Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Anita is pushed to her limits-both professionally and passionately-when she is called in on what appears to be a case involving a vampire serial killer preying on strippers.

Amazon.com Review:
As Incubus Dreams opens, Anita Blake may be America's most powerful vampire hunter and necromancer. So it's no surprise that the Regional Preternatural Crime Investigation Team seeks her assistance when a St. Louis stripper is murdered and the evidence points to unusual serial killers: a group of seven vampires. It appears a master vampire has gone rogue--and may prove too powerful for Anita Blake, even if she can gain help from not only her vampire consort, Master of the City Jean-Claude, but from the wereleopard king Micah, her other lover, and the alpha werewolf Richard, her bitter ex-lover.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Laurell K. Hamilton's Incubus Dreams is just one sex scene after another. This twelth novel in her bestselling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series presents a wedding, a murder, and a lot of relationship angst before getting down and dirty on page 89; and the sex scenes pause on page 377 to let the mystery plot resume. The series deftly blends elements of alternate history, horror, romance, erotica, and mystery, but anyone reading Incubus Dreams for the murder plot is going to be frustrated. However, Incubus Dreams is a considerably stronger and more interesting book than its talky predecessor, Cerulean Sins, and fans will enjoy the many new developments in Anita's complicated love life. --Cynthia Ward

- awful simly awful
I'm sorry, this novel was just horrible. I ended up skipping PAGES because it was so boring, redundant, or just dumb...

I definitely would never recommend this book. The writing is bland, confusing and all over the place. The characters seem to have no personality or chemistry. All Anita thinks about it sex, sex, sex. An all around waste of time.

- A little too much sex in this book
This is the 12th book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. It is now October, so only a month or so has passed since the conclusion of the last book, Cerulean Sins.

Hamilton has received a lot of criticism from some fans for the direction her series takes (the ardeur/sex plotline) and away from the earlier books of crime-solving detective and vampire executioner (Anita is known as The Executioner, capital "E".LOL). I think it was inevitable the series would take a turn and change. For a character to remain static and unchanging, for the plot scenario to be the same for every book, that just gets boring (for instance, a series that I view in this light is Sue Grafton's Alphabet series where the heroine Kinsey has not changed in personality and she does the same thing over and over in each book). If Hamilton had kept to the old Anita and the earlier books, I'm sure there would have been complaints ... Read More

- (3.5 stars) A bit much, but still deserves a tip of the hat
This one was good, but not as good as the other books in the series so far. I liked the new development of the second triumvirate with Nathaniel and Damian (Though I admit I got annoyed that the publishers misspelled the word "triumvirate" throughout; you'd think that they'd put a little time and effort into editing a novel from an author as successful and prominent as Hamilton), and I like the new character Requiem, and I like the added complications of the London vampires losing their master and the arrival of Wicked and Truth and the flaws in Malcolm's Church of Eternal Life and the mysterious vampire villain, scarred worse than Asher, and the increase in power of the original triumvirate. All of those were interesting, and they all made me want to read the rest of the books immediately, right now, so I can find out what happens -- except I know Hamilton's still writing these books, so there's no way for me to learn ...

- Is this the same series???
After reading all these reviews, I though it was a mistake... the book couldn't be THAT bad!

well, I was wrong. What happened to the plot... suspense... the wonder? The only thing I was left wondering is who is left that Anita can have sex with?

I felt the need to read it because I've every other book in the series, so I guess you can read it if you want to waste your time. But please don't spend money on it...

EVERY situation Anita was in she had sex... maybe not "American" sex, but it's sex. And I don't mean ohhh sexy erotica sex, I mean I'm uncomfortable reading this sex. I think 95-98% of the situations Anita was in ended in some sort of sex/feeding. NOTHING could be simple... walking down the street was complicated. Having sex was complicated! Who, what, where, when, how, what does it mean... what does it means!?!? I wanted to rip pages out!!!

Please, Ms. Hamilton, ... Read More
