The third novel in the number one New York Times best-selling series.

In Circus of the Damned, a rogue master vampire hits town, and Anita gets caught in the middle of an undead turf war. Jean-Claude, the Master Vamp of the city, wants her for his own - but his enemies have other plans. And to make matters worse, Anita takes a hit to the heart when she meets a stunningly handsome junior high science teacher named Richard Zeeman. They're two humans caught in the crossfire - or so Anita thinks.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"She's the 'it' girl for bloodsuckers, werewolves, wereleopards and assorted undead types." (News Press [Fort Myers, FL])

"[A] gutsy, no-nonsense female unafraid to take on anything that the preternatural world throws her way." (Library Journal)

OMG the voice for John Claude is terrible

Great story with lots of action. Good strong lead with interesting support characters. The narrator is not great with men's voices but certainly passable. However, she really blows it with John Claude. I hope there is an improvement as the series continues because the voice she uses for him is just squirrelly, certainly not romantic.

Good story but bad heroine

The story is good and entertaining but I have one personal complaint. This is my third Anita Blake book and I still really don't like Anita! I'm all for "heroines and girl power" but she just comes across as a judgmental, narrow minded bitch that constantly uses bad puns! I will continue the next story of corse. Hopefully things will change and I will come to like her at least a little. I do enjoy the other characters though.

Absolutely Love

Have read the series many times over. Nice to listen while doing other things.

Great!

Wow, this one really had my heart racing. I couldn't stop listening. It was awesome.

amazing

love this book. anita is growing up. now who will be her prince charming? plenty of action.

Mind Blowing finish

I was absolutely caught up in this book. I was left with my mouth open and wanting more so glad for this escape reading

great

truly delightful . I always enjoy the series. now writing the reviews . 15 words. I just be skipping them

fast paced, dark, twisting storyline

This is the best of the audio books releases for the earlier novels and the story is one that once you start it you won't want to stop. Who is the bad guy? Who the good? What is going on? Pick this novel for a head dive into a story that keeps you frantically interested up to the last words.

Amazing vocal skills

Where does Circus of the Damned rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the first of the Laurell K Hamilton books that I ever read and is one of my favorites to listen to. It's definitely in. My top three.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is Anita Blake, the title character. This book is early enough in the series that she is still tough, smart, and strong as opposed to whiny and annoying.

Which character – as performed by Kimberly Alexis – was your favorite?

Her vocal skills are well showed off with the lamia character.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Years ago this was a random find at a library. Over a decade later I still come back to it for a good mystery and a fast paced plot.

Any additional comments?

This is the third in the series. Starting with this book is a great introduction to the author and the narrator without having read or heard any others.

great listen

I absolutely love this series. The narrator is great. I get swallowed up by this series every time.
