Better -but still disappointing I loved the early Anita Blake books, they had a plot, action, romance and humour, then came the sex. If it is as bad as it is written Anita deserves pity. I only bought this because one of the reviews said Edward was back, unfortunately we still have the rest of the men in Anita's life including the dreary nathaniel, he offered to leave if Anita could not satisfy his craving for domination - she should have leapt at the chance and the book would have been so much better.

Well, completist that I am, I'm embarrassed to say that I cracked. Too be honest, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting; there were even moments, sadly never realized, when a cracking story threatened to break out - and Edward's presence was an absolute pleasure.
