Book Reviews of Strange Candy
Book Review: A Breath of Fresh Air
Summary: 5 Stars
I, like a few other readers, was losing faith in the Anita Blake series, which had long since been the source of my blinding reading joy. I felt trapped in this world that I loved with a writer that just seemed to be traveling in the same circles, always returning to the overdone sexual situations. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed every moment of the Anita Blake novels, but it's redundancy was wearing me thin. Then one day by amazing chance I picked up Strange Candy from my local library. I was enraptured from the very first story to the end. It has been a long time since I was sad to end a novel. Each story was like a breath of fresh air, containing uniqueness and life that I hadn't seen in a long time from Hamilton.
This book is great for anyone looking to enjoy Hamilton's writing outside of her regular series, or someone who simply loves to read short stories.
Summary of Strange Candy
The #1 New York Times bestselling author's short story collection-including an all-new Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter story-now in paperback.From a woman who marries into a family of volatile wizards to a couple fleeing a gang of love-hungry cupids, from a girl who seeks sanctuary in the form of a graceful goose to the disgruntled superhero Captain Housework, readers will revel in the many twists and turns of fortune in these fantastical fairy tales and lush parables. Even hardened vampire hunter and zombie animator Anita Blake gets blindsided by the disturbing motives of her clients in the new "Those Who Seek Forgiveness" and in "The Girl Who Was Infatuated with Death."
