Definitely a quick read compared to the last novel. Kind of felt a little pointless and I don't think I would have missed anything by not reading it.
Very short novel that left me wanting more Antia Blake straight away!!
While I did like this book, I think of it more as filler than an actual entry into the Anita Blake series. It's a lot like Micah was--focusing on one story and no subplot. I'm curious to see if any of the events from this story make it into the next full-length Anita book.
For those hoping to see more of Anita's necromancy, you will see that here. I don't want to say more just yet, but there were a couple of plot points involving Anita's character development that disappointed me.
This book also contains an afterward describing the event that inspired Flirt and an acompanying comic strip. Quite strange.
Very curious to see what others think.

So I am re-reading the Anita Blake series from start to finish and I am enjoying it a lot more than the first time.
This could be due to a couple of reasons. 1) I am a lot older than I was when I was younger so I understand a lot more of the undertones and the feelings Anita goes through with all her new powers and what they mean. 2) I know who stays and who goes and a lot of them I stick with. 3) My dislike for Richard is still justified. 4) Micah and Jean-Claude are as dreamy as I remember. 5) Nicky has come in and I like him.
Either way I am falling back in love (lust) with the Anita Blake world. I enjoy the characters and get to enjoy their journeys again. I will admit though, my younger self has great taste as I still like Micah and Jean-Claude. Asher and Richard are my least favs. I will admit I am slowly finding Nathaniel maniplative and although he love Micah and Anita... It bugs me.
I enjoy the crime/Marshall side of the stories and am glade Anita shows that its important to her and makes her who it is.

When I picked up the audiobook and saw it was only 4 CDs, I thought certainly there had been a mistake.
Nope, it's that short.
Flirt was a lot of the same stuff from previous books. I feel like Anita has hit a sort of wall with character development and instead has decided to widen her pool of men instead. Honestly, I felt like the only reason for this book, was so Anita could have sex with a new man.
I will say, however, that it was great to see Anita get back to her roots and dabble in necromancy again. I only wish that had been a bigger part of the novel and not just a blip at the end.

I found this book quite enjoyable. One of the things that has recently started to bug me about the Anita books is the over saturation of sex. It has been bordering overboard, just filler. That's not quite accurate, though because the love Laurelle puts into her writing, her spirit is poured into these sequences of the story, and many of them are important parts of the story for her character's development, and for plot. It is just that there is more to Anita than her hungers, than the men she sleeps with. When every few paragraphs Anita starts licking someone the rest of who she is gets lost somewhere in the discarded clothing.
I enjoyed this story more because it was more old school Anita, she actually got to go to work in this story...of course she didn't get to accomplish much, but hey I'll take what I can get. This story is very fast paced and kept me interested in that action thriller sort of way. Laurelle introduces a couple new characters that I'm sure we'll be seeing more of, and allows Anita to tap into her continually growing powers to get her out of the sticky situation she got into.
It was a rather short read but, I think that's because it didn't have ten chapters of romance in it. It didn't have room for all that either. This wasn't a romance novel it was a sexy action fantasy thriller just like they used to be.
I just wish they all could be like that, because what I love about Anita isn't how many hot guys she's got in her bed, it's her guns, knives, attitude, power, and honor. I love the Anita that works with the police and wont stop until she solves the case. I love the Anita that out smarts ancient vampires and pisses them off with her cynical sarcasm. I love Anita Blake:Vampire Hunter...and I often miss her, too.
