New
York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton brings Anita Blake to
the world of graphic novels. Anita Blake lives in a world where
vampires, zombies and werewolves have been declared legal citizens of
the United States. Anita Blake is an "animator" - a profession that
involves raising the dead for mourning relatives. But Anita is also
known as a fearsome hunter of criminal vampires, and she's often
employed to investigate cases that are far too much for conventional
police. But as Anita gains the attention of the vampire masters of her
hometown of St. Louis, she also risks revealing an intriguing secret
about herself - the source of her unusual strength and power.

I read
Guilty Pleasures many years ago and absolutely loved it. It's the first true adult series that I read and loved - at least until it became more about the sex scenes than the mystery, but that's another story.
These two volumes stick very closely to the novel and is essentially just these artists interpenetration and visualizations of the novel. The artwork is detailed and eye catching, allowing yourself to really be pulled into the story.
My problem with graphic novels is simply that: my problem. They don't have enough depth for me to really be pulled into the story. While these volumes encompass the main aspects of
Guilty Pleasures, I don't get the depth and back story of these characters that I really enjoy and felt was missing. But again, that's my issue with graphic novels as a whole and not necessarily with these two volumes.
If you are a fan of graphic novels and have yet to read
Guilty Pleasures, or you're already a fan of the novel and enjoy graphic novels, these volumes are definitely something worth checking out!
