Going with Valtanwar on the declining bit.
Anita Blake used to be awesome because the vampire's WEREN'T the main focus. Anita was, is, whatever. Most vampire novels are done from a vampires' point of view, or purely about vampires. They're in there quite a lot, yes, but the story isn't focused completely on the vampires.
Having everything be known and legal. Taking in all these 'monsters' from every single mythology (Ie: Laima from old Greek mythology, and the Naga from Hindu mythology), and making them known and REAL.
Also, many vampire books put the vampires in a very......emo state. Not Anita Blake. If I ever see Jean-Claude cry as much as Lestat, I'll laugh, put down the book, and go find LKH.
Vampire novels are also famous for their.....sexualilty. Anita Blake didn't have that. AT FIRST. It was nice to see a vampire novel where they weren't all madly in love with each other, or doing anything to shag them.
Of course that's changed, which is why Anita Blake is slowly falling off the list of 'Must-reads' (Still haven't finished ID. I hate Nat. Hatehimhatehimhatehim.). ^_^

eek
You hate Nat?! You have to think happy thoughts though!!
I agree with ya'll though about why Anita was and may be still good. (except for the part that you hate him!!)

I do hate Nat. Can't stand him. Which is one reason why it's taking me so long to read ID.
ninja I am THE weirdest Anita Blake fan, considering I only like a handful of character's. And currently, not even the main character. I think the only reason I keep reading is because I'd die without Jean-Claude .______.
