Summary: Vampire? Werewolf? How DOES a girl choose?
Comment: In this third book of the series, Anita Blake is getting stronger as a woman/character. In Circus we see tons of action concerning a giant cobra, a rogue vamp named Alejandro who wants Anita for all the wrong reasons, and of course Jean-Claude who is STILL trying to get her into his bed but at the very least he wants her as his human servant. Anita finds herself, and her "friend" Edward, in a battle for thier lifes, in this book, along with a few new vamps and weres. Will she live? Well now.. thats a silly question! We are talking about Anita here!!
Oh.. Did I mention Richard? Hes the new man in Anitas life. She thinks hes human at first but then the jealous Jean-Claude spills the beans about him being the runner up for Ulfric, King of the Werewolfs, in the city. And we cant forget Larry. Hes Anitas new "sidekick" and she is teaching him the ropes but he is kindof nervous about all the killing and zombie stuff that takes place around Anita. We shall see! :)

Summary: One of the better ones in the series
Comment: Well, Circus of the Damned is one of my favourite books in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. It has great character development and introduces some new and attractive faces that show up quite frequently later in the series. Though because this book is rather early in the series and Ms. Hamilton's writing career, there are some rough spots in the plot and characters that are smoothed out in later books but are apparent in this one. Though the plot is rich and thick with intrigue and mystery, it has holes in it. In the beginning of the book Ms. Hamilton focuses on the investigation of the murders of two persons, and the vampire pack that did it. But once Anita Blake is caught up with Jean Claude and Alejandro and the Lamia, the murder investigation is almost forgotten. It is alluded to that Dolph and RPIT found someone connected to the murders but Ms. Hamilton never really says who did them or why. Another thing I noticed that seems to keep recurring in the Anita Blake series is that once Anita confronts the bad guys, she disposes of them in nothing short of light speed, despite the fact that earlier in the books the bad guys were incrediably powerful and/or old. The author seems to reach a point when she just wants to be done with the book, and the plot suffers. Surprisingly though, none of this really took away from the book. The characters are so interesting and deep and the events that happen are very rich in description that the book is still compelling and a good read. The writing is humourous as always, rich and full of style individual to Ms. Hamilton. Try this book, I've read it numberous times and it only gets better.

Summary: Great escape
Comment: Anita is back and ready to kick-butt. She now is torn between Jean-Claude (no, no, no, I can't because I'm a vampire hunter) Pleeeeze girlfriend, get you some of that! and Richard the super sexy werewolf/all around nice guy. Yeah, Yeah, most people say go for the nice guy, but I say give me some more of that Jean-Claude!
