Moth-eaten Plot!

Warning: Obsidian Butterfly was the hardest to read, graphic violence against men, women and especially...

Angry Aztec Gods, Necromancy, and Our Favorite Sociopath
The Anita Blake series started strong in the first book with a preternatural sleuth/zombie raising Christian necromancer (aka Anita). Laurell K. Hamilton created a strong protagonist with a feisty personality and lots of bravado, creating a world for her that mimics our own with the exception that... Read full review »
An excellent read!
Anita Blake comes across some of the most entertaining creatures and Obsidian Butterfly is no different! I am sucked in from the first page, and usually can't put it down until I'm finished. You really feel like you know her characters and she paints such an amazing vivid image of each person so... Read full review »

Something Evil This Way Comes
It seems these days that vampire romance novels are all the rage. If that's indeed the case, then author Laurel K. Hamilton surely got in at the start with her Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. It was the vampire hunter aspect of the novels that originally drew me in to the series. Like a... Read full review »
Obsidian Butterfly
This installment of the Anita Blake series digs deeper into Edward who is a man of mystery. Yes he's an assassin and yes he enjoys killing but that's about all the readers that are familiar with the series knows about him up until this point. So if Edward has had you stumped until now this is you... Read full review »
With Vampires and gods and assassins, it must be an Anita Blake book!
Edward had given me an incendiary grenade for my jacket pocket. It helped balance out the derringer in my right-hand pocket… The derringer had been his idea, too… I wasn't sure I really needed it today, but I'd learned never to argue with Edward when he gave me a weapon. If he thought I... Read full review »

Obsidian Butterfly - Not for the timid, but a spellbinding read...
First, an admission: I am flat-out, no holds barred, hooked on the Anita Blake series, having read and reread each one at least three times. Laurell Hamilton's writing and her characters are THAT good.
I first discovered Anita Blake in 1999 when I picked up a paperback called "Burnt...

Character driven forget about the plot.
I believe that Laurell K. Hamilton writes some of the best vampire fiction available today. Her characters, even minor ones, are consistently multi-layered beings with a great deal of depth. Anita Blake is forced to confront conflict on every level, physical, personal, and internal. This book deals... Read full review »
Ed Exposed
This isn't the first book I've read of the series just the most recent one and it tells you a great deal about Ed's real persona.I must admit in general I hate vampire hunters they look at the vamps and other monsters as dark thing worthy of death. Anita is different somehow I don't know if it's... Read full review »
Anita Blake in Obsidian Butterfly...
This is the first novel I have read by Laurell Hamilton. I found this novel in a new science fiction book club I just joined. The book, which is actually part of a series, which begins with the book entitled Guilty Pleasures. Since I have not read any of the other books in the series, I do not... Read full review »
Vamps and Tramps
Far from winning the Nobel prize, Obsidian Butterfly is dense with details and suspense, making it readable despite slow pacing.
Anita Blake, vampire executioner and necromancer, is assisting a murder case as an expert. The first 100 or so pages contain a lot of Anita's fussing over her...

Obsidian Butterfly
I loved this book! It was filled with all the elements that make all of the Anita Blake books so entertaining. This book strayed from the sexual genre that Hamilton has been known to include, but because of the strength of the characters it was not lacking. The book explored Edwards character and...

Obsidian Butterfly - Anita's So Bad
I have read every book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. You might consider me a die-hard fan because I snapped up one book right after another, reading them cover to cover, not touching any other literature until I was finished with the series. So as a die-hard fan I feel bad that I must... Read full review »
