I actually have a podcast review of the series somewhere, but my friend is editing music into it. XD
So far I've read about the first ten books of the series, and my opinions differ from Yuki's a little, but we still generally agree on the overall quality of the series.

I've read:
Guilty Pleasures; The Laughing Corpse; Circus of the Damned; The Lunatic Café; Bloody Bones; The Killing Dance; Burnt Offerings; Blue Moon; Obsidian Butterfly; Narcissus in Chains

[[Book one to book six~seven are a bland tie of personal faves for me lol]]

This might seem a lot, as the books are some 200-500 (?) pages each, but the series is damn addicting. I think I read it all during the break. The initial humor and wit of Anita Blake as a character is great, especially when she is thrown into situations that she never asks for. Each character has their own distinctive, well written voice which enables each reader to have a personal opinion of each character, even different from perhaps Anita's opinion. In my opinion the tone and plot series started to change in book 8, Blue Moon. The emphasis of certain characters, the personality of many characters, and belief systems, values and generally the world begins to change at this point. However, among fans, the undisputed turning point of the series is book 10. I personally don't like the change of logic, values, and plot of the characters, but many people do like it. It all depends on your preferences. One thing is for sure, though. Though LKH (Laurell K. Hamilton) basically transforms the series, she does it well, and she does it well enough that we're still able to hate and even love certain characters. The characters (who still stay in the series) may change, but they still have personalities (even though they may completely suck), so that's what makes the latter half of the series worth discussing IMO
