Another fabulous read by Laurell K. Hamilton

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have read and enjoyed the whole Anita Blake series. In fact this is actually the sixth time I've read the whole series. Every time I get a friend to start reading it U begin the series all over again. I find U really enjoy it again and it helps my friends when we have lunch and they can discuss parts about the story or about Anita Blake they missed or didn't understand. Anyone reading this review try the series it's a great/must and enjoyable read. You may read other reviews about Anita Blake saying it turns into to much sex. Hold up people did you not read that she's a form of succubus, that's what it means. But the vampire hunting, zombie raising, honor and justice of Anita Blake remains the same. Reading through to the last book you'll understand the plot and agree with Ms. Hamilton that the story line is strong from beginning to the last book. If in the middle of the series you begin to agree with a few of the reviewers that it's all about the sex or to much sex, then like them you don't have what it takes to read A GREAT SERIES, from a GREAT WRITER.

The other reviews are way too harsh

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2009

I have read all of the Anita Blake series and, while I admit the ones in the middle of the series were more about sex than about plot, this one is the exact opposite. There is a lot of plot to this one with some new and creative metaphysical story lines in addition to an awesome and unexpected ending. I have to admit that you have to know the series to understand the ending of this book and its implications, but that is the only weakness that I see - that it does not stand alone very well - but then, in the face of a series, perhaps that is not so important.

Of note, some of the criticisms I have seen about "crunchy goodness," etc., I would remind anyone who has never written a book before that EVERYONE has SOME things in their books with which ANYONE can find fault, but that does not give one a good reason to throw the baby out with the bath water.

I have never taken the time to write a review before so obviously I feel strongly about this one. Way to go LKH with a wonderful return to story line and plot development with "SKIN TRADE." I certainly hope there are more Anita Blake books to come as there is much to learn about the new characters introduced in this one as well as I am DYING to read more about the true blue and faithful characters like Micah, Nathaniel, Richard, Jean-Claude, and Jason to mention a few.

Not As Good As Some Of The Others But Still Worth The Read

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2011

Verified Purchase

I've been reading the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series since it came out and for the most part I've loved it. There have been one book here and there that hasn't made the cut at least to me and I hate to say it but this is one of those books.

After 17 books in this series, you have to imagine that not all the books are going to appeal to everyone. This one starts out much like the other books in this series do. Anita is The Executioner in this book and is tracking down a serial killer vampire, Vittorio. She is joined in Las Vegas by her friend Edward AKA Ted as well as Bernardo and Otto Aka Olaf.

I was ready for a wonderful book full of mind blowing sex, plenty of action, great dialog, camaraderie, suspense, as well as the great characters Asher, Jean-Claude, Micah and the rest that we are familiar with.

Instead I got some weird interaction between Anita and Olaf, which for the record I did not like. Olaf is a serial killer and makes Anita nervous but she was also strangely attracted to him.

There was very little sex and one time when it did happen Anita goes to sleep next to two men and wakes up after having an orgy in her room with no memory. There was no flashes of memory to tell us what happened during said orgy, so we didn't get a glimpse into it at all. But when she wakes up she finds that she had a 16 year old boy in her bed. That I found quite disgusting.

The book was long, 486 pages long and I'd have to say that less than half was even good. I would love to see Laurell K. Hamilton write the way she did when she first started this series. I miss the hot erotic sex scenes all through the books, I miss the action scenes where Anita is kicking ass and isn't tired of killing the bad guys. I really want her to get back to the main characters and back into her relationship with them. I want to see more Jean-Claude, Asher, Micah and Jason. As well as the other men she is having a relationship with along with them.

Will this short fall with this book keep me from reading her next book? No, I have become a fan of the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry Series and I will keep buying and reading the books probably until the series ends because most of the books are really good.

This is the first book of this series that I have reread. It's one of my personal favorites of her's. I think I will slowly start to get all of the other books. I had them in hardback. So time to get the ebooks.

This was amazing
It is one thing to have a family and another to live up to your own potential and become a vital part of that group. Every time I read a book in this series I am left thinking of how privileged it is to be able to find the people we want to love and to find the work that helps us to feel useful. I know these books of fantasy are supposed be only a fun diversion from or life reality but I find this series is healing and possibly that accounts for my being willing to read it more than once. Thank you Laurel K. Hamilton because you put it in a book I have the ability to return year after year whenever I need to feel comfort.

Finally back to the action!!! Love it!!

Finally got around to reading this one and it is so good. I was so excited to see she brought some former characters back. Lots of action! Just one weird thing… I’ve found atleast 3 spelling errors which is rare to find in a published book. Laurel needs a better proof reader. But all in all this is a great book. Glad to see she’s getting back to all the action. I’m not much for erotica, a little is ok but I really enjoy the characters engaging.

Neues von Anita

Reviewed in Germany on June 15, 2009

Verified Purchase

Anita ist mal wieder unterwegs als U.S. Marshal für das Übernatürliche und hat so einiges aufzuarbeiten: ihre Lebensumstände in St. Louis, der Einsatz in Las Vegas, wo sie nicht gerade mit offenen Armen empfangen wird, Vampir-Politik und Olaf, der Albtraum-Kampfgefährte.
Anita wäre nicht so interessant, wenn sie nicht regelmäßig Selbstzweifel hätte, die aber angesichts ihres toughen Vorgehens nach außen selten sichtbar werden. Hier jedoch trifft sie auf Menschen, die mehr von ihrer Welt verstehen als viele andere (Vampire und Weres sind natürlich ausgenommen). Hier stehen die inneren Kämpfe mit ihrer Welt mal wieder im Zusammenhang mit klassischer Action, auch wenn die sexuelle Komponente immer mitschwingt - eindeutig Geschmacksache. Aber wie weit würdest Du gehen, wenn es um Dein Leben geht?

Back to Her Best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 15, 2009

Verified Purchase

Skin Trade is Laurell K Hamiltons latest Anita Blake Vampire hunter Novel. I found this to be one of the best in the series. Recently she has seemed to have been getting lost in Anita Blakes sex life; Danse Macabre springs to mind there; rather than focusing on story and plot. In Skin Trade Laurel K Hamilton has more than abley balanced the two elements. I am not saying that the ardeur and its effect should not be covered as it is more than central to the Anita blake character, rather that the ins and outs of her outrageous sex life should be left more to the imagination. Perhaps though that is my prurient upbringing showing there.
In Skin Trade, Anita Blake is goaded to Las Vegas by Vittorio, a psychotic vampire she failed to kill last time around. Its obvously a trap but in true Anita Blake form, she marches straight on into it. The beauty of this story is that we get the deadly triumverate of Anita, Edward and Olaf as the central characters. The only two mortals scarier than most of the preternaturals that Anita hangs out with. The most suprising thing is the development of the relationship between Anita and Olaf. No spoilers here, but I just love the dangerous interaction between these two.
I do not say this lightly when I say that, for me, this was one of the best in the series. If you like Anita Blake then you will love this. If you have not read any of the series then this is not the place to start. Get book one and enjoy the ride.
