What I appreciate about this series is how realistic it is for a paranormal detective series. Anita isn’t all powerful and immune to everything. She’s realistic, honestly afraid most times, and barely manages to scrape by. It definitely gives me a bit of Dresden Files vibes and I appreciate that. I enjoyed that she’s coming forced to come to terms with the situations she’s found herself in with the vampires and that she’s also picked up an apprentice almost. I’m not sure what I want to see happen with her romantically but I think it’ll be interesting. This book was definitely a battle between her fear, morals, and loyalty and I’m not sure where exactly they all fell fit it will be fun to watch the aftermath.

This was such an exhilarating ride. By far my favorite book yet. Non-stop action. Anita Blake, The Executioner, lives up to her name. I love the world building. The book picks up where the last left off and Laurell K. Hamilton just builds layers on the already developed world. I believe you could read this as a stand alone, but you would be missing so much history and character development. And I am still riding Jean-Claude's fan wagon. How could I not??
