Review: Kiss the Dead

Kiss the Dead by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At last we have a different topic from the Mother Of All Darkness. I feel as though that particular story arc was dragged out a bit to much. I think that it will be a good thing to finally start having some different story lines that can perhaps take the series back to its roots.

There is a missing 15 year old girl that has been taken by a group of vampires, that when turned, were even very young or fairly old; none of which have a master to control them. during the hunt 2 cops are killed and it all really hits the fan from there. Meanwhile in Anita's personal life, everyone has finally had enough of Asher's attitude and jealously and tough choices have to be made for the sake of everyone's long term happiness.

Pretty much all of the main characters were back for this book, except for Richard. It was interesting to see how drastically Anita's relationship with Larry has changed, kind of makes me wonder what went wrong. I hope this is explored in a future book, otherwise it seems to have come out of no where.

The edition of this book had the bonus chapter Beauty (previously only available as an e-short) included. If you don't get to read it, you won't be missing anything. Don't even bother downloading it, you would just be wasting money. It goes a bit like this: Anita+Jean-Claude+Asher+Bath tub=sex. You're really not missing anything by not reading it.
