Bloody Bones is the fifth book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. It follows the adventures of Anita, a necromancer and vampire hunter, as she travels to Branson, Missouri, to raise some ancient zombies for a land dispute. However, she soon finds herself in the middle of a supernatural murder mystery involving three dead teenagers, a bloodless corpse, and a powerful vampire named Seraphina who wants to claim Anita as her own.
The book is a fast-paced and action-packed urban fantasy that introduces new characters and challenges for Anita. She has to deal with a new partner, Larry, a rookie animator who is eager to learn from her. She also has to face some of the most evil and twisted creatures she has ever encountered, such as a faerie named Magnus who can control the elements, and a vampire named Xavier who can manipulate minds. She also has to deal with her complicated relationship with Jean-Claude, the master vampire of St. Louis, who comes to her aid and tries to win her over.
The book is not without its flaws, however. Some readers may find the plot too convoluted and the villains too over-the-top. Some may also be disappointed by the ending, which leaves some loose ends and unresolved issues. The book also contains some graphic scenes of violence and sex, which may not be suitable for everyone.
Overall, Bloody Bones is an entertaining and thrilling read for fans of the Anita Blake series and the urban fantasy genre. It showcases Hamilton’s talent for creating a vivid and dark world of vampires, werewolves, zombies, and other supernatural beings. It also explores some of the moral and ethical dilemmas that Anita faces as she tries to balance her job, her personal life, and her humanity.
