Synopsis from GoodreadsTitle: Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #1)
Author: Laurell K. Hamilton
Publishing Date: 1993
Anita Blake may be small and young, but vampires call her the Executioner. Anita is a necromancer and vampire hunter in a time when vampires are protected by law—as long as they don't get too nasty. Now someone's killing innocent vampires and Anita agrees—with a bit of vampiric arm-twisting—to help figure out who and why.
Trust is a luxury Anita can't afford when her allies aren't human. The city's most powerful vampire, Nikolaos, is 1,000 years old and looks like a 10-year-old girl. The second most powerful vampire, Jean-Claude, is interested in more than just Anita's professional talents, but the feisty necromancer isn't playing along—yet. This popular series has a wild energy and humor, and some very appealing characters—both dead and alive.
My Thoughts
This is one hell of a book!!
When I started it, it was very confusing because there were a lot of characters to remember, but believe me it all falls through together eventually.
Anita Blake is a kick-ass vampire hunter, but until the law has changed and vampirism became legal, her job became very limited. On top of that, there were a series of murders in which vampires are the victims, and Anita has no choice but to help the most powerful vampire to find the killer.
This was packed, I mean packed with action and humor. Anita's witty comments were hilarious. I couldn't get enough of it! The scenes were very UNPREDICTABLE which made it hard to stop reading!
With the style of writing, you get to actually connect with the characters and feel what they feel. Not just Anita, but all of the characters which is a very spectacular skill from the author.
In addition, with all that positiveness, there were things that kindda bothered me, but not majorly. They were these statements which were repetitive "she licked her lips with her tiny pink tongue", "he licked his lips with his pink tongue" "his muscles are the size of my face, but my face is small anyways" "his thigh is the size of my waist, but my waist is small anyways" .... I don't know the exact sentences, but they were a bit annoying to me. However, overall, the positive aspects of the book outweighs its negative aspects which made me rate this book 5/5
Also, i just want to put this out. The clothing style in the book is super funny and it was hard to imagine the characters without laughing. I loved it.
Please red this series! It's damn worth it!!!!!!! :D
