A lack luster story and far too much sex. - Rated 
There's a gang of vampire serial killers on the loose, so the Executioner gets called in to deal with them.
That's about it, really. Except that the first murder happens on page 15, the second one not until about 400 pages later. In between there's a lot of sex, Anita helping calm a riot, sex, Anita raising a zombie, sex, Anita fighting a few other battles, and, oh yeah, sex. Plus, of course, the obligatory agonising about it afterwards. So, like Narcissus in Chains, way too much sex; unlike it, the vampire-fighting action isn't that good when it finally does happen. Hmm. This may be the one when I have to finally admit that the stories I started reading with enjoyment have moved off in a completely different direction, never to return.
Unbearable - Rated
This book was downright awful. I was not able to even finish reading the last few chapters. It is really frustrating that the books (after Obsidian Butterfly) have a crime scene at the very beginning of the book, which misleads the reader to believing that there is going to be an action-packed, rich story with amazing characters to follow and mysteries to solve. Do not get your hopes up !!! Anita is so busy having sex with anything with a pulse , that there is no space for anything else. The woman is sexually frustrated.
I truley miss the "old", the real Anita Blake series. She was such a strong character, taking no nonsense from anyone. Someone who had her priorities fully sorted out.
The main men characters were strong-minded and actually had a personality. Now they are only lining up to see who is going to get jumped next, when she gets "hungry" again.
Even after reading these last horrible books, I am still hoping for a miracle to happen...... book 15, The Harlequin is going to be published soon, and I am hoping that the author at least tried to save the series !!!
Losing quality by the book - Rated 
I'm not even putting up a small blurb of the book. Because Incubus Dreams is just pages and pages of mindless writing. There's no conducting thread, no visible plot. Just endless and most of the time meaningless conversations mixed with sex scenes. The `murder story' makes one or two brief appearances never be heard of again. It is also unfinished, meaning the case is never completely solved.
I actually thought Hamilton was picking the pace again, with Cerulean Sins. I mean, I didn't expect the series to live on the same kind of plot forever (read: Anita hunting big bad vamps and werewolves), but Cerulean Sins was proof that the plot can evolve to something different, and still be interesting. The `new Anita Blake trend' (read: the author focusing more on vampire politics, the ardeur and on Anita's life) doesn't really bother me. What bothers me is the fact that the books are loosing coherency and quality fast. Incubus Dreams is a thoroughly unworthy sequel.
Incubus Dreams Reveiw - Rated
I must say many people have critisized this book, and i can understand their vewis on it, because i myself have been thinking the same, how much sexual scenes has Laurel K Hamilton used in this book so far, and im only on the 500 page so far out of the 725 or so there is. I must say its gets very bleak and boring at times, and i found myself driting away because it felt like i had read some of the scenes once before and i was just going over it again and again, but although i may point out that it has read into too much erotica, i have to compliment the way she gripped me with scenes which involved Ronnie, (I found their chat very interesting). The couple who was heartbroken by the loss of their son really enticed me, by the mother's emotions, the sense of their great loss, and the way Anita didn't really care, But apart from that it could have crammed in so much more stuff to make the book work better, i enjoy Laurel K hamiltons work of the anita Blake books, and i am enjoying Incubus dreams, although it has such weak points, i read through many hours of staying up late in the nights, and flowed through about 400 pages smoothyl, i doubt that the other hundred or possible fifty actually held my attentions because i was sometimes drifting..i have to say though that as the plot thickens int he anita blake book it does actually get better, as the books go on from obsidian butterfly ect...they hold a new sense of adventure, hol dmore revelations and such more, more things are cropping up which you know is going to lead into the future books, and i think it is that sense of curiosity that intrigues me even more, because i wouldn't put down this book because i just couldn't, because i had enjoyed it mostly, and despite other people that have really critized this book, it's not as bad as everybody makes it out to be.
