A friend suggested that I read two series. The Dresden Files and the Anita Blake books. I read through the Dresden files, with the exception of the newest book, and I absolutely loved.
So, with some hope for at least a decent story I started the Anita Blake series. I was not disappointed. Anita is far different from Harry Dresden, and that's a good thing. I absolutely love her interactions with her world, the way she is so rational and fearless, and the fact that she seems to be so focused on what is important.
I look forward to the rest of the series.

Will Leave You a Little Breathless
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022
The Laughing Corpse, Laurell K. Hamilton, 1994My favorite quote: “People say I’m a feminist, but in truth, I am an equalist. I believe that everyone, male and female, should be free to be whom and what they are. Not to fit into some tight cultural box.”Notable characters: Anita Blake, vampire hunter; Bert, her boss; Harold Gaynor, the client; Jean-Claude, the master vamp of St. Louis; Dominga Salvador, a badass vaudun priestess to end all badass vaudun priestessesMost memorable scene: Near the end of the book, in the cemetery. I’m not sure how much I should say. It’s just … awesome. And terrifying (read this and tell me it’s not some of the horror-iest horror out there. I’ll wait …)Greatest strengths: Description. Laurell K. Hamilton has always been a hero of mine in the description department and this book brims with reasons why. You feel what her characters feel, see what they see, and taste what they taste. Few authors are able to deliver this caliber of sensory experienceStandout achievements: If you read this fast like I did, it will actually leave you a little breathless. I’d call that an achievementFun Facts: It’s been ten years so I can talk about it now: I called in sick to work to finish this book. I seriously just-one-more-chaptered it all night long, and into the morning. I’ve just-one-more-chaptered it before but never like this. So yeah, if my former boss is reading this — sorry, Becky. In my defense, it was a really, really good book … and I DID have vacation days to cover my time …Other media: The Laughing Corpse is part of the graphic novel series, Anita Blake, Vampire HunterWhat it taught me: To never go easy on your main character. Seriously. Just when you think things can’t get any worse for poor Anita, BAM! — another layer of hurt. Cruel? Maybe — but it keeps the characters growing and the readers readingHow it inspired me: This series doesn’t just bend genre, it transcends it, and these are the books I was reading when I realized I didn’t necessarily have to follow all the “rules” in my own writing. **Disclaimer: There is a place for rules. It’s just that there’s a way to break them, too — and this series is a fine example of how to do it wellAdditional thoughts: I’m (slowly) working my way through this series for the 4th (or is it the 5th?) time, and I gotta say: it holds upHaunt me: alistaircross.com
