Incubus Dreams (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 12) Review
I understand how some readers are frustrated since Anita truly has changed since the Vampire Hunter novels began. I just started reading them a few months back so I haven't had so much time in between readings like others have had to wait for the next book to be released. Maybe from my perspective, reading a book or two (and sometimes three) a month, I can see how each novel links to one another, how she hasn't just changed entirely overnight, and how she still struggles with her inner demons. She is evolving and I am totally hooked. Jean Claude is the same as ever, just opening up more, Richard is slowly but surely coming to his senses, Micah is Anita's rock, and Nathaniel is a little piece of her innocence. Asher and Damian have yet to develop a real place in her life but I'm sure there will come a time for that development. As far as I can see, each of the men in Anita's life represent a small part of her, and if they were all combined into one person, we'd come up with Anita. I think they balance her each in a different way. As for the police work and zombie raising, I still think the stories are solid. While there is less focus on her work, I don't have a problem with that at all. I didn't start reading these novels for dry crime stories, but for a mix of horror, romance, and mystery. I found of this in these books.

Incubus Dreams (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 12) Overview
Anita is pushed to her limits-both professionally and passionately-when she is called in on what appears to be a case involving a vampire serial killer preying on strippers.
Incubus Dreams (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 12) Specifications
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 assistance 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 other 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 pause on page 377 to let the mystery plot resume. The series deftly blends elements of alternate history, horror, romance, erotica, and mystery, but anyone reading Incubus Dreams for the murder plot is going to be frustrated. However, Incubus Dreams is a considerably stronger and more interesting book than its talky predecessor, Cerulean Sins, and fans will enjoy the many new developments in Anita's complicated love life. --Cynthia Ward
