This is book number 19 in her series about Anita Blake, a vampire hunter (only bad ones), and necromancer (she raises the dead for a couple of hours for a very large fee). She is one of my 4 favorite authors like: Kelley Armstrong, Kim Harrison, and Charlaine Harris, and Laurell, of course.! If you love dark supernatural stories, you will love this series. It gets extremely erotic and sensual, and you may find Laurell's stories about Anita Blake are not for you. So you should read the first book before reading this one. Otherwise you will be confused. In fact you will not be ready to read this one for quite some time, because you have to read at least the first 5 or 6 in her series to somewhat understand this one. Although Laurell does a great job of explaining past events.!!! I have not finished this book, but am 1/2 way through with it. This is a great series, and you really have to pay attention to the plot of her supernatural series books. This one is no exception. The basic plot of this book so far has been a "passionate power struggle". This is a continuing theme in her books, and has continued. I love her books..!! Including this one.!!Read full review
As an avid Anita Blake fan, I can tell you this is a great read. Lots of action, in every sense of the word. Great story line...even if the ending was a bit rushed. I assume this is leaving an opening for the next book in the series. These books are not of the "stand alone" variety...you really need to read it as part of the series to understand what's going on. Another great read though by a wickedly talented author.
The cover and book were in good shape. Happy to have been able to get at such a great price. Adding it to my collection. Thank you
