Incubus Dreams

Product Description
Anita is pushed to her limits-both well and passionately-when she is called in on what appears to be a case involving a vampire serial killer preying on strippers.Amazon.com Review
As Incubus Dreams opens, Anita Blake may be America’s most powerful vampire hunter and necromancer. So it’s no surprise that the Regional Preternatural Crime Investigation Team seeks her help when a St. Louis stripper is murdered and the evidence points to unusual serial killers: a group of seven vampires. It appears a master vampire has gone rogue–and may prove too powerful for Anita Blake, even if she can gain help from not only her vampire consort, Master of the City Jean-Claude, but from the wereleopard king Micah, her additional lover, and the alpha werewolf Richard, her bitter ex-lover.

It would be an exaggeration to say that Laurell K. Hamilton’s Incubus Dreams is just one sex scene after another. This twelth novel in her bestselling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series presents a wedding, a murder, and a lot of relationship angst before getting down and dirty on page 89; and the sex scenes intermission on page 377 to let the mystery plot resume. The series deftly blends fundamentals of alternate history, horror, romance, erotica, and mystery, but anyone reading Incubus Dreams for the murder plot is going to be frustrated. But, Incubus Dreams is a considerably stronger and more appealing book than its talky predecessor, Cerulean Sins, and fans will delight in the many new developments in Anita’s intricate like life. –Cynthia Ward

But with the help of his allies and his beast magic, he emerges from the grave, deeply scarred in body and soul. The kingdom also teeters toward ruin: Regal has plundered and abandoned the capital, while the rightful heir, Prince Verity, is lost to his mad quest–perhaps to death. Only Verity’s return–or the heir his princess carries–can save the Six Duchies.

But Fitz will not wait. Driven by loss and bitter memories, he undertakes a quest: to kill Regal. The journey casts him into deep waters, as he discovers wild currents of magic within him–currents that will either drown him or make him something more than he was….

Setting: Three Sisters Island, coast of New England, present day

Sensuality rating: 6

Perennial New York Times bestselling leader Nora Roberts’s new Three Sisters Island trilogy is pure magic! No, I mean really magic. An intriguing combination of The Witches of Eastwick and Sleeping With the Enemy, Dance Upon the Air introduces readers to the idyllic town of Three Sisters Island. Reputedly conjured by a trio of sisters seeking to escape the Salem witch-hunts, the island remains a place of silent refuge for one and all, including pretty Nell Channing who arrives in town worried of her own shadow, with few possessions and no past. But the warm, sunny days and cool, windswept nights, as well as the loving concern of new friends–especially hunky sheriff Zack Todd–soon lure skittish Nell into a much-welcome fresh life. Nell’s new boss, the captivatingly lovely bookstore owner Mia Devlin (look for Mia’s tale, hopefully, in the not-too-distant future), wonders from what or whom Nell is running. Mia treats Nell as she would a sister, which isn’t too far off the mark, helping Nell learn and explore her inner resources while Zack’s romantic attentions bring a rosy glow to Nell’s cheeks and to her future. But something wicked this way comes… Will Nell be ready to face and conquer her past? Even with the like and support of Mia, Zack, and Zack’s fellow police officer, his peppery, down-to-planet sister Ripley, Nell has the fight of her life–the fight for her life–on her hands. Roberts continues to delight fans and make new believers with her talent and imagination. –Alison Trinkle
