I'm Anita Blake, expert on creatures of the night. I've dined with shapeshifters, danced with werewolves, and been wooed - but not won - by Jean-Claude, the Master Vampire of the City. And now a darkly dangerous vampire named Alejandro has hit town. He too wants me for his human servant. A war of the undead has begun. Over me. I would be flattered. If my life weren't at stake.

I'm seriously loving this series. I enjoyed the development of Anita's conflict with Jean-Claude - master vampire of the city - in this book. It was not as intense as the last book for me, nor as mysterious, but I still really enjoyed it. Unlike in previous books where I felt like there were multiple threads to pull, all the threads in this book all really intertwined much more closely and it felt like just one thread. A couple surprises in just how far Anita is willing to go with some things - don't want to spoil - and a new relationship budding which I'm excited to see. I feel like it's doomed because clearly at some point Anita is going to get over her aversion to Jean-Claude being a vampire, but still, I enjoy seeing her try other relationships in the meantime. On to the next book!
