Representaion In Favor Of Books Skin Trade (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #17)
Once you tell someone certain things, like, say, you got mailed a human head in a box, they tend to think you're crazy. Anita Blake's reputation has taken some hits. Not on the work front, where she has the highest kill count of all the legal vampire executioners in the country, but on the personal front. No one seems to trust a woman who sleeps with the monsters. Still, when a vampire serial killer sends her a head from Las Vegas, Anita has to warn Sin City's local authorities what they're dealing with. Only it's worse than she thought. Several officers and one executioner have been slain - paranormal style... Anita heads to Las Vegas, where she's joined by three other federal marshals, including the ruthless Edward hiding behind his mild-mannered persona. It's a good thing Edward always has her back, because, when she gets close to the bodies, Anita senses "tiger" too strongly to ignore it. The were-tigers are very powerful in Las Vegas, which means the odds of her rubbing someone important the wrong way just got a lot higher...Particularize Books Toward Skin Trade (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #17)

I swore I wasn't going to read any more of these, but I gave in and bought the Kindle version, since I definitely can't justify the shelf space for the actual hardcover books in this series anymore. First, the good stuff: relative to the last couple of books, anyway, this book actually had a PLOT, i.e., a mystery for Anita to solve. And as a result, she didn't actually have sex with anyone for at least the first half of the book, which means that some other stuff actually happened outside of theHurray for a plot! AND we have a return to police work, yay! Skin Trade wasn't perfect but I'm happier now that Hamilton is cleaning up her act (as is Anita).
I'm pretty sure I read this book, but I have no memory of it lol. This book was like one giant tease. I thought for one shining moment that we were getting the Anita of old. The police working, zombie raising, non-sexing Anita. But alas, that only lasted for about half of the book. I am trash for this series. I can't help it. And part of me wonders if it's because I keep waiting for things to get back to what made the series good. So what did I like?- the police work. We got to see Anita solving
This is the seventeenth installment in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. It follows Anita, Edward and Olaf as they track their latest vampire threat. When a very unwanted package is mailed to her office, the hunt for its sender becomes personal. Naturally with Anita, she takes the flight out to Las Vegas to track him down. What awaits her there isnt just a body count. She realizes the sender is making it very personal...Starting by murdering a fellow Federal Marshall.Cat and mouse games
*shrug*Things I liked about this book: Edward. All the Edward. He remains fantastic. It was also nice seeing Anita actually out working on a murder case for once. How quaint. Also: I quite like Las Vegas, so it was fun seeing the characters run around in Sin City.Things that drove me nuts: Lack of editing, weird pacing, and repetition plague this book. Hearing the same phrases over and over again to the point where I wanted to start a drinking game. Also, you can't have a character insist,
I liked it okay, but this book gives me mixed feelings, because the first eight books in the Anita Blake series were brilliant--and this was another half-loaf offering, I'm sorry to say. I really wanted to love this book as I'm invested in this series and these characters. Instead, it's a lukewarm reaction. In "Skin Trade," the author has backed away from nothing but sex for plot progression...yet the book is still plagued with the same problems that beset her more recent offerings: not enough
Rating: 1.5 starsAnita Blake and her group of merry men are back again for more adventures in their alternative-world US of America.This time, Anita receives a human head in the mail. It seems an old foe, Vittorio the vampire is back to wreck havoc, this time in Las Vegas. So, Anita has to go to Nevada to give chase. US Marshals Bernardo, Edward and Olaf go with her.The 17th Anita Blake book was eerily reminiscent of "Obsidian Butterfly" (book 9 in the series) in a few aspects: Anita Blake
