Laurell K. Hamilton: Anita Blake #20: Hit List

I like this book because its back to Anita being Anita, US marshal and kick ass bad girl with Edward.
At somepoint of the series, after the Ardeur kicked on, I felt like I was reading sex novels or pornography, and it wasnt fun. But now with Bullet, and Hit List, I feel like we're getting Anita back.

Anita and Edward are on a out of home US marshal mission, following the trail of dead were-tigers killed by the harlequin - A. Blake world version of twilights Volturi and True Bloods 'the Authority' - only much much worse. The Harlequin is not to be mentioned by name unless you wanna die. Its like Edward said it in the beginning wich made me laugh.
'It feels like were in a Harry Potter book, talking about 'he who must not be named'

The harlequin are serving Marmee Noir, Mother of all vampires, the Darkness itself, who wants to take over Anita's human body as her own.

In the book, there is a tiny hint about Edward and Anita, and it left me wondering if someday there might be something more to those two. We know Edward Would sleep with Anita to feed her Ardeur if needed, but it feels so wrong that those two would never be, for real. They are so alike. But I cant imagine Edward ever being 'one of Anita's guys'. Edward would have to be THE one for her.

We also meet Bernardo and Olaf, and Anita collects another man to her harem from the Seattle weretigers, one with 3 different shapes Ethan. Olaf gets infected with lycantrophy and he runs of, not wanting to be one of Anita's animals to call or be made as her slave like Nicky is.

Anita ends up drinking up the darkness and 'killing' marmee noir, taking her inside herself, but not letting her take over her. So i wonder what happens next.
If there's onething missing from this book, its the Micah & Nathaniel duo.
I wish we would've seen them, but maybe next time. there are so many people in Anita's life and world that its almost impossible to have them all in the same book.

True Blood s4 episode 2 - you smell like dinner

now we're getting somewhere and we're getting there fast :)

The end again, what a mouthwatering scene for the book reading eric and sookie fanbase. The Eric whos lost his memory wandering down the road for Sookie to find :)

Sookie found out about Bill being the king and what i thought was a great line, she said when asking how he got to be a king, "never mind, what I learned from being with you that everytime I learn something new about you, I'd end up wishing I didnt know it"
Aint that just right!

We found out that Bill and Nan go back to the 80's London, where Nan made a deal with Bill to work for the mainstreaming vampire population, spy on those who're royal and not 'the authority' and report back to the Authority. Thats how he got to be the king then too, when the scene at the end of season 3 got continued in Bill's flashback, and Queen Sofie Ann got a taste of  wooden bullets with silvercore, delivered to you by Bill and Nan and their camosuited armed guys. Bill, you twofaced piece of shit! 
Nan figured out killing QSA was personal for Bill and started wondering whats so special about that girl, that girl being Sookie. Now here's an interesting thought - what happens, when Nan and the Authority find out about Sookie because THEY WILL, and then what will happen to Bill who doublecrossed THEM TOO. Oh Bill! There isnt a sould on earth he hasnt betrayed.

Eric went all cave man on sookie. ' I bought you house and everything in. I own your house and I own you'.
Sookie ended up running to King Bill for help with big bad eric, but King Bill cant help Sookie, because 'Eric's got friends in high places'... hmmmmmm... Im thinking Niall, because Ive heard he might be cast for seasn 5, and I dont believe Eric YET loves sookie so much that he would without a doubt believe shes not dead when everyone else does. Im thinking Eric has inside information. (those who have not read the books dont know that Niall is the fairy prince, great grandfather of Sookie, and a sort of friend with Eric. Niall can also mask his fairyscent if you wonder why Eric hasnt eaten him yet)
Eric also told Sookie he bought her house because he cares about her, wants to protect her, and she NEEDS the protection. He's right about that but Sookie is a stubborn little kid like always.


The Hand that feeds the dog got bitten! Poor Jason! First he got locked up in broken icebox with rotten foods of the Hot Shot peoples, and then he got tied up to a bed which would be kinky if it wasnt a dirty weird boy licking his head... ew! And as if that wasnt enough, Felton 'who shoots blanks" Norris and Crystal 'fucked up in a year' Norris shifted to Panters and started eating his stomach.. in hopes of turning Jason to werepanther so he and crystal can have little kittens... because Felton Shoots Blaks! I thint they better leave Jason tied up till he shifts tho, because if I were Jason I wouldn't want anything to do with crystal after this kinky little show.


Jessica, who cant resist the temptation anymore and goes to Fangtasia for a bite of a Fangbanger. Sookie sees her, and wonders if Hoyt knows but Jessica, tired of Sookie playing her stepmom, tells her she can eat who she wants.
Sookie is over at the Fangtasia asking for Pam's help in convincing Eric to sell the house to Sookie, but pam's not buying it. She doesnt remember her and Sookie forming a 'bookclub' or 'sisterhood', and tells Sookie she's better of belonging to someone and rather Eric than someone else.

We also see Marnie 'Harry Potters aunt' the Witch wanting to use a dead body for her dark necro magic. Eric, sent by Bill., kindly offers. Well not so kindly, but instead of using Erics hot dead body, Marnie casts a spell on Eric and causes Eric to run away fast looking like a lost little boy. the next time we see him, hes on driveway walking shirtless when Sookie drives up next to him and Eric, seems to not know who or where he is, but asks Sookie ' Why do you smell so good'..

