The Killing Dance (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 6)

Dating both a vampire and a werewolf isn't easy. But just to complicate Anita's already messy life, someone has put a price on her head. Love cannot save her this time, so she turns to Edward, hitman extraordinaire, for help. But finding the person behind the threat won't be easy, because as both a vampire hunter and zombie reanimator, Anita has made a lot of enemies-both human and otherwise.

Anita Blake, vampire hunter, is now herself a hunted woman. Who put the $500,000 price on her head--a man or a monster? It's not just her own skin she needs to save; the rivalry between her werewolf boyfriend, Richard, and Marcus, the other alpha werewolf in his pack, has come to full boil. And there's always Jean-Claude, the vampire who's been waiting for just the right moment to slip inside Anita's head and heart. Don't assume anything, though--Hamilton's probably got a few more surprises in store.

The Killing Dance (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 6) Reviews

The company I ordered from is great. The delivery was ahead of schedule and the book was in better shape than stated in the ad. I will be ordering from them again. Thanks for great service. The book is as good as its predecessors in the series.

I'm truly beginning to need a scorecard. LKH makes so many references to the previous books mild enough that they don't do much to jog the memory that the plethora of characters can leave you scratching your head. Is this a flaw in the series. Yet, there is certainly character development as Anita continues to move further away from humanness and closer to the monsters. Readers dying to find out who gets the girl Richard or Jean-Claude will be pleased that the answer is finally revealed.

But that's just me. This drives me personally nuts. Her continuous touting both in narrative and conversation about how oh soooooo tough she is creates a pompous, self-centered character who really doesn't deserve the attentions of either Jean-Claude or Richard. If you like Anita, and don't get bogged down in stylistic issues, you will love Book #6. I'm hoping, too, to see LKH's writing mature over the next novels.

And she knows it. For one thing, I don't like Anita, particularly. Instead, I want to know about Jean-Claude, Edward, Richard & some of the other characters. There's some fascinating synergy between Anita, Richard & Jean-Claude that will obviously re-appear in subsequent stories. In any case, LKH continues to unfold the Anitaverse with this latest installment. I still don't rate the Anita books a 5, because there are some things I can't get past. She is definitely becoming more & more paranoid not to mention more revengeful,callous & somewhat cavalier towards her killings, but who wouldn't, given what she's gone through so far. Don't make the mistake that I did and take a break of any length from this series.

and it's luscious. the first with a title that's not named after a eating or entertainment establishment. I get weary of reading ad nauseum about how much blade & heat Anita's packing and how smart & invincible she is.

The plot is fairly simple: there's a bounty out on Anita (which brings the psychopathic gun for hire Edward back into the story), while Richard is fighting to assert his alpha leadership of the werewolf pack. While her stories are spellbounding, her writing is careless and somewhat lazy. Probably not, but there is a neverending flow of satellite characters, and to understand the plot of one book, you have to know what happened with the character in previous books.

It's no understatement that the Anita books need to be read IN ORDER. She's terribly uncreative in avoiding the annoying pitfall of repeating words especially verbs & adjectives not just in the same paragraph but in the same sentence. I'm fairly dispassionate about what happens to her.

I NEVER READ A SINGLE PAGE OF ANY LAURELL HAMILTONS BOOKS. I RANDOMLY PICKED THIS BOOK TO DO A PROJECT. GOOD FUN. I HAPPEND TO GRAB HER BOOK AND I MUST ADMIT, I COULDN'T PUT THE BOOK DOWN. I NEEDED 2 DIFFERENT (AUTHORS AND STORY LINE HAD TO BE DIFFERENT) THRILLERS, 2 DIFFERENT ROMANCE NOVELS, 2 DIFFERENT HORROR AND 2 DIFFERENT YOUNG ADULT AUTHORS AS WELL. AFTER READING IT. AND I REALLY ENJOYED HER CHOICE OF THE BARBIE LIKE BAD A** SHE CREATED. TWO THUMBS UP.

THE OTHER BOOKS JUST BORED ME. I AM QUICKLY FINISHING THIS PROJECT SO I CAN GET THE NEXT BOOK OF HAMILTONS AND READ IT. I LOVE HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL, HER STYLE OF WRITING AND HER IMAGINATION THAT IS INVOLVED. THIS BOOK REMINDS ME OF "INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE" MEETS "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER". I HAPPEN TO STUMBLE ON "THE KILLING DANCE" (UNAWARE IT WAS BOOK 6 OF A SERIES).

Hamilton never disapoints and this book in the Anita Blake series is no exception. Laurell K.

Yes indeed, quite a scene. They're so often guilty. My, my, my, that was quite a scene. It was a nice reminder that as deadly and horrifying and brutal as the vampires and everyone are made out to be, they're a sight less so than good ol' humankind, which is neither one, as the bumpersticker says.

This one had both, but the part I liked best was actually the plot: I liked that the danger Anita faced this time came from humans, rather than from monsters, and that it almost got her, twice. I also thought the final villain showdown was wonderfully well set up; I had no idea it was going to go the way it did, neither the person behind the contract on Anita's life nor the surprise that comes after it, though I suspected the vampire. I just keep getting happier and happier with them. Lot of possibilities there, though I was sorry to see Harley go.

well, "climax" seems both appropriate and highly inappropriate, so we'll go with "resolution," instead. He seemed a promising chap. I'm also intrigued by the possibilities of the triumvirate, especially now that the romantic story has gone where it has. After the scene with Damian, in which yet another newly introduced vamp takes advantage of humans and tries to add an element of cruelty and manipulation to his encounter with a person, I find myself always suspecting the vampires. And may I just say: oh, my. In the last few books, the best part has been the character development and the memorably written scenes usually of gore and horror.

Finally, I can't wait to find out how the promise Anita gives to Edward will play out. I was also gratified to see the explanation of the vampires' fear of necromancers, and the power that Anita has over them; that is an incredibly clever idea of Ms. I was also glad to see the romantic plot come to some kind of. These books are now standouts in my mind not only because they are more entertaining than most other books especially horror books, a traditionally dry genre in my opinion but interesting as well. This one went a different way for me than the last few have, which I think was the author's intention. Hamilton's.
