This is the first in a long series. I enjoyed the storyline and the plot. The main character seems to need a little more development, but since it's only three or so days out of her life, i can learn more about her as the series progresses. Anita is an interesting character that seems a little naive...

I can see where the appeal comes from, really I do. Anita is gritty and determined and the writing is funny in that biting sort of way. I'm just really uncomfortable with the whole dominated aspect- her friend is dominated by a vampire and taken captive, she is dominated my a vampire to get her to d...

A nice quick-to-read storyNothing too new when you've read your share of Urban Fantasy, but still a bit different considering Anita's profession.I liked that the story didn't do the (by now) "usual" turn into loads of freaky supernatural sex, but I've heard that changes as the series progresses. I'l...

So this was my first ever audiobook. It wasn't too bad, but I don't know if I will be doing a whole lot of them. I mean its great while doing the dishes or laundry or any other housework or even over the car stereo, but just laying around or sitting around listening was hard for me. I need to be doi...

The writing and mystery are fine, but the story is just not what I look for in an urban fantasy series. It leans too heavily on the physical aspect of mythology, which is interesting and different from other UF series out in the market, but there isn't enough background mythology to pull me in. I pr...

Two stars only because action is good. And no Magic Vagina(TM). But I hate Anita. She is internal misogynist and sexist with a disturbing fetish for infantile men. I like Edward, though. And Phillip. I don't know why - he was obviously tossed there as some bizarre inversion of damaged frail maiden f...

This was another . . . book. Things happened in it. And, as a rule, I am in favor of things happening in a book, especially when keeping in mind the alternative. This series seems like it is probably Sookie Stackhouse’s cool aunt, whom Sookie fiercely wishes she could be. Meaning, I like Sookie ...
