Not a Laughing Matter


Rating: 4/5
Review: I didn't like this one quite as much as the first in the series. I like Anita Blake, as well as her sarcasm, but I am tired of the word "naw". It was not used quite as much in this book, but still used once too many. I like the underlying tension between Anita and Jean Claude, but I'm not sure if I actually want them to get together or not. There were a couple of gruesome scenes in this book that were very tough to read. Anytime the death of children is involved, it makes me quite squeamish. I'll definitely continue with the series, but I'm hoping that there won't be any more little corpses. Eeesh.
Book Description: The novels of New York Times bestselling author Laurell K.

Now, a creature from beyond the grave is tearing a swath of murder through St. Louis. And Anita will learn that there are some secrets better left buried—and some people better off dead...
