Quick and fun, though a tad repetitive. A good book to take your mind off of things!

Not my favorite Anita Blake book but I still liked it. But my book seemed like one of those advance copies because there were so many mistakes in it! It annoyed me as I was reading.

It's been a while since I enjoyed one of books in the Anita series. This one didn't drag as long with lots of action. Anita is now juggling which men she's with and which ones are okay with her "options". Then there's someone going around killing people. As always, she is hunting them down and raising people from the dead.

I liked this book much better than the last couple (though I did like Obsidian Butterfly). I think I tend to like the story lines where Anita is raising zombies and working for the police better then when Hamilton takes her away from that part of her job. I'm really hoping they have wrapped up the S&M wereanimal plot. It was getting to be a bit much. Hopefully Edward will make an appearance soon. I used to hate him, but in the last book that feature him he started to grow on me. I will say, reading certain parts of this book before bed with a glass of wine can lead to interesting dreams involving Jean Claude and Asher, and even Jason!

3.75 stars, rounded up.
I’m starting to lose count, but I think Anita has 3 boyfriends at this stage…??

This is my second reading trough the series after more than a decade. I needed to remind myself of the character and plot trough the series. I keep being outraged how the main character POV is making other characters look bad or good depending on the mood.
I got angry while reading this book while trying to map out the evolution of some of the characters without them being distorted trough Anita's POV. I almost got the urge to went to all those who hate and look down on the characters I like the most because this book gave me lots of quoting ammunition for just that.
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF PICKING OUT THE CHAPTERS FOR SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE NEXT BOOK SHOULD HAVE HIS/HERS KNEECAPS SMASHED REPEATEDLY
