Week 20 Review: Slay

From Goodreads:
Evil continues to terrorize vampire hunter Anita Blake and all those she loves in this gripping new novel by New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton.

The wedding of necromancer Anita Blake to Jean-Claude, the vampire king of America hits the next daunting challenge: her family. And with the malicious force that casts a shadow on St. Louis still lurking and threatening to destroy them all, not only will wedding bells not ring, but there may be no future at all for the vampire hunter…

My Review:
Yeah I really enjoyed reading this book! It's wild that this is book 30 and it's been 30 years since the first book was published. And it's still going strong. And it was fitting, because a part of this book was looking back on how she used to be, of how much she's changed.

This is the book that deals with family, the one that you're born with, and the one that you choose, because her family is in town for wedding fittings. There was one thing about her grandmother that was mentioned and then dropped which I wish could've been explored more, because it was interesting to me! 

One thing that was brought up that was interesting to read, was that it was Jean-Claude, a vampire who feeds on lust and/or love. That if another vampire had been in his place, to feed on something else, like pain or fear, things would've been much worse! 

The threat that this bad guy poses, the guy who was introduced in the previous book, is pretty awful. The affects of what he feeds on, well, it made things interesting. And caused a lot of problems for the good guys but it brought up an interesting situation. But one that they learned from! Loved how it worked out! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait for more! We still have to make it to the wedding!
