Anita Blake: Guilty Pleasures
I'm trying to read LKH's first Anita Blake book, Guilty Pleasures. Trying. On the third page, Anita mentions that vampires have just gotten certain rights. And one of the problems is, if someone you inherited money from becomes a vampire, do you get to keep their inheritance, because technically they are dead. And "was it murder to slay a vampire"?
Vampires have always existed openly in Anitaland. Always. Openly. And people are just now starting with this stuff?!
Oh and also this guy Willie is giving Anita a tongue bath. He's coming to her for help, even though she isn't a private investigator, because she knows oh so much about vampires and no one else can possibly compare. He also notices she's quicker than any human could be on the fourth page.
The entire first chapter is a man trying to talk Anita into doing something she doesn't want to do. Also: Anita has lots of guns, and tells us she knows how to use them. No, really? You have a lot of guns that you can actually use? Wow, how unusual! Most people with lots of guns think they are for potting plants.
In chapter 2, there is this line: "Catherine was a good friend, a name I knew" (7).
You know the name of a good friend? What are the odds?
That's as far as I've gotten. My husband managed to read the whole thing, and he told me what happens in it. I don't know if I'll be getting any farther. Because this is bad.
