The sensational new novel from the New York Times bestselling author featuring her vampire-hunting heroine Anita Blake. When Anita Blake meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there is to know about loss. But what she also knows, though Tony Bennington seems unwilling to be convinced, is that the thing she can do as a necromancer isn't the miracle he thinks he needs. The creature that Anita could coerce to step out of the late Mrs. Bennington's grave would not be the lovely Mrs. Bennington. Not really. And not for long.
OK so because of the fact that Nathaniel and Micah aren't particularly my fave characters in the book, and I wish they would move on, or move away, not die because they are good characters but more like *POOF BE GONE* I know i'm a minority in that, and that's ok. But anywho the scenes where they were all mushy gushy I just sat their and rolled my eyes. And in the restaurant where they brought up that Nathanial's flirting wasn't approved by Anita and Micah, I actually sat there thinking that if LKH would expand Nathaniels character I would probably like him more, like how he's getting more dominance, that now he can find him someone else??!??!? The lion thing, Ok yeah I get it, she's got all these animals and needs to have that one that aligns well with her animals and all that, but I did not like what she did to Nicky, I felt really bad for him, and it really pissed me off that he's like this lost little kitten now because she took his free will away. Though the zombie scene was pretty epic. Sometimes I think in the Anita books the placement of the whole dominance thing is put in, in the wrong places, and the parts I think should have more of it, is highly slacking. It just brings me back to the whole thinking Anita is such a bad ass, but yet a major pansy ass at the same time. I think she needs to start weeding out her "lovers" and just keep them as lovers "bed mates". But I guess since the ardeur that's not going to happen ::SIGHS::
