 THE HARLEQUIN, for me, redeems the Anita Blake series. Although there's still sex (which in itself has never been a problem for me), the ratio of sex to story has finally turned. There's an actual plot in THE HARLEQUIN, and it's a pretty dang good one.

The Harlequin, what is akin to the vampire police, has come to town -- presumably just to observe. It soon becomes apparent, however, that at least some members of this elite and uber-scary group have harsher things on their mind.

The usual characters are all here, as well as reapperances by Edward (aka Tod Forrester) and the serial killer, Olaf. Peter, the teen who was rescued several stories back, is also there.

Some typical things happen -- Richard (once again) has serious problems with Anita and the ardeur. Some new plot lines develop -- the local lion king refuses to help in a moment of need, and the swan leader comes to the rescue.

Overall, THE HARLEQUIN was a quick, satisfying read that I totally enjoyed. I have renewed faith in the Anita Blake series, and hope that the next book doesn't take away that feeling.

 Enjoyed it but it was also missing a little something, something really dangerous. Anita didn't actually have much interaction with the Harlequin and it more about the threat of danger and the playing with emotions.

didnit was okliked itloved itit was amazing
 A pile of useless drivel, regurgitated "nrt vampir3s sessay" from pop myth. Amazing it's written by a woman, it reads more like a gay man. Hilarious condemnation of monogamy from an author who doesn't do much research
Another total suckpile
