Incubus Dreams - Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Bk 12
Author: Laurell K. Hamilton
As consultant to the Regional Preternatural Crime Investigation Unit, Anita's called in on what appears to be a case involving a serial killer - a vampire serial killer - who may be preying on strippers. She's sure that none of the local vamps are responsible - but her judgment may be clouded by a conflict of interest. For she is, after all, the...  more »

Anita Blake Vampire executioner used to be a very moral person and the heat between her and the guys she likes was great; but now she screws anything and everyone. Love scenes are very graphic and take chapters and chapters and by the time you finish with one you get a little snippit of a plot and its back into the bedroom. This series has degenerated from being novels to borderline soft porn.

If you are looking for the combination horror-mystery-romance, action/adventure book that was typical of the pre-"Narcissus In Chains" books of this series, you're going to be sadly disappointed. Up until page 385, there's only 10 - count 'em 10 - pages devoted to the crime that is highlighted on the book jacket blurb. The rest of the pages are devoted to Anita agonizing about her various relationships and having intercourse or near-intercourse with five (or was it seven - I'm already losing track of them) different characters. And, let's not forget the metaphysical rolling beasts - what would an Anita Blake book now be without them? Forget that the whole concept still doesn't make any sense. With the exception of the ardeur, none of the plot threads left hanging at the end of Cerulean Sins have been picked up. The Mother of Darkness is non-existent, the vampire children are nowhere to be found, Belle Morte has apparently lost interest in Anita, etc.

Book 12 in the series, very typical of what the series morphed into in the later books. Light on detecting and crime, heavy on relationships and angst.

Devout followers of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake saga who think that they have the sexy vampire executioner finally figured out are in for a big surprise in Incubus Dreams, the 12th -- and steamiest! -- installment in the wildly popular series.
Already metaphysically connected to master vampire Jean-Claude and to Richard, the Ulric of the St. Louis werewolf pack, Anita finds herself in another supernatural triumvirate, this one with the seductive, shape-shifting stripper Nathaniel and the beautiful bloodsucker Damian. With so many preternatural bonds, Anita finds herself struggling to come to grips with the potentially deadly disadvantages -- and the mind-blowing benefits -- of the complicated arrangement. As Anita is just beginning to understand how to utilize her newfound powers, a series of brutal strip club murders forces her to come face to face with her most terrifying foe to date: her own conscience.

The focus turns from Richard and Jean Claude to Anita's were lovers Nathaniel and Micah. These two are endearing characters, and in this episode Anita really starts to understand Nathaniel's darker past. It's a very steamy read, but also a little sad because part of you wants to say "what about Jean Claude"?

I'm not even done with this book yet and it is my least favorite. I have maybe 100 or so pages yet and there is nothing but SEX in this book, it's pretty much straight up porn. I don't mind it but I've forgotton what the plot of the book is and I don't like that. I will continue reading the series but this book kinda stinks. Usually I finish my Anita Blake books in 2 to 3 days but this has taken me 2 weeks to finish.

I read the first 100 pages and am already sick to death of this book. If she isn't horny she is dying to eat someone alive or suck all their blood out.

sorry but the sex is getting old and its not even sex its Anita thinking about it constantly.

Oooh a dead body, wonder what (insert name here) is doing and if they are horny?

While I LOVE this series, this was my least favorite. Hamilton writes great steamy sex scenes, but in each book Anita Blake crosses more and more of her "lines" with regard to sex. This book was pretty much of a non-stop sex-a-thon, though. There was so much sex I kept forgetting what crime she was trying to solve. Not a lotta plot in this one. I can't believe I'm complaining about too many sex scenes, but it's a long book and it really needed more plot time. I did enjoy it and had a hard time putting it down though. I love this series and have the next couple volumes ready to read!
