If you've got this far through the Anita Blake series, you can hardly complain or be surprised to discover that 80% of the book is, basically, erotica. The first few chapters start off well, there's an oasis in the middle where Anita is doing her actual job, and the story concludes in the last 10 chapters. The rest of the book deals with Anita's... other side, shall we say. It's as if in each book she needs to "level up" to deal with the new threat, and (as Jean-Claude points out), Belle Morte's line of vampires only have one way to do that... (  ) pauliharman | Nov 12, 2009 |  ElenaGwynne | Jul 2, 2009 | By far my favorite book in the series. This is the book where my view of Anita changed, and where I think she made the most dramatic change in coming to accept her life the way it is now and seeing the things that are good in it, as well as growing up enough to work towards keeping them rather than sabotaging herself and her relationships. (  ) cybermathwitch | Mar 2, 2009 | I thought I was done with Ms. Hamilton for a while, then I realized that I got this for Christmas. Same complaint still applies. Somewhere along the way she started to sacrifice plot for a lot of sex. I miss the plot! Please, tone down the sex and give us some story! (  ) miyurose | Dec 13, 2008 | Really not as good as the earlier books in the series. The plot is almost unrecognizable and unresolved. But I'm still interested to see where Anita will go.

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