TB s4ep1: She's not there

yaaay True Blood is back!

Im propably right when I say that every Eric-Sookie shipper is squee'ing over the last minute.
We didnt get much of Eric, but the bits we did get, were better than anyone else's.

When Sookie first disappeared at the end of season 3 i was worried she would be gone for a few episodes, well not gonr from the screen but from Bon  temps and that would've cause slowdown for the inevidable - Eric. lol.  So, as it happens, she was gone 1 year / 8 minutes our screen time and back in BT before we know it. I like it. Time has passed, things have moved on, everyone's written her of.. everyone except Eric! How cool is that??

No matter how much id like to lie to myself and keep telling myself that its because Eric finally realized his undying love for sookie blabla bla BUT knowing Eric and having read the books and knowing whats gonna happen  down the road I THINK Eric might've had an idea where Sookie might be. Had she died, she would've left a body behind. Eric in the books has connection to Nial, sookies fae granddad, and Ive heard rumors there might be Nial for the show down the road, so maybe Eric knew where Sookie is, because I dont think he 'refused' to believe shes gone, as in dead gone. He bought her house, to own her. And thats what Erics always wanted - to own her. More than anything else.

Tho Jason loves Sookie and is her brother, it makes total sence for Jasons Character to move on and sell the house. Bill moved on and by the looks of it he might be moving on with Portia Bellefleur. Bill the King doesnt bother me, at least he's too busy to hang around sookies corners now. I HOPE.
The onlything about it that bothers me is him powertippin Eric, telling Eric to leave and ordering Eric around. NO ONE GETS TO DO THAT!! >.<
Im sure Bill will get whats coming for him tho.

pam, jessica and hoyt - Pam was hilarious talking to the camera. So non enthusiastic! jessica might be wanting to tasta some other blood, domestic happines doesnt seem to suite her, tho she does cook her eggs nice hah!
Im hoping The act with Tommy is just an Act, because I liked him as bad ass. Why is it anyway, that when someone turns religious, they start combing their hair so gay?!
I hope we get to see the 'in between the year sookie was gone' - events as well. Tara as lesbian wasnt real shocker, maybe coz i read about someone coming out of closet and she made total sence. Her luck with men is no luck at all. tho Id like to think she swings both ways.

Arlene is totally over-freaking´-out over her baby-renee. its normal baby behavior to break toys, tear the heads, because honestly, I dont think babies can tell the difference of the parts they rip of. it looks to me like mothers insctinct skipped Arlene's house this time round.

All in all its great to have the show back, but the episode wasnt exactly what I was looking for. We dont need to see *every storyline in the first hour, because it feels so shallow and the show didnt get a good bite of me yet. The episode was like Charlaine's latest book  - need to add every character in to one big pile of mess to give everyone something.

But either way, Im DAMN GLAD ITS BACK ON!!! :)

True blood in 3 minutes

so we've been getting 3 minute glimpses of the upcoming season 4 of True blood.
Heres the first 3 minutes
http://youtu.be/-bMRPpjOJ70

I would like it a lot more if it wasnt apparent from the beginning that we are moving away from the world of Southern Vampire Mysteries and entering a world made by A.Ball.
I never complained about this really because I always liked having the books and the tv and not knowing whats coming on tv since it was always a little different, and it sort of lives a life on its own.
But since season 4 is supposed to be the all time fan favorite book 4, I worry they change the most important thing to happen in the book series regarding the 7 books after - SOOKIE and ERIC!
They just have to happen!

That aside, i think the fae are weird. And as a book reader I cant help but point finger at things that are wrong, like grand-dad Earl and Barry. OK, so we dont know in the books yet how it is that Barry got telepathic but we know for sure that Sookie didnt get any of that from her grand dad, Earl is supposed to be the real down to earth kind of guy with nothing supernatural in him.
Another thing I already noticed last season is Im really dissapointed in the actress choise of Claudine.. shes plain, when shes supposed to be unbelievably, breathtakinly beatifull. I dont know what it would feel and look like watching the show as regular viewer.

The next 3 minutes http://youtu.be/4Pt-clMON2E

Fae queen of somekind? there was no such in books, there were prince's, but not a queen.
And sure some of them wanted to hurt Sookie and did too but The human were not allowed to enter Fae world. I dont know what to make of this really. Are we having Sookies humanfae grandfather in season 4?
or maybe if he enters the human world again, time catches up with him and hes gone.. idk?
I hope we get a look at the vampires of the show too, because this fae story isnt doing it for me.. didnt do it in the books and istn doing it here either, the best thing about the fae in the books was and is that we dont know too much about them so they seem like a mystery, why are they playing these cards for us in first 6 minutes of the season? I wanted to think they are sweet and magical, for a little longer...

GLADLY, the other promos with witches and vampires, they look AMAZING!
As Eric says in this promo, Sookie - you are mine!.. I wanna say.. yes she iss give us eric and sookie!!! =)

I also cannot wait to see what happens to Jessica and Hoyt, Pam, Jason, Tara, Sam... only 3 weeks left and Im dying lol
