I love early Anita Blake with the mystery/cop interaction and work, plus early vampire councile interaction and all the wereanimal groups uniting together. I don't like Anita, Richard, and Jean-Claude interactions, the cruel, nasty,spitful, hatrid is understanding but an annoancy none the less. Then there Anita fightin what the star of her being poly, which again understanding but still alittle stupid given future books. Then there Nathaniel and I love him even in the earlier books, but I hate Anita treatment of him. But the mix of sex and emotional stuff compared to action and magic is perfect. So while there are certain parts of this book I'm not crazy about overall I love the tone of the book, esspecially given the later book over focus on sex and relationship drama.

When I originally read this I was more interested in all the police work than the interpersonal info/dramas but this read I'm more invested in all the interpersonal stuff lol

I enjoyed this reread far more than every other time ive read it! I decided not to change any ratings on this reread but i think i didnt give this book nearly enough credit before. It actually deserves the 4 and the 5s. . .most of them would be 3.5-3.75 for me so far.
I loved the philosophical discussions and the basement scene was goddamn terrifying. 2 of my fave characters are introduced. Its just good
