Incubus Dreams
Anita
Blake Vampire Hunter
By Laurell K. Hamilton
Anita
Blake is back and on the trail of a possible supernatural serial
killer. She is called to the scene of a murdered young woman, and
by the evidence she can tell that this has not been done by humans.
While she wants to get to the bottom of this case, unfortunately,
her personal life is getting in the way. Although she is getting
better at controlling the ardeur that consumes her, she his now
learning new things about her existing trimuvate and accidentally
starting another one that she must now take care of. Life has never
been easy for Anita, but now more than ever things have been sticky.
As
Anita Blake is one of my favorite characters of all times, it pains
me to write this. Incubus Dreams is not nearly as strong
as the rest of the books in the series, if simply for the fact that
the book focuses on sex most of the time and pushes the mystery
into the background. Most of my favorite characters are present
and some great new ones are introduced. Edward is nowhere to be
found, but Ronnie is back. I will definitely read the next book
when it comes out; I just hope that it goes back to the way the
earlier Anita Blake books were.
