But the ending line about her killing vampires and not sleeping with them is such a fist pump moment, even if you know that stance won't last for long. She takes too long to figure out who's committing the crimes she's trying to solve and the motives of the Big Bad don't make a lot of sense, which is why it wasn't a five star read for me. She's funny and cool and likeable, while also having obvious flaws and making questionable decisions. It's told in first person, which I usually hate, but Anita has a pretty pleasant mind to visit. This first book is such a good series opener. I read a couple of books and never continued because I've always been bad with continuing series. I got into the Anita Blake series in college, right around when people began to complain about the series growing too smutty and romance heavy and Anita becoming out-of-character.
