Narcissus in Chains: An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel

April 29, 2012

I am totally pleased with this book. I think it's safe to say this has been the best book so far. I was getting tired of Anita's guilt and morals, so tired that I wanted to get inside the book and slap her around lol but God bless the \"ardeur\".

As a HUGE fan of the Anita Blake series (and a voracious consumer of vampire literature in all its guises), I had been anxiously awaiting this 10th in the series, especially after \"Obsidian Butterfly\" took Anita so far afield with only Edward for familiar companionship; unlike Anita's previous trips to Tennessee and Branson, Missouri wherein she travelled within something of a paranormal entourage.

Each book contains near death experience for Anita, her denial and her relationships. Although the premise is thee same, the story itself is different and very entertaining. I have enjoyed the series and I also like the new sex scenes. However, I am so tired of Anita saying she cares for jean-claude but does not trust him or accept him. She knows what the aduer is like, but she does not want him to feed from her? Yet, others are suppose to feed her. She will not even let him feed from her for...
