Narcissus in Chains is the tenth book in the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton. It is a paranormal romance novel that features werewolves, vampires, wereleopards, and other supernatural creatures. The main character, Anita Blake, is a necromancer who works as a zombie reanimator and a vampire executioner. She is also involved in a complicated love triangle with Jean-Claude, a master vampire, and Richard, an alpha werewolf.
The plot of the novel revolves around Anita’s return to St. Louis after six months away, during which she has to deal with the consequences of her actions in the previous books. She has to choose between her two lovers, who both want to mark her as their mate and share their powers with her. She also has to protect the wereleopards, who are under her care, from a mysterious enemy who is kidnapping and torturing them. Along the way, she faces a lot of danger, violence, and steamy sex scenes.
The novel has received mixed reviews from critics and readers. Some praised it for its action-packed and erotic story, its complex and intriguing characters, and its exploration of themes such as identity, morality, and sexuality. Others criticized it for its excessive and repetitive sex scenes, its lack of plot development and coherence, and its deviation from the original tone and style of the series. Some fans of the series also felt disappointed by Anita’s character development and her final choice of lover.
Narcissus in Chains is a book that will appeal to fans of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and erotica. It is not recommended for readers who are looking for a more traditional and coherent mystery thriller, or who are sensitive to graphic violence and sexual content. The book can be read as a standalone, but it is better to read the previous books in the series to understand the background and the relationships of the characters.
