And, a few days later, she finds herself at a vampire-run nightclub called Guilty Pleasures.ĭuring the festivities, Anita is paged by the police and makes a brief visit to a graveyard. Monica asks Anita if she can be the designated driver for the bachelorette party.
Naturally, Anita doesn’t take the job.īut, later, Anita gets a phone call from someone called Monica who is helping out with Anita’s friend Catherine’s wedding. Someone has been killing vampires ( without a lawful reason) and he’s been told to ask her to investigate the killings. Anita Blake, a professional necromancer ( or “animator”) and part-time executioner of criminal vampires, is sitting in her office when a friendly vampire called Willie walks in. This is the 2009 Headline (UK) paperback edition of “Guilty Pleasures” that I read. Needless to say, this review may contain some SPOILERS. So, let’s take a look at “Guilty Pleasures”. I’m not sure how many of them I’ll end up reviewing, since I’ve got a lot of other books on my “to read” pile, but I was eager to see what this series was actually like – since I’d always see these novels on the horror shelves of bookshops when I was younger. Hamilton novel I’ve read – since I reviewed a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” novel by Hamilton back in 2013.Īnyway, I saw several of Hamilton’s “Anita Blake” novels in a charity shop in Petersfield last April but, for cost reasons, only ended up buying three of them. Surprisingly though, “Guilty Pleasures” isn’t actually the first Laurell K.
After all, it’s been a while since I last read a vampire thriller novel ( I think that the last ones I read were Jocelynn Drake’s amazing “Dark Days” series, which I reviewed here, here, here, here, here, here and here ). Hamilton’s 1993 novel “Guilty Pleasures”. So, I thought that I’d check out Laurell K. Well, after reading Hilary Mantel’s “ Wolf Hall“, I wanted to read something shorter and more fast-paced.
