richard has been framed to remove him from the scene. But what do the locals not want them to find out, so badly that they are willing to kill for it.
It has been years since I'd read this book in the Anita Blake series, so I had pretty much forgotten everything it. It was a treat to enjoy it again for what seemed like the first time. This book had werewolves, wereleopards, vampires, and even a demon. If you like dark and delicious vampire books, this is the series for you.

Burnt Offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton, 392 pages

The vampire council has shown up to decide if Jean-Claude deserves punishment for killing council member "Earthmover." It's up to Richard, Jean-Claude and Anita to work together to save not only themselves but all the vampires and lycanthropes in St. Louis. But Richard's anger towards Anita and Jean-Claude for their relationship threatens to pull them all apart when they need to pull together more than ever.
This is probably the book in the series where the Anita Blake series started to get weird sexually. But the vampires, werewolves and zombies make it worth reading.

The Killing Dance by Laurell K. Hamilton, 287 pages

Anita Blake is back, dating both werewolf Richard and vampire Jean-Claude. As if her life wasn't complicated enough, she finds out that there is a hit out on her, with a deadline of 24 hours. Bounty hunter and professional killer Edward has shown up to help protect Anita. All of this muscle behind still might not be enough to keep her alive.
Every book reminds me of why I enjoy this series so much, especially the early books. I love vampires, werewolves, and anything creepy with a good story line, and Laurell K. Hamilton always delivers!

The Lunatic Cafe by Laurell K. Hamilton, 369 pages

This book in the Anita Blake series dealt with shapeshifters, lycanthropes, and immortals, all of which have distinct differences. Also, Jean-Claude, vampire master of the city, demands that Anita gives him a chance to woo her. Lots of action, supernatural activity, and blood. Anita Blake really changed the face of vampire fiction.

Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton, 303 pages

I had forgotten how much I liked this series. This book had werewolves, vampires (including one that was 1,000s of years old), a lamia (snake woman), giant cobra, and little Anita Blake, zombie raiser. I finished this book on my break today and with 15 minutes left I had to go and immediately get the next book in the series. I'm enjoying this series for the third time just as much as I did the first time.
