Our view
“Blood Noir” is a late Anita Blake novel for readers who follow the series for its mix of vampires, werewolves and erotica. Sixteen books in, Laurell K. Hamilton keeps the blend of horror, mystery and explicit sex that marks this stage of the series. Some readers enjoy its action and calmer feel; others miss the hard-edged monster hunter of the early books and find plot threads dropped or rushed. It is strictly for adults.
