When Anita Blake meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there is to know about loss.But what she also knows, though Tony Bennington seems unwilling to be convinced, is that the thing she can do as a necromancer isn't the miracle he thinks he needs.

Not really. And not for long.

Flirt makes it obvious that Hamilton has paid at least some attention to the criticism of this series. But considering that it took me a whole hour to read, this novella (terribly short for the price) is too little and probably too late.Anita's long-neglected career as an animator makes another appearance, and she actually has an adventure that doesn't star half of her boyfriends. Of course that whole "Anita standing on her own" thing was completely undermined by her predictable strategy forThe only reason I gave this booklet 1 star was that I couldn't assign a negative star rating. This pathetic attempt at a novella was so bad it hurt my feelings. The action wasn't so bad, but the dialog was just awful. I understand that the title of the book is "Flirt", but I don't need to be reminded in every paragraph. The Anita Blake world is taken over by an evil power that forces people to use the word "flirt" in every verbal exchange, regardless of how ludicrous it sounds in context. Here's
I have gotten to the point where Anita Blake books do nothing for me. It's because everyone wants to be with her, be like her or kill her. She is all powerful and doesn't need anyone. She's Buffy, but with dark hair. And by the end of the series, I wanted to stake Buffy my own damned self.The one thing that pisses me off the most about Anita Blake though is the sex. I get it, you were raised one way, with those beliefs. But I hate that she's with fifty million lovers, is still a prude and pushes
It's weird, after I read the free excerpt of this book a few weeks ago I actually predicted the plot somewhere on this site. So it was predictable. Oh dear.We got back to zombie raising, necromancy powers and master vampire powers as well as Anita falling back on her coping mechanism of going to the "empty place", the place she goes when she kills. This is good. However, all of the events involving these were cut and paste scenes from previous books. Come to think of it most of this book was
I count Laurell K. Hamiltons Anita Blake series as guilty pleasure reading; not complicated and fun (or on occasion fun to make fun of). Im happy to suspend disbelief as long as theres a decent story arc and fun, interesting characters. To be sure, there are things I find annoying about authors writing style including but not limited to distracting repetition, over-reliance on exposition and argument in lieu of action, ponderous emotional angst about and between the males in Anitas life and her
Yawn . . . yawn . . . yawn.Practically every sentence in this novella stimulated a deja vu experience, not to mention self-doubt. (Why am I reading this? Why? Why? Why?) This was actually refreshing. Some of Anita's actions in this book should have warranted at least a smidgen of self-doubt.I never would have imagined flirting with a waiter in the presence of one of your gorgeous friends could inspire not just a novella, but a retelling of the flirting, and then a comic of the retelling. Maybe
I never thought Id be nostalgic for Micah. Back then, it seemed a little much to charge mass market paperback price for a novella. Enter Flirt: a novella in hardback. This is one case where the format of the book affects the star rating. Flirt would be much more palatable in an anthology, or even as a mass market paperback. At hardback price, I cant recommend it.The early chapters are a mix of the interesting and the tedious. The good parts involve Anita working at her job as an animator,
