Burnt Offerings – Part 1

As I mentioned a few months ago, I am reading the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton, which starts with Guilty Pleasures. Onto book 7: Burnt Offerings! I’m reading about 175 pages a week. Each week, I’ll be bringing you two posts: a review of the book and a related kinky post. This is my review of the book post!


Description from Goodreads: “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 the the Executioner to save them from the inferno…


#7 Burnt Offerings Part 1 (Ch 1-27)

Non-spoilery Review:

It’s interesting, breaking this book in half, that the beginning and the middle have nothing to do with each other. The opening scene has barely been mentioned in the subsequent 175 pages. But I’m still interested in it, and there has been a lot of plot happening and character development that I’m definitely interested in seeing where it’s going!


Here is the link to my very rough notes about this part of the book, including notes on characters and plot. It’s mostly for me, but if you had read it in the past and just need a refresher, it would suffice, though it doesn’t read nicely!


Hope you enjoy this foray into the world of Anita Blake! What else are you reading? Come back later this week for some kinky musings!
