He is the wife to her husband. I should get me one of those. I could use a person who likes to clean around here.

I'm so surprised no one has put her up. I see posts referencing Anita Blake just thought it was odd there was no Laurell K Hamilton. I love both her series Anita Blake and Merry Gentry. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have found Kim and then I wouldn't have found Vicki. Same here. LKH was how I found several of my favorite authors. I love the anthologies because you get introduced to new people. I'm on the LKH board and just found Vicki's board today and joined immediately.

I just picked on up first LKH book... hopefully I picked the right one to start on - or does it not really matter what order you read them in?

It definitely matters. The first Anita Blake book is "Guilty Pleasures."

Totally agree. You miss out way too much and you'll get confused. Plus you don't get the gist and the feel of the characters if you don't start with the beginning.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone starts out in the middle of a series or set of books and say they instantly like or dislike certain characters when they don't even know what or how they got the way they are. I just feel you just don't know the character well enough to judge them if you don't start from the beginning.

I just feel you just don't know the character well enough to judge them if you don't start from the beginning. Very good point. But sometimes reading from the beginning I still don't know why someone is the way they are. I read all these book and felt like suddenly a certain character got ruined. (You know who I mean.) Reb, don't click on this... Richard Why oh whyyyyyy?

Actually, Richard is the character who changes the least in the series...from day one he hates the monster in himself, and is looking at Anita for the lost humanity...

I totally agree with you deathkitty I think what's most peoples' problem with Richard was that they hoped he would be Anita's normal stable guy because he wanted the normal life when his life wasn't normal. And Anita is logical and knows that would never happen. Richard is just holding on that hope when he should realize he can't.

Exactly! Richard is the hunky, normal type, not the epitome of sexual charisma like Jean Claude...He's also a tragic character, so the readers want everything to work out for him...unfortunately it's not been in the stars...instead he gets more and more whiney...decidedly anticlimactic...
