The First Death fleshes out a story we hear about in Guilty Pleasures (and other ABVH stories) but never saw. I've always enjoyed Anita and Edward's dynamic, so this was an enjoyable read. I do think the final fight could have been longer as there's a lot of build up to that moment.
The Guilty Pleasures Handbook is a good source of info into the world of Anita Blake, but since I've read the first book multiple times, I just skimmed it.

Really liked finally getting this story instead of pieces referenced in a ton of books. Great art work too
