desertcart.com: Skin Trade: An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel: 9780515148053: Hamilton, Laurell K.: Books

Review: Another fabulous read by Laurell K. Hamilton - I have read and enjoyed the whole Anita Blake series. In fact this is actually the sixth time I've read the whole series. Every time I get a friend to start reading it U begin the series all over again. I find U really enjoy it again and it helps my friends when we have lunch and they can discuss parts about the story or about Anita Blake they missed or didn't understand. Anyone reading this review try the series it's a great/must and enjoyable read. You may read other reviews about Anita Blake saying it turns into to much sex. Hold up people did you not read that she's a form of succubus, that's what it means. But the vampire hunting, zombie raising, honor and justice of Anita Blake remains the same. Reading through to the last book you'll understand the plot and agree with Ms. Hamilton that the story line is strong from beginning to the last book. If in the middle of the series you begin to agree with a few of the reviewers that it's all about the sex or to much sex, then like them you don't have what it takes to read A GREAT SERIES, from a GREAT WRITER.
Review: The other reviews are way too harsh - I have read all of the Anita Blake series and, while I admit the ones in the middle of the series were more about sex than about plot, this one is the exact opposite. There is a lot of plot to this one with some new and creative metaphysical story lines in addition to an awesome and unexpected ending. I have to admit that you have to know the series to understand the ending of this book and its implications, but that is the only weakness that I see - that it does not stand alone very well - but then, in the face of a series, perhaps that is not so important. Of note, some of the criticisms I have seen about "crunchy goodness," etc., I would remind anyone who has never written a book before that EVERYONE has SOME things in their books with which ANYONE can find fault, but that does not give one a good reason to throw the baby out with the bath water. I have never taken the time to write a review before so obviously I feel strongly about this one. Way to go LKH with a wonderful return to story line and plot development with "SKIN TRADE." I certainly hope there are more Anita Blake books to come as there is much to learn about the new characters introduced in this one as well as I am DYING to read more about the true blue and faithful characters like Micah, Nathaniel, Richard, Jean-Claude, and Jason to mention a few.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not As Good As Some Of The Others But Still Worth The Read
*by M***D on September 18, 2011*

I've been reading the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series since it came out and for the most part I've loved it. There have been one book here and there that hasn't made the cut at least to me and I hate to say it but this is one of those books. After 17 books in this series, you have to imagine that not all the books are going to appeal to everyone. This one starts out much like the other books in this series do. Anita is The Executioner in this book and is tracking down a serial killer vampire, Vittorio. She is joined in Las Vegas by her friend Edward AKA Ted as well as Bernardo and Otto Aka Olaf. I was ready for a wonderful book full of mind blowing sex, plenty of action, great dialog, camaraderie, suspense, as well as the great characters Asher, Jean-Claude, Micah and the rest that we are familiar with. Instead I got some weird interaction between Anita and Olaf, which for the record I did not like. Olaf is a serial killer and makes Anita nervous but she was also strangely attracted to him. There was very little sex and one time when it did happen Anita goes to sleep next to two men and wakes up after having an orgy in her room with no memory. There was no flashes of memory to tell us what happened during said orgy, so we didn't get a glimpse into it at all. But when she wakes up she finds that she had a 16 year old boy in her bed. That I found quite disgusting. The book was long, 486 pages long and I'd have to say that less than half was even good. I would love to see Laurell K. Hamilton write the way she did when she first started this series. I miss the hot erotic sex scenes all through the books, I miss the action scenes where Anita is kicking ass and isn't tired of killing the bad guys. I really want her to get back to the main characters and back into her relationship with them. I want to see more Jean-Claude, Asher, Micah and Jason. As well as the other men she is having a relationship with along with them. Will this short fall with this book keep me from reading her next book? No, I have become a fan of the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry Series and I will keep buying and reading the books probably until the series ends because most of the books are really good.
