![]() ![]() Anita and Edward are well aware that some monsters are more real than any of us would care to admit, and they know exactly what they are on the heels of. There is a sadistic serial killer on the loose and local police call in US Marshals Anita Blake and Edward Forrester to track down what they are sure must be a ‘monster’. An extremely powerful weapon if used the right way. Blake’s ardeur is proving to be more about the heart’s desire and the realisation of the deepest truths you manage to hide from the world. Blake has been told that the ardeur, another of the appetites she must keep fed, is about lust but it seems in Blake it is more complex than that. To control and live with the overwhelming sum of shifters she’s carrying Blake gives each of her animals a form in her mind, and a vast plain to inhabit which makes it much easier for us, as readers, to really immerse ourselves in the unique melding of species that is Anita Blake.Īll of these characteristics combine to ensure that even her ardeur and the rest of her hungers behave differently than they have in anyone else. Blake and her harem of hot bodied, and blooded, men manage to be surprised by the extent of her abilities at times as well.Īnita Blake, vampire hunter, is an exercise in impossibilities! A shifter who doesn’t shift and carries numerous, sometimes seemingly innumerable, strains of lycanthropy and a vampire. It isn’t just the Mother of All Darkness and her preternatural band of those who can’t be named that have underestimated Blake’s abilities. If that was the case then the bond Blake shares with the men in her life was dangerously underestimated, along with the abilities she has picked up throughout the roller coaster ride that has been her life since becoming “The Executioner”. Is it all just an elaborate plan to get Blake away from the comforts of home and alone? To get her alone and make her vulnerable? All of which are traceable back to the Mother of All Darkness and the band of super fast, super strong preternatural creatures she commands. ‘Hit List’ begins with Blake in Seattle at the scene of a grisly murder, the latest in a string of connected murders. Actually, come to think of it, not quite where we left off. ‘Hit List’ takes us straight back into Anita Blake’s hectic life and picks up right where she left us at the end of ‘Bullet’.
