Burnt Offerings by Laurell K. Hamilton
5.0
Again this was another good book in the Anita Blake series, however, I found this story to have a slightly different feel then the rest of the books. Definitely not a bad thing though! What I've really enjoyed in this series is how the characters seems to develop over time after different events have happened. Anita's values have changed since book one based on the events that occurred which is nice to see because it gives the stories an element of reality, even though it deals with vampires and other cool creatures.
The vampire council comes into town and causes quite a stir for Jean-Claude and his vampires. They seem to have one purpose and one purpose only, kill him and Anita, since they were responsible for killing a council member in an earlier book. Asher, a new character comes into play and helps provide some more back story for Jean-Claude. I found this particular story line fascinating and I'm hoping to find out more about in up and coming books. It looks like Jean-Claude has been "marked" or tied to other before which intrigues Anita. Richard also comes into play. His hatefulness towards Anita for how thing turned out makes part of the story really annoying (not in a bad way). It causes your view of Richard and the situation that happened with him and Anita to change.
Throughout the book, Anita learns new powers and goes up against the vampire council with force, but honestly who expects less from her :)
