Finshed VH 12: Incumbus Dreams

Like all Anita Blake books this was a lot of information and sex jammed into one book! So much goes on in these books that it is hard to summarize and since we have been reading them back to back I get a little lost!! Incubus Dreams in a all male strip club across the river in St. Louis where Anita goes to help her drunk friend Ronnie with Micah and Nathanial and ends up finding a body left by the vampire serial killer she and the police and trying to find. Despite the sex, this book was hard to get through, Carol and I started calling these books NyQuil cause they put your ass to sleep!!! It is just too much information and too many positions crammed into one! Therefore, we decided to take a break after this book and hoping maybe a breather will give us renewed interest in Anita, however at this point, I don't know if we will pick up another Anita book again. However, in case we do, the important points of this book to remember, as regards to the series, are, Richard, Anita and JC finally get it on and bring their power to a new level! Anita is getting better controlling the aurdeur and has embraced her love for Nathanial and the fact that she has five boyfriends? No Asher in this book, but a finally a great love scene with Anita and JC ALONE! Towards the end of this book, it sounds like Micah may take the dip, thinking only the auerdeur ties his and Anita's bond together, while Vittoro, the vampire who is serial killing across nation with his band of crazies is still at large. JC has also gained some new vampires, Wicked and Truth and more who are tired of Vittoro's murderous ways, want to come on board.

Finished Incubus Dreams Book 12

The book was filled with details and intimate interaction between Anita and the men in her life.
The adeur has transitioned Anita from a prudish young woman who takes pride  in being celibate to
an almost promiscuous woman. If she does not feed the Adeur then those that belong to her ie. Damian will start to die.  So now she has no choice but to give in and feed the Adeur which mainly means to have crazy mad sex with whom ever is around and willing.  The other aspect of the Aduer is that because it needs to be fed about every 6 hours she can not use the same  people they will not survive all of that loving.  She can literally love a person to death.  In book 11 Anita has accidentally formed another triumvirate between herself, Nathaniel, and Damian.  Nathaniel becomes a little more assertive because he wants to actually have a full relationship with Anita a not just be he Pomedesang.  Michah is still around him and his larger than life better have.   In this book JC, Anita, and Richard finally become a triumvirate.  Although I was excited that Richard came back into the picture, it was not what I would have hoped for, then again I am a romantic at heart.  There is a crime to be solved and vampires to be executed.  Anita continues to battle with herself she doubts that she can continue to help the police and is learning how to let go somewhat.  She is realising that she does not have to fix every problem, cause when one evil person is demolished another comes in to take there place.  With in the series we see Anita experience personal growth,  she begins to go out of her comfort zone for the people in her life she loves.

Finished VH 9 Obsidian Butterfly

We are working our way through Anita but I have to say this was one of the hardest books for us to get through. In this book Anita travels to New Mexico to meet up with Edward who has requested her presence to help solve a gruesome monster killing. This is the work of one of the worst serial killers Anita has ever dealt with and it makes her realize that this kind of work is really starting to effect her. She becomes more emotional dealing with the victims and decides that after this she definitely needs a vacation. We got to see Edward's soft side and learn more about the elusive Edward which was interesting at first but them became boring after a while. There was no action what so ever in this book except for her memorable experience with Bernardo which took place in front of a bar full of people... In spite of all of the twists and turns and bloody details I could have lived without, this was an important book in the series for a few reasons. One is that she gained new power from dealing with the Obsidian Butterfly, the Master Vamp of New Mexico who set Anita up in a way to take care of the serial killer who was raining in on the her parade. Anita also meet Olaf in this book, who I think will show up again and who is a definite threat to her safety. And lastly, she realized that she needed a break and sometime to work on herself. Anita taking time out just for her was a big realization that she couldn't "handle" it all.

Finished Cerulean Sins VH 11!!!!

Well my fellow bloggers' this one was about as good as the one before.  Anita is coming to terms with what she has become.  Anita's character has evolved sins we first met her, she used to be the executioner and she also raised Zombies.  Now she is that and much more, JC human servant, she is in a triumvirate with JC and Richard, she is a necromancer, she is Nimir-ra to the were leopards and she is the enforcer for the wolf pack.  Those are many titles to toggle among.  Each title comes with its own share of issues and Anita is trying to adapt to them all.  In book 11 we see the adeur and how much it controls her life.  She has piratically had to through out the old moral code book and start another.  Remember the vowel of celibacy she had made with herself long ago we'll she has had to forgo that as well.  because of the adeur she has sleeps with JC, Micha, and Nathaniel on a daily basis.  However in this book she adds Jason, and Asher to the growing list on conquest.  Anita is having a hard time accepting the adeur and all that comes with it (mostly promiscuit sex).  They have a dangerous encounter with other vamps and Belle Morte tries to mark her to make her into her human servant.  Dolph is losing his mind because his son has married a vampire and she wants to turn him into one because she doesn't want him to get older than 25.  As if her personal life wasn't crazy enough there is a powerful shape shifter mutilating woman.  There is lots of action and excitement and some surprising situations. Over all it was a good story but a little to crowded with side stories for me.  I personally like to be given 1 or 2 problems read about then dissect them completely solve then and the move on to the next.  Its hard to keep up when the story line changes from one sentence to the other.  Yes it comes together at the end but its like having lots of small incomplete stories simultaneously, that when never get the complete version to.

Final Sookie Book Cover!

She is in the sun but it is setting! What does it all mean??? Alcide, Sam and Quin are with her...who are the bats? Eric, Bill and Pam? Lord have mercy this better be good!

Finished VH 10 Narcussus in Chains...

This book was very interesting because it introduced us to some new characters.  It is also the point of no return for Anita.  Up until now she has been teetering back and forth with the question of whether or not she is comfortable with the monsters in her life and the fact that through the marks and her necromancy she herself is some kind of a monster.  For Anita the fact that she is a devout Christian is some what of a dilemma.
She fears that God would not approve of her actions and association with all the monsters.  Throughout the book she mentions several revelations in which God has let her know that she is still good with him.  That is all the reaffirmation she needs to allow herself to be what she really wants to be.  Her relationship with JC is stronger because JC has always accepted her for what she is.  Richard how ever proves to be a different situation all together.  And we also see a new character by the name of Micha,  he is a were leopard and Nimir-Raj to the leopards we'll have to see what that means to Anita, she is the Nimir-ra to the were leopards.  The book was a good turning point and I look forward to reading the rest of them.
