The Laughing Corpse(Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series #2) by Laurell K. Hamilton

The Laughing Corpse is the second book in the Anita Blake series. It has a good mix of vampires, zombies and voodoo.

The story is semi-entertaining but lacks something, I can't quite put my finger on. I have heard so much hype about how wonderful this series is yet I'm struggling to really get into it.

This novel is much better than the first but the character needs more development and the writing can at times be a bit repetitive which drives me mad. When the story gets rolling, it gets entertaining and makes reading quite enjoyable and fast paced. If you can get through the not so great parts and get onto the really good ones the time you put into reading this novel is worth it.


The last 50 or so pages are exciting!
