Well, none of them are exactly great literature, but the early novels in the Anita Blake series are well worth reading.
I would recommend the first three without reservation. After that the quality is patchy - sort of when she's good she's very good but when she's bad you want to scratch your own eyes out to make it stop. But you do need to read them in order, and it's worth doing that to get to Obsidian Butterfly (book 9) which is fantastic. Easily the best of the series. But stop there.
From Narcisus in Chains (book 10) onward the series stops being about character and angst and crime and preternatural politics and starts being nothing but porn. Bad porn. There are sex scenes in earlier books but nothing like the later stuff. (If you love Obsidian Butterfly so much you need to know what happens when the characters are reunited, you could read The Harlequin. But skip the rest. Trust me, they ain't worth it.)
