* ButNotTooBlack: The most prominent African-American character, Vivian ([[SeriesContinuityError not Vanessa]]), is described to resemble "coffee with enough cream to make it almost white" with "pale, blue-grey eyes."
** Jamison Clarke, an African American animator, is described as a green-eyed redhead.
** Anita herself could qualify as a Mestizo version-though her ethnicity is continually touted throughout the books, she is paler than most Caucasoids. While it is worth noting she is only half Mexican while also half Anglo-Saxon, it's strange everyone generally makes a such fuss about her ethnicity and how she's so "exotic," when she isn't visibly Amerind and has very little cultural background. Note, however, that Latino people can be of any race.
*** Pretty much all characters who aren't white are described as being white in some shape or form. It's... noticeable.

Anita is at her "day job" and meets up with a shady, suspicious character that she suspects is up to no good, who tries to hire her for something. Her unscrupulous, proudly [[GreyAndGrayMorality 'grey hat']] boss coerces her into taking the case, while Anita threatens him and the client with either quitting or doing them grievous bodily injury. Anita speaks with her various love interests. Anita is called to a crime scene by the RPIT squad (or other law enforcement, if she's traveling) for some gruesome crime scene that will turn out to be relevant to her own case later on. At some point, she'll need to raise a zombie for something; this may involve using her own blood as a sacrifice in replacement of her preferred (chicken). Anita tries to reconcile being a Christian with being a necromancer. The plot goes on for a while longer before Anita finds out that the person who hired her in the beginning is the real BigBad. She kills a bunch of vampires/monsters/people, overdoes her new magical ability, and wakes up in the hospital. In the later books, expect sex to be included somewhere, as Anita essentially becomes a [[HornyDevils succubus]].

* SuddenlySexuality:
** Richard Zeeman is straight as an arrow, to the point of borderline homophobic, and originally, it was an issue that he tried to learn to deal with as he ascended in the pack. After his CharacterDevelopment, he's open to sharing a woman (Anita, Envy, and as of Crimson Dreams, Angel) with at least Jean-Claude, and has a BDSM dynamic with Asher where his dominance is centered on how, while he'll fulfill Asher's pain needs, he won't give him sexual contact, and denying him that is a big part of the dominance. Not precisely bisexuality, but certainly a comfort level that isn't entirely straight.
** Damian gets a turned-bi plotline in ''Crimson Dreams'', although he, like Micah, seems to be more "Nathaniel is my exception" than anything.
** Sylvie dismisses the option of gaining power by dating Richard [[spoiler:rather than killing him]], because she "doesn't do men". She later refuses to get close to Anita raising her arduer, because she "doesn't do women". In between, her girlfriend is referenced.
*** This looked like a copy-edit fail: i.e., the copy-editor had not read the previous books and thus did not know that Sylvie most *definitely* does not do men, thus read the original sentence and "corrected" it to not doing "women". To the chagrin and occasionally lasting shame of many authors, copy-edit fails are not uncommon.
** And of course Anita herself [[spoiler: having sex with a woman]] in ''Bullet''. She has a few female lovers now, although given all the men she's tied to metaphysically, it's potentially justified. Each such link means you get a bit of the other person you're tied to; it's quite likely she picked up an attraction to women from one of her men - or even first female lover Jade as the bond formed.

''Buffy: The Vampire Slayer'' (the film) came out in 1992, though most of the Urban Fantasy trappings didn't arrive until the series in 1996. ''Guilty Pleasures'', the first Anita Blake novel, was published in 1993. It's pretty clear none of these creators were directly inspired by one another, rather all charting different paths to drag the classic horror monsters kicking and screaming into the new millenium.[[/labelnote]]
