laurel k. Hamilton is a contemporary author, whose best-known works are the novels starring Anita Blake, a vampire hunter and undead entertainer. This series blends horror, fantasy, and mystery equally well, and Anita Blake is one of the strongest and most self-reliant heroines in modern literature. set in st. Louis, Anita’s job is to reanimate the dead to resolve disputes between the living and hunt down the undead who have crossed the line into illegal behavior. Another prominent element that is popular in Anita Blake’s novels is romance: Anita has on-and-off relationships with Jean Claude, the leader of the local vampire population, and Richard, the leader of the local werewolf clan. Over the course of the series, the romantic elements have gone from “hot” to “highly erotic,” a move that upset some readers and turned other readers into new fans.
in addition to the series anita blake, laurell k. Hamilton has also launched another contemporary fantasy/mystery series, with a slightly darker tone. Set in Los Angeles, the series features Merry Gentry, a half-fairy, half-human investigator who specializes in cases involving the paranormal. This series goes much deeper into the mythology of the fairy world, and is also much more erotic even than recent Anita Blake books. Both the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry books are dark in tone, but appeal to a wide variety of readers.
