I started this novel, because of how many references there were to the Anita Blake series, in the reviews of the novels that I had read. It was unreal the number of comparisons to the Anita Blake series. So, I decided to give it a shot. I have not regretted it. I love the plot, the characters, and the dark aspects that appear in all parts of the novel. I only just recently started the fourth novel in the series and Hamilton continues to stay true to the characters and the overall feel of this series.
Anita Blake is a kick- ass tough woman. She is the main character of the series and everyone seems to want something from her. In this novel, two vampires want something from her. Jean- Claude, one of the vampires, wants to use her to survive, to gain power, and he even has a love- interest in her. There is not much interaction between these two characters in this novel, but Jean- Claude seems relentless in his pursuit of Anita. Jean- Claude is a rather interesting character, and I hope that in the future novels there will be more about him. The other vampire is the reigning master vampire in the city. He wants her to solve the cases of the vampires that were murdered. Anita is very much a take action kind of character. She rebels against being told what to do, especially by vampires. Anita is prejudice against vampires, and it was very interesting reading about her interaction with the vampires.
The novel is a thriller. Guilty Pleasures is a well written novel. Hamilton created such a dark intriguing world and series. It has action, violence, friendship, the beginnings of a romance and a murder mystery. I would definitely recommend this novel.
