She's also a vampire hunter, and in this compilation she is hired by a vampire for his unknown client to investigate some recent killings of vampires. Interesting and multilayered storyline, good artwork and writing. The obvious comparison is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". This is more edgy, less witty, and there are fewer characters, besides Anita, that really resonate with me. ( )Overly rendered and watered down as it lacks the graphic sexuality of Hamilton's books. If you enjoyed Laurell's Guilty Pleasures novel, you will enjoy the graphic novel. Brett Booth illustrates the feisty and hot tempered Anita Blake very well. Seeing Anita and all of her acquaintances come to life and appear in this form is a real treat. I felt like they did a great job of staying true to the characters and the story while making it seem like a whole new story. A faithful adaptation of Laurell K. Hamilton's first Anita Blake novel. The art is great, the story fast-paced and exciting. I look forward to the next installment. I recommend this to teen readers who love horror, manga, and graphic novels. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I cannot wait for there to be more. 0.082 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
