Bloody Bones is the fifth novel in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. It is the most entertaining one yet. Full of action, suspense and sexual tension. It is non stop, page turning action that makes you want to keep reading even when life tells you to put the book down and get back to work.
This book was the best yet, however I did find some of the supernatural elements confusing. In this book, Anita comes up against fairies, in addition to the vampires. Not much time is taken to explain how things work in the world of fey. It could be that because supernatural and sci-fi are not my typical genre, I find it confusing. But the action is good enough that I look past the confusing parts, suspend reality and trust Hamilton and Anita. They do not ever fail or disappoint.
If you are willing to suspend disbelief, give the author some slack and let her lead you, she takes you places you could not imagine in your worst nightmares. But she doesn't scare you the way Stephen King or Dean Koontz can. She just entertains, and most of the good guys win in her books. I am eagerly awaiting where she will take me in the next book, The Killing Dance.
Happy Reading!
