 soso July 9, 2008
I can see where LKH is going...but the book was so so. I want more, more fleshed out story lines. The plot is fine, but there is a need for more precise editing.

It was nice to see sex taking more of a back seat. Liked the story and the new charaters.

Wow, I read some of the reviews about how Anita was "back" and doing what she was known for not the self absorbed sex kitten she has turned into. What a load of &%$#@%^! This book is the worst so far in the Anita Blake series with the old Anita showing up in Chapter 53 of the 55 chapters of this book. Does Laurell Hamilton look at any of her fans reviews? The last good book she wrote was "Narcissus in Chains", after which, we saw traces of Anita here and there doing her thing as a vampire hunter. I really loved those early books! The opening chapter is Anita having sex with two men and when one of them says something sexual to her, she blushes! Come on!!Don't spend your money on this dud, there are other writers out there trust me. I'm done with Laurell's books from now on. Her Merry Gentry novels are the same thing, just different hair color! The people who gave this book a good review need to be on meds because they are delusional!

As with all of Laurell K Hamilton's books. This one leaves you waiting for the next. Which as a fan of hers I really hope there are more. It is the type of book that makes it so riviting that you don't want to put it down...

I keep buying the Anita Blake novels despite the lack of integrity to the original series that has emerged over the last half of the run. In this 'novel', Anita has no big mystery to solve or monster to kill...she simply develops a stronger relationship with yet another character who's been waiting for her to want him. The lack of emotional connection I felt in reading this book is hopefully going to be enough reason to stop supporting this author and her obsession with the sex driven vampiric device. I whipped through the book waiting to care; luckily a ridiculous 'twin' gimmick ensured I was bored. I want the original series: a cool, tough chick, a challenging job, and some spark of sex along the way. How the author expects or hopes for people to respect this difficult woman relating to a stripper much younger than her while keeping up with her ancient vampire and mature werewolf is beyond me. Throw in 4 more 'men' for her melting pot and there is a mess.
