HamiltonĪt the end of The Killing Dance, I was extraordinarily enthusiastic of the potential triumvirate power to come from the binding of the Wolfe, Vampire, and Necromancer. Review #3 Burnt Offerings audiobook by Laurell K. I love the world and character building and could easily accept seeing many of these characters walking down the street. Something really interesting occurs between Anita and Richard that you wont want to miss.

Youll love to see how she deals with one and how youll feel about another well youll have to make up your own mind.Ī variety of situations are faced and there is plenty of action. This is the only book so far in the series where Anita is in the physical presence of the council members other than in the metaphysical. This book has been reread a number of times throughout the years and many things that occur here are important to the rest of the series. Shes not about to back down from anyone or anything and the council learns more about her. Theres a great deal going on in this book and you get a really good idea of just how seriously Anita takes what she feels is her responsibility for others. And if that wasnt enough on their plates, Humans First is causing problems. Not only do Anita and Jean-Claude have to save their own people and allies, but their presence is causing problems with weaker vampires. Then there are members of the vampire council who came to town and takes over the Circus.

Anita is still lupa and forces others to accept the position in order to protect both one of theirs as well as a leopard. The leopards were left leaderless when Anita killed Gabriel and they need her help since Sylvia, 2nd in the Pack, refuses to let anyone help them. Review #2 Burnt Offerings audiobook in series Anita Blakeįallout from the last book has Anita, Richard and Jean-Claude as a triumvirate, yet theyre having some problems because Richard has cut himself off from them and is out of town working on a degree while looking for a new lupa. However, I love the overall storyline and many of thr characters are dear to me.

There is also how quickly they rise in being able to kill beings so much more powerful than they are, then to have problems with lower powerful people. For wanting to be one the boys and their hard core death dealer, she balks at idea of sex. I can kill easier than having sex? How does that translate at all? Perhaps there is something more psychological that i can not comprehend, but I find that thr farther we get into the series, the more it bothers me. Why can she accept and embrace that part, yet not the other. She has zero issue killing, a sin for her catholic upbringing just thr same as sex. My constant for the series thr further I get into it is her failure to accept her physical want. Everything about thr Anita Blake is levels upon levels of complexity.
