Product Description
Jason Schuyler is a werewolf. He’s also one of Anita Blake’s best friends, and sometimes her lover. And right now he needs her – not to be a vampire hunter, or a federal marshal, or a necromancer, or even for her rank in the werewolf pack, but because his father is dying. He needs Anita because she’s a pretty woman who loves him, who can make him look like an everyday guy, who agrees to go home with him and help him say good-bye to the abusive father he never loved. The fact that Jason is about as much an everyday guy as Anita is a pretty woman is something they figure they can keep under wraps for a couple of days in a small town. How hard can that be?
Really, by now, Anita Blake should know better.
Marmee Noir, ancient mother of all vampires, picks this weekend to make a move. Somehow she has cut the connection that binds Anita and Jean-Claude, leaving Jean-Claude unable to sense what is happening. Dangerous even as she sleeps, buried in darkness for a thousand years somewhere beneath the old country of Europe, Marmee Noir reaches out toward power. She has attacked Anita before, but never like this. In Anita she senses what she needs to make her enemies tremble…

 Waste of money, trashy, etc... January 8, 2009

If I could, I would give Blood Noir zero stars. This book is horrible. I agree with some of the other postings that this book isn't even work the paper or ink it is printed on. The sex was too much and disgusting. This is the first Laurel K. Hamilton book I have read and will certainly be the last.

Blood Noir was very thin on plot. I regret purchasing this book. The Anita Blake series has been going downhill since NIC. I won't bother going in depth on how much this book sucked since everyone did so much more eloquently than I ever could. I had completely given up hope that this series would get back on track and the only reason I read BN was to see how bad LKH's writing can get. Everytime I think she can't possibly get any worse she always does. I will never buy another LKH book.

I will just keep it short, they could just as well have just called it "Anita Does Everybody" and shelved it under porn. God I miss the series I started reading, I am gonna cancel my pre-order of the next book. I only got about 25% through this one before I gave up! This series has been dead for a long time.
Where in the world is Anita Blake January 4, 2009

What happened to the Anita Blake we all knew and loved? What happened to the other characters who are not recognizable anymore? I got bored with the series after Blue Moon. Too much mindless sex and not enough plot. Sexual tension is fine, but for Pete's sake give it a rest and give us back the old Anita. Anita seems to be "on her back" enough times to make Xaviera Hollander proud. I'm really not sure how she manages to have time to save the day. I can't get through a Laurel K. Hamilton book these days without lots of eye rolling, several "Oh, you've got to be kidding me's" and many, many "What, agains?".
If you are into orgies every second page and worthless plots that go nowhere, then these last 8 books are for you. Me? I'd rather take a beating with a hardback copy of War and Peace.

It's so sad when a talented author writes such a worthless piece of crap.
Apparently Hamilton's head has grown so big that she thinks she can get away with printing garbage.
I've been a loyal reader of hers for years & I don't like the changes in her writing. I've noticed the decline in her last couple of books. She's become careless & lazy. Very, very lazy.
I assume that she's become like many other celebrities where it all comes down to money & an overly inflated ego. Well whatever the reasons for her lackluster writing these days, she has lost one loyal fan. Me.
