Review: Circus of the Damned

Circus of the Damned
Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Another interesting foray into the world of Anita Blake. This one felt a little long, although I can’t really put my finger on the reason for that. It may be me–I tend, when I find an author/series I like, to binge on the books. Which is a good indication that I’m enjoying them, of course. But then they usually get to feel a little same-old same-old to me. Not really the author’s fault, nor the fault of the books themselves–of course we read series because we like the books and the characters and the situations. But perhaps they go down best when we don’t read them in handfuls, like peanuts. :)

That said, I do like Anita Blake. Sometimes I want to tell her to hurry up and deal with problem X or Y, but I’m quite sure she will do so in the future. And she does tend to have a lot to deal with in the present of each book. If you don’t mind the level of gore and like sexy vampires, this is the series for you.
