Summary: Disappointed actually...
Review: I had read some of the early books in the Anita Blake - series, and quite enjoyed them. So, I thought Blue Moon looked promising. The actual plot is very good. And the bad guys are very good, horrifying, and believable. The real problem I have is with the heroes. Listen, you are holed up in a cabin, surrounded by rather disgusting rotting vampires, lots and lots of them. You try to survive, right? Not in this book: the main characters starts bickering about who sleeps with who, and, even more important - why this one does not sleep with me! Get real! Ms. Blake does act more like a stubborn child than a fearless, and dangerous, vampire slayer. OK, some of it is relevant: the werewolves need to know who is alpha, so some testing is alright there, and the poor wereleopards have been so sexually abused that they cannot relate to other people in any other way, so that's also good (a very good point actually). But, come on, you don't think it is sexy looking at a vampire drinking from someone that is rotting alive, however naked he is!
I feel that a lot of the tension from the earlier books are gone, and replaced by "Survivor"-like squabbling.

Summary: Non stop action!
Review: This was the first Anita Blake book I read, and I couldn't wait to read another one! I read until ,y eyes couldn't focus on the words any more, and yet I couldn't stop reading! The fights are so fast paced you feel as if you're in the middle of the chaos. There is also some great information on werewolves. If you want to learn more about werewolf hierarchy and rituals I highly recommend reading this book!!!

Summary: Great, but too much Richard
Review: Fans of this series will be thoroughly entertained, but too much Richard. As a "hero" this guy has got to go. He's a complete wuss, a bad match for Anita, and a COMPLETE BORE to read about. Can't wait for Ms. Hamilton to kill him off.
