Burnt Offerings (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #7)

by Laurell K. Hamilton

'You can't trust anyone who sleeps with the monsters.' That's what I've always said. That's what I've always believed. But now I'm the one sharing a bed with the Master Vampire of the City. Me, Anita Blake. The woman the vampires call The Executioner. From part of the solution, I've become part of the problem. So it hits close to home when an arsonist begins to target vampire-owned businesses all over town - an arsonist who seems to want to destroy more than just property. It's the monsters who are in danger now. And it's up to the Executioner to save them from the inferno ...Look out for more information on this and other titles on the Orbit website at www.orbitbooks.co.uk.

The super scary vampires were great but did Anita go through a total personality change or was it just me? All of a sudden sex is no big deal to her, she's wearing fancy dresses, and the monsters she used to hate are her best friends. It would be fine if that's how she always was but it's the complete opposite of how she was in the first books. Also the time frame seemed a little weird. It felt like she's been dating for a couple months yet other characters injuries have only been there for days? It seemed weird.

I'm glad she picked the guy I wanted her to pick but she doesn't even seem sure about that decision. I'm nervous for what's going to happen.

Basically this whole book felt like it was written by a different person. There was way more sex and violence than usual and even the characters all changed. I'm feeling this series less and less.
