The Harlequin by Laurell K Hamilton

     The Harlequin. Book 15 of the Anita Blake series I have to admit, really was not one of my favorites. Although, it was a very good book, but for some reason, the men in her life are becoming more and more like annoying women. "You don't spend enough time with me", "I want this . . . I want that". Stuff that usually drives a man crazy, now I know why it drives them nuts.
     Anyways, getting off track. The Harlequin is about these vampires that Marmee Noir created for her to be like "watchmen". If a clan of vampires get out of hand, the Harlequin will let them know.
     Well, on a date with Nathanial (uhm, a male stripper who has hair down to his ankles, and lavender eyes. A body to die for. S & M. Sorry, again, getting off topic), Anita receives a package in a movie theater bathroom, with a white mask. Thinking it's from Nathanial, but finding out from Jean-Claude, the Harlequin are keeping their eyes on them considering it is white, they are being observed. Stuff hits the fan, the Harlequin hits their town, and both the Harlequin and Anita's group are staying with their laws, which clashes with the others. Which is a basic lose-lose situation for the both.
     I am really trying not to give too much away, because like I have said before, there is a lot that goes on in these books. Long story short, a lot of stuff goes down, and she depends on her faithful partner Edward, who brings along not only his stepson but also a sadistic man who has a record of tearing women apart that has a specific profile. A profile that looks like Anita.
     I think I have to stop here. If I go on any further I will give stuff away and I am not that type of person.
     There are fight scenes, crazy sex, female-like companions, hot men, the list goes on for what a women can look for in her books.
    
     If you would like more information on her other books, along with her Marry Gentry books you can follow her on Twitter, like her Facebook page, and even take a look at her website and check out some of her graphic novels (that are based on the Anita Blake series).
