Intro to Anita Blake:

Quote:

Overview of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series:

Anita Blake is an Animator and Vampire Slayer. Actually, she is a monster slayer. Though sometimes the monsters are human and even Anita is not sure she is not one of them.

Anita lives in a world very similar to our own. The difference: things that go bump in the night are real. Vampires, magic, zombies, werewolves, shapeshifters all exist and are active. Owning businesses, having love lives and living or unliving their day to day existence.

Anita works for Animators, Inc. She routinely raises zombies for a living. Have a questionable will and died? Anita can raise you for your heirs to find out what you intended. Need to tell someone how you really feel about them but they died first? Anita can bring them back long enough for you to have your say. Anita also works as a consultant for the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team (RPIT), a division of the St. Louis Police force that deals with supernatural crimes.

Of course Anita's boss at Animator's Inc, Bert Vaughn, will farm out his folks for all kinds of things; if the price is right. Though there are some things that even Bert is not willing to do for money. Unfortunately for Anita, some folks don't take NO for an answer.

Don't worry, Anita is a tough lady. She can handle a gun with the best of them. Of course some things even a weapon won't help her with. Like her love life. Too complicated for even her, she is being wooed by the Master of the City, and a Alpha werewolf. Have to be careful not to give away too much here!

Join Anita as she solves mysteries relating to all the scary things in the world. If you enjoy a good mystery, a tough female character with an attitude, spiced with creatures that only exist in the realms of fantasy, Anita Blake is what you have been searching for.

Merry Gentry:

Official Intro:

Quote:

If someone offered you a throne would you accept?
What if it was for the wrong side?

Meredith NicEssus, Princess of the Sidhe courts, should have had a dream life. What little girl doesn't dream of being a princess? Unfortunately for Meredith, she not only has royal, but has lesser Fey and human blood flowing through her veins. A combination that left her as mortal as any human being and weaker than most Fey.

Born into culture with a class structure where such small things as blood lines make a very big difference. A life at court, where politics and petty games of arrogance, cruelty, sadism and the occasional assassination, were regular parts of the daily regime and anyone different was fair game. To save her life, knowing that the Court would view it as a betrayal, Meredith fled for the human city of Los Angeles. Adopting the name Merry Gentry and accepting a job with the Grey Detective Agency as a "magical consultant" she tried to keep her past a secret.

Three years of evading Court searches comes to a crashing halt when Meredith investigates a man using magic against humans. There is no way for Meredith to avoid scrutiny or hold her cover. The Queen of Air and Darkness never forgets and never forgives, even for family. Once discovered Merry must trust those she has no reason too. Expecting to be killed, whether it be quick and merciful or long and slow, Merry comes home. But the Queen wants Merry alive for her own reasons. Just as surely as someone else wants her dead for those very same reasons.

Oh sorry about the duplicate thread! It didn't come up when I went to the Google search

*grumbles about google search*

Do you guys have a favorite between the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry series?

ETA: I merged the threads, so we now just have one!

Stay to the Lights · 03-23-2009, 08:24 PM

As much as i love Anita/JC (They are what keep me reading the series, otherwise it bores me)
So i prefer the MG series!

Gabriela · 03-23-2009, 08:30 PM

I will admit that the thing that interests me most in the Anita Blake series is the A/JC relationship. I haven't read the MG series..maybe I should give it a shot. It'll tide me over until Dreamfever comes out

Stay to the Lights · 03-23-2009, 08:45 PM

Heh yeah, that's kinda why i read it.. the whle Fae thing

Stay to the Lights · 03-24-2009, 04:26 AM

Richard... No, not really

You?

Sierra_H · 03-24-2009, 12:07 PM

I'm scared to read Anita Blake.

Some friends say it's really good but others say it's really, REALLY bad. I've read some parts on the internet and I've got to say... some were okay, but others... there was one scene about a threesome I wasn't really fond of

I guess I'll read them when I go on holiday... I'm always looking for series to take with me so I can read them at the pool or the beach.
