Summary: It's a Killer...
Review: Okay, somebody hose me down, I'm about to explode...Every time I think about this book, it starts out with , "Oh, mon Dien!" Oh, my God! to you people. This series is very educational; you learn about (were)wolves, (were)leopards, and dirty little sweet nothings in French. Hmm, oh yeah, baby. I don't know about you, but Anita gets deeper and deeper into the whole. It's scary to think that she's becoming more like Edward, yet at the same time maintains that edge sanity and normalcy. Great writing at its best. Now, LKH brings us closer to the world of Edward, a.k.a. Death, Undertaker, etc. Oddly enough, he's helping Anita find the person(s) trying to assassinate, murder her with in a certain time frame. This subplot only scratches the surface of the true story. Word of the wise, don't bother reading the blurbs on the back that supposedly tell you what the story is about, it's never totally about what its describing; although a good way to misdirect the reader. Of course the only two that can help Anita, besides Eddy, is Jean-Claude and Richard. Talk about sexual tension, and other things...I digress. While trying to fine the hitter, the three try to aid Richard in his control in the lukoi. This decides the fate of Richard, Anita, and Jean-Claude. The focus is definitely on the foursome and their changing relationships with and toward Anita, or the lack there of in some cases. Anita can no longer decide whether she has crossed that line; that line of being a monster. She questions her direction, love, life, religion, etc. Is she the monster that is becoming? Anita is written so real with her real life attitude and larger than life persona. So much goes on in these books, but you can't wait to start the next one in line!! So start reading. I've never read a book or a series with such engrossing interest, the author usually bores me after the 4th or 5th book. I'm extremely picking on what books I read and I'm so ecstatic that I picked this one up, it's a gold mine.

Summary: Turning point
Review: The Killing Dance held a true appeal in its romance and relationship issues for Anita. The plot of Sabin, Dumane and Cassandra however was wasted in an attempt to throw Anita and Jean-Claude's relationship into a more mature level. I feel that the older triumvirate could have been more developed as characters, in order to give more groundwork to the Richard, Jean-Claude and Anita triangle. Hamilton tends to let the deeper plot overtake the relationships sometimes, but in The Killing Dance, she put way too much focus on Anita finally choosing between her two preternatural boyfriends. The powerful ending helped draw together the novel, and especially with the reconnection between the three main characters. All in all, the book was extremely entertaining, and Anita is now going to have to face a maturity which she has not had previously.

Summary: Author Of Vampyr's review
Review: I loved this book so much so it went into detail with the sex it was nice to see all the lycanthropes again and meet new characters. The whole unexpected turn of Cassandra being a traitor unexpected for me anyway not a minute of boredom when reading for me each page as good as the first I just could not put it down!

Summary: one of the all time best novels!!!!!
Review: In my opinion, the killing dance was one of my favorites of the series Anita Blake vampire hunter. Not only is the character development great in all of the books of the series, but the character involvement is spectacular. The characters are used to their great capability, and that is what makes all these wonderful books worth reading. The killing dance, involves both men in anita's troubled life. Things get a little hot and heavy with both men, but only one is chosen for the final flight. In this book anita chooses who she thinks she will spend her time with, that is if the other one can handle it. This book has many surprises that will effect anita's well being. enjoy this book as I have done, many times in fact.

Summary: Fast read!
Review: This was the first of this genre that I read. Anita Blake's name kept coming up in reviews and I thought I would give this one a try. I loved Anita! But does the girl ever have a chance to relax? Thought the book was hot but not steamy. It was not a waste of time, but I probably won't read another one of its kind.

Summary: The Killing Dance
Review: After reading this book i was astonished by how well the book was written. The story felt so real as if i could taste or feel what anita was going through. It left me bursting out with laughter and at times left some tears. Out of all the anita blake series ive read so far this has absolutely been the best one. I couldnt put the book down, it was sequence after sequence of comedy, action and suspence. It will keep you wondering what happenes next. Alot of emotions flow through anita and also a surprising twist to who she choose at the end. It was so surprising and exciting i guarenty this book will be an unforgotten one.

Review: Ms. Hamilton really knows how to set a mood and create characters. She made the unusual problems of the characters seem relatable. Well done.

Summary: One Too Many Monsters
Review: "The Killing Dance" opens with Anita being asked to lend her talents as a necromancer in an effort to save an ancient master vampire from a corrupting and degenerative disease. Anita agrees to help Sabin and his human servant, Dominic Dumare. Upon leaving this meeting Anita attends a party with her werewolf boyfriend, Richard, and receives a surprise phone call from Edward the bounty hunter. Someone has offered Edward a half-million dollars to remove Anita from this planet. Anita returns to her home with Richard only to walk into an ambush. Anita winds up with an apartment decorated in late assassin and an overly protective (?) hairy boyfriend. Richard has his own problems. He must share Anita with the sexiest vampire in St. Louis, Jean-Claude - Master of the City. More important, his struggle for dominance with Marcus and Raina, the current pack leaders, has split the werewolves. If Richard cannot overcome his reluctance to kill Marcus he will lose his chance, and the lives of many of his supporters will be forfeit. Even Anita knows that he must come to terms with his beast, yet she fears that she will not be able to handle it. And Jean-Claude? In the beginning, his worst problem is that Anita doesn't really want him. As the story progresses we discover that everyone else's problems are also Jean-Claude's. With this novel, Laurell Hamilton establishes herself as a master of the sexy vampire romance tale. A position previously monopolized by Anne Rice. A steady sexual pressure drives the world of vampire and werewolf politics, and Anita finds herself and integral part of the formula. Sensuality is not only a deep pulse underlying her relationships with Richard and Jean-Claude, it is also the key to pack dominance, and the power behind magical forces. Sex, in monster terms, is "The Killing Dance." Let the reader be warned that, as Anita works out her relationships with her competing lovers we will be treated to several steamy scenes that go far beyond the sly innuendo of Hamilton's previous novels. Some may be offended by the rising importance of Anita's romantic entanglements as a plot element. The author handle's this material with the same class and skill that she does the horror and suspense elements. I do feel that the Sabin subplot would have benefited from more development, and a more balanced book resulted. But there is only so much an author can do in a reasonable novel size. "The Killing Dance" appeals to a wider audience than Hamilton's earlier novels, bringing her a well deserved success.

Summary: TOO HOT TO HANDLE!!!
Review: OH MY MS.HAMILTON, THIS WAS THE ONE THAT DID IT. SO FAR THIS IS MY FAVORITE OF THE SERIES. I STILL HAVE TO READ #7 AND #8 BUT FOR RIGHT NOW THIS IS THE ONE FOR ME. ALL THE CHARACTER WERE GOOD AND HAD GOOD LINES IN THE BOOK. THE LOVE SCENE WAS SO HOT AND HEAVY. YOU HAVE TO MAKE MORE NOVELS LIKE THIS. I FELT LIKE I WAS ANITA BLAKE WITH JEAN CLAUDE IN THE BATH TUB. VERY NICE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Summary: Laura's weakest Link in the Anita Series
Review: Every chain must have a weak link and this book was it. I love Horror books and was very pleased when I stumbled across the Anita Blake series, and I loved every book up 'till this one. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a bad book- it just was boring and I felt focused too much on the relations Anita is developing. I also felt that LKH took a step back from her characters, they don't feel as real as they did in the earlier installments of this series. Luckily, I just finish reading Obsidian Butterfly and can happily say LKH has got back into the writitng styles that she missed with this book.
