Circus of the Damned by Laurell K. Hamilton



Circus of the Damned is the third book in the Anita Blake series and it builds on the previous novels giving a fuller, deeper and more exciting view into Anita's life.

This book is full of violence, entertainment and excitement. Expect gore and to be at the edge of your seat. The unexpected occurs on several occasion you will be surprised at the outcome.

My own real complaint is that Hamilton takes too much time in describing weapons, which is tiresome to the reader.


Grade: A-



Publisher's Blurb:

And now a darkly dangerous vampire named Alejandro has hit town. He too wants me for his human servant. A war of the undead has begun. Over me.I would be flattered. If my life weren't at stake..." "A rogue master vampire hits town, and Anita gets caught in the middle of an undead turf war. Jean-Claude, the Master Vamp of the city, wants her for his own - but his enemies have other plans. And to make matters worse, Anita takes a hit to the heart when she meets a stunningly handsome junior high science teacher named Richard Zeeman. They're two humans caught in the crossfire-or so Anita thinks.""When a dangerous vampire named Alejandro hits town and claims Anita Blake, an expert on creatures of the night, for his human servant, a war of the undead breaks out and puts Blake's life in jeopardy."
