Cerulean Sins, the eleventh entry in the hugely-popular Anita Blake series, finds everyone’s favorite vampire hunter keeping house and kicking butt. Anita Blake is trying to get her life back to “normal” after a break-up with her werewolf lover. She has settled into a pattern of domesticity, which means that the new man in her life, the leopard shapeshifter Micah, has no problem sharing her with Jean-Claude, Master Vampire of the City. Things are as peaceful as they ever get for someone who raises the dead, when Jean-Claude receives an unexpected and unwelcome visitor: Musette, the very beautiful, very twisted representative of the European Council of Vampires. Anita soon finds herself caught up in a dangerous game of vampire power politics. To add to her troubles, she is asked to consult on a series of brutal killings, which seem to be the work of something un-human. The investigation leads her to Cerulean Sins, a vampire-run establishment that deals in erotic videos, videos that cater to very specific tastes. Anita knows one creature of the night who has such interests — Jean-Claude’s visitor. But if Anita brings Musette down, the repercussions could cost her everything she holds dear. Once a sworn enemy of all monsters, Anita is now the human consort of both Master Vampire Jean Claude and leopard shapeshifter Micah. When a centuries-old vampire hits St. Louis, Anita finds herself needing all the dark forces her passion can muster to save the ones she loves. Anita Blake returns to find hell hath no fury like a vampire scorned.Rating Of Books Cerulean Sins (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #11)

Some Writing Tips for Laurell K. Hamilton:1) Try to limit the phrase "it was as if" to 500 uses or fewer per novel.2) Use pronouns or synonyms to avoid using the same word too many times in the span of 2 sentences.3) It's OK to use a repetitive adjective to denote intensity once in a while, but don't do it multiple times in every book! It has gotten to the point that I wince every time I see it. "Blue, blue eyes" and "white, white walls" and "pale, pale skin" and "black, black hair" gets really,It's hard to believe, but when Anita stopped being celibate in The Killing Dance my reaction was "finally." I thought Hamilton had overdone the sexual tension leading up to that book. Oh, the good old days! When this was a fun series about Anita the necromancer and vampire hunter with her werewolf on the side. I knew it was a bad, bad thing when the ardeur rose up its ugly head in the previous book. In fact, I thought, "no, Hamilton didn't just do that!" but I thought it an aberration that Anita
First read: July 2006Re-read: January 2018Rating: 4/5 starsAs usual there is a lot going on in Anita's world at the start of Cerulean Sins. A representative of Belle Morte's arrives unexpectedly early at Jean-Claude's door. Musette is an evil and devout follower of Belle Morte, and she is out to cause as much trouble as possible for Jean-Claude and Anita. Meanwhile Anita is also called in on two murder cases; one which is set up to look like a ritualistic killing and another which looks like a
"Most people don't find me funny at all." Anita Blake meets a guy in her office. Gasp, shock, horror, she actually accepts his job. She then raises a zombie. Asher arrives to tell her "Surprise! Musette, Belle Morte's cronie, is here!" She rushes to Jean-Claudes to get in a p!ssing match with Musette. Then she has to rush home to feed the ardeur. She argues about who she will have sex with. Asher waffles about having sex. Anita Blake has sex. Anita Blake is summoned to a crime scene, but she is
Vampire games, how fun! In this book we get another sadistic insane vampire coming into town to rape, pillage, and torture, and Jean Claude gets to host her. Anita knows that their pleasant "visit" will turn into a blood bath, but she is trapped by all of the rules of vampire society. If Jean Claude would just let me shoot everyone in Musette's party tonight, it would save a lot of trouble, I just knew it would. Good point, Anita. I knew there was something I liked about you. Killing everyone
I am again disappointed. I don't know what happened to the series after Blue Moon. From a plateau, it went down and fast. I used to love Anita, don't get me wrong I still love the series but I just think that the plot of the series was lost with all erotic scenes and the coming of the ardeur.I have come to the point where I skip all the sexy scenes to where the action is and I am left with only a few pages to read. I mean that's a great degrade to the previous books that the series had. The
It's funny because in rereading this series, I'm realizing how much of Anita I really dislike. But I still love almost all of the surrounding characters and that keeps this series in my top.In the 11th installment, Anita finds herself meeting the in-laws, so to speak. Jean-Claude's maker, Belle Morte, has caught wind of Anita and has decided that she wants to know more, thereby sending a surrogate vampire to scope the scene. This of course doesn't go over well with the group and tension grows.I
