small spoiler alert…
Hit List by Laurell K. Hamilton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
*note* I mention adult topics in this review.
Every time I read a new Hamilton book, I say I’m not going to read another one. Well, she published Hit List, and I requested it from the library, read it in a couple of days – and I’m actually glad I did. This one is much better then the last few. It is a little light on plot, as all the more recent ones by her are, but it’s also much less sex as well (though, admitedly, Anita still talks about sex on just about every page, at least she’s not actually having sex on every page). All of the main characters other then Anita are basically missing from this one, though you do at least see Edward & I am a big Edward fan.
The ending is wrapped up a little too quickly/neatly/perfectly for me: the bad guys are supposed to be so, so, bad, but without much effort or thought, the good guys are magically saved & live on to fight the good fight another day,& the bad guys are simply gone without much effort. That part did bother me, but all in all, I did enjoy the book, it was a light, fun, fast read. I give the book 3 stars because the book of course did have some problems/issues, but it was still worth reading, especially if you are smart like I did & borrow the book instead of buy it.
