Product Description:
Readers can’t get enough of the #1 New York Times bestselling author.

A favor for Jason, vampire hunter Anita Blake’s werewolf lover, puts her in the center of a fullblown scandal that threatens master-vampire Jean- Claude’s reign—and makes her a pawn in an ancient vampire queen’s new rise to power.

- The downward spiral continues.. breaking point?
I have this to say to LKH, and about Blood Noir and the new direction of the Anita Blake series.

If you're going to write porn, learn to write it well. If you're going to continue calling these "real" novels, you might want to up the plot factor and let the sex become a delicious little treat every few chapters.

BN is too full of poorly written sexual encounters for me to consider it seriously. If you want to turn it into the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter (if you know what I mean, wink wink) series, by all means, but please, start to use words and phrases besides "breathy" and "just flat does it for me". It's like LKH has been walking the line between eroticism and being too embarrassed to write what she's really "seeing" for many books now, and it's getting old.

- 1 Star is too good
I can't say it better than this:

If I wanted porn - I'd rather watch it then read it. I'd get more out of it.

I was so addicted to Anita Blake and the character. But the last few books have just been trash in my eyes. And no, I'm not a prude. FAR FAR FAR from it.

This book has the least substance of them all for me. It's a waste of paper it was printed on.

- Hoping for better in the next one
I'm a huge fan of the series, but I've been disappointed in the last few books, and this one in particular. I agree with at least one other reviewer -- this should have been a novella, but instead it got stretched into a full book with the addition of a lot of sex. Or it should have been called "Jason" (akin to the "Micah" book), and had even more depth about Jason's history and character development.

I hope LKH can turn this trend around. Anyone can get fatigued (after 16 Anita books, who can blame her?), and I'm willing to wait a little longer for the next one in the series if it means a better book.

I love that LKH pushes sexual boundaries. But the last couple of books have seemed like nothing more than sex -- it has become both the primary problem Anita is dealing ... Read More

- love it
i like this book because i really love jasons charter and i wanted to learn more about him. but i do kind of get what the other people are saying about the series about the whole sex thing it getting a little boring but whatever i dont really care i still love these books and will continue to reado both of her series.

- The stories have changed, but they're not bad!
Ok, so I've read EVERY single book that LKH has written. Yes, her stories have changed to become a lot more about sex (a little ironic especially for the Anita Blake series since Anita started off as Ms. Chastity Belt). Still, it doesn't make the stories bad. That being said, I like romance novels and also like the steamy sex scenes (gotta get my fix somewhere, right?). But for the male audience out there that reads these books, I suppose I can see why they would be so terribly upset by this. The series certainly started out much differently... so much more so that as we all know, Marvel Comics picked up the books as comics. These later books... probably from the 5th or 6th onward, aren't really appropriate for comic books at all. To remove the sexual charged scenes would leave not much left ... Read More
