sigh.... These books used to be fun, snappy, full of genuine character concerns for the lead, Anita, which did not boil down to simply, sex. They used to have actual plot. God knows I've kept trying, but this could be the one that means I just can't be bothered with Anita Blake anymore. Danse Marcabe was the worst of the recent bunch but this one is just plain dull.

However when I saw this one I picked it up eagerly, and read it in one sitting.
LKH is back to much better form with this one. The plot moves on with Marmee Noir, and we see insights into Anita's and other's characters. It is good to see Anita continuing to grow up as the series progresses, and whilst somethings are explained, new twists continue to appear.
