Editor's Notes and Comments:
Amazon.com:
Anita Blake makes a living raising the dead. She also executes rogue vampires and villains among the local were-folk. Marks bind her to Jean-Claude, the Master vampire of St. Louis and her lover, and to her ex-fiancé, a powerful werewolf who heads up the local pack. Anita shares some of their magic, and her own power over the dead keeps growing. But so does the body count and the situations that force Anita to bend or break her own rules.
In Blue Moon, Anita's ex Richard is jailed in Tennessee, accused of rape. When Anita arrives with a lawyer and an entourage of vampires and 'weres' supplied by Jean-Claude, it's clear that something is rotten in Myerton. The local cops are corrupt, and the trolls Richard was studying are threatened. But if she sticks around to investigate, the local Master vampire will attack her and her friends. The local werewolf clan isn't rushing to welcome her either, and her self-control is going to the, um, wolves.
Blue Moon is the eighth book in Hamilton's Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series; newcomers should start with earlier books. The protagonists' development and their relationships to each other and to the large cast of continuing secondary characters are what make these books so compelling. Be warned--there's steamy sex and graphic violence here, though Anita does reflect on her moral position. But if dark urban fantasy featuring those who hunt the night appeals, pounce on this series. --Nona Vero
Brief Book Summary:
'Richard was an alpha werewolf. It was his only serious flaw. We'd broken up after I'd seen him eat somebody.' Still, you never forget your ex-fiancé. And when Richard calls Anita Blake at three in the morning, she knows it won't be good news. It seems Richard had gotten himself thrown in jail on a rape charge. But Anita knows that though he is a monster, Richard's no rapist. And it's up to her to prove his innocence--before the blue moon creates even bigger problems for Richard...

Blue Moon is my 5th anita blake novel. i think she is a unique and wonderful character...but. This book starts with anita in a sexual quandry over her vampire and werewolf lovers and somehow manages to work a story about rescueing Richard in there somewhere.
I guess i am wanting less time describing how some mans hair looks and what colour it is and how his silk pants hug his manhood and more time spent on the actual story. i love laurel hamilton and her writing and her characters . It seems to me that too much time is spent on the sex and sexual stuff than on what anita is up to.
I would like maybe 300 pages of story and 100 pages of description of wolfen emotions and satin shirts.
It seems repetitous on the story also. seems anita gathers a group of vamps and werepersons and has trouble relating to them, runs into bad guys, fights, then a big shoot out scene. sure it is different people but still same story line.
laurel hamilton sure does not need me to tell her how to write but she creates such unique and real characters that i would like more about what they do rather than feel.
I will continue to read anita stories but i have the feeling she is headed for disaster and maybe the best thing would be to "kill every one" and start over with just anita.

I'm sad because this series was great in its very first two books. Now the series is nothing better than badly written porn. The characters are uninteresting. Those that are featured are either one-dimentional or completely unappealing. The reason for the decline is the fact that the author apparently projects too much of her personal life onto Anita Blake, thus the dropping of Jean Claude for Richard after the author's divorce.
If you're into rotting-vampires raping shapeshifters, this book is for you. And you should be locked up.
This series has devolved into a pornographic soap opera. 1 star.

Well I still like the story and the plotlines. The scenes are well written, full of passion and yeah a lot of imagination. The ennemies are also very thourough and well presented but...
Well the characters are starting to bore me... Anita is becoming this Alucard from the anime series hELLSING. (for those who don't know, he's invincible AT ALL TIMES)
She's losing her persona. She just always seems to be stronger than the enemy...I know she should evolve but she does it too fast and too good.
She has this honnesty streak which I like, this sense of morality which is twisted but it's just well she's becoming unnaturally strong and a bit predictable...(maybe more than a bit) Well i still have a few more to go before making this my final conclusion.
Last but not least there is the overwhelming sex... the moralizing and then the sex again... she seems to grow in force but to schrink in persona
PS the bad guys are also the kind of grey and white bad guy... no in between.
And her french is poorly researched and not good. bonheur means happiness and is not the same as good luck which is Bonne chance en français. Et je peux vous dire qu'il y a plein d'erreurs comme ça et ça m'énerve

Having read most of Ms. Hamilton's books, and finding them light and entertaining, Blue Moon surprized the heck out of me. It really delivered in the romance/erotica arena as well as delivering some pretty deep spiritual insights. I found myself intrigued not only with the story (which I couldn't put down - even reading at stop signs and blue lights) (I know - shame on me) but with the authoress herself. Insightful and downright lascivious!

This is the eighth book in the "Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter" series. From the start, this has not been a "G" rated series; the very first book might be considered "R" for violence, "PG13" for sexual content. The violence never wavers, but the sexual content has been getting gradually more graphic as the series progresses. In this book, the progression stops being gradual.
Many people consider this deeply disappointing and a serious complaint against this book and the subsequent books in the series; starting with this book, the sexual content is no longer "PG13" tending toward "R"; if it isn't past "R" and into the "X" realm, it's certainly tending that way. If you don't want something with sufficiently explicit sex scenes to be at the very least soft-core pornography, this is probably not the book for you. On the other hand, if you can accept the heavy-duty sex as part and parcel of where the series, and the character-development therein, is heading (a major subplot throughout the series has been Anita's gradually being forced by circumstances beyond her control to sacrifice more and more of the things that she thought were her defining morality, and to accept that what defines her morality is in fact somewhat more subjective than she would at very first have liked to think) you will probably find this book interesting. And if, like me, you actually enjoy a few well-written graphic sex scenes, you will probably love it.
