Blood Noir (edit title)

• Rated 2 stars

“My least favorite of the series. I realize it was a setup for Skin Trade but I could have lived without it.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Not bad! Not terribly good, either, but not terrible...”

• Rated 2 stars

“I wasn't impressed. It took me a long time to get into the story, and when I finished the book, I couldn't help but feel that it was somehow "unfinished". IMO, there were too many loose ends that were never properly tied up.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Not as bad as some of the recent ones...still too much sex not enough action, but I'm hoping that the next one is better. I've heard that it is, but I guess we'll see....”

• Rated 1 stars

“Better than the past several books in the series by the author. More plot ”

• Rated 3 stars

“It improved a little bit from the last book in the series, but still revolves mostly around the ardeur. There is more background about Jason, which was nice too.”

• Rated 4 stars

“I prefer the Merry Gentry series but I haven't read any of the Anita Blake that I haven't liked. All of them are very well-written. ”

• Rated 3 stars

“Anita runs off to save Jason and give his dad some peace and gets totally blindsided by Marmee Noir. This one wasn't my favorite to be sure, but there was a little bit of story between all the sex and mind-rolling.”

• Rated 4 stars

“As much as I love Jason (he has to be one of my favorite male characters), I felt the story was lacking. Where it was nice to see his background and family, it was a mundane or Hallmark setting. The Anita Blake plot didn't really start until half way through the book, and then it felt almost rushed through the dramatic scenes. I like the story, it was good, it it felt like there could have been more. I'm eagerly waiting Skin Trade with Edward.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This book in the series does a turn around from some of the "harder to read" ones. I love the Anita Blake series but for a while there it seemed like a bunch of erotica and less story line... and there is awesome story line usually so that was dissapointing! But this book and the one before just go to show that Laurell can still write a good story with out all the sex. I would recomend this book”
