MICAH: Phone calls at half-past dawn are never a good omen for Anita Blake. This time she must fly within hours to Philadelphia, her task - to raise a witness from the dead for his testimony. Yet she could be her own worst enemy on this particular job. Accompanied only by her lover Micah, will he be enough to feed the ardeur, the lust-hunger that afflicts her? And, for the first time, they will be truly alone together - with all her fears and emotional doubts. STRANGE CANDY: Both sweet and spicy, these fantastical fairy tales are treats that will leave you craving more ...From a woman who marries into a family of volatile wizards to a couple fleeing a gang of love-hungry cupids, readers will revel in these unique, at times surreal, visions. This is Laurell K. Hamilton's first short story collection - including an all-new Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter story.
I have mixed feelings about this. Not really because of the content, but because of the delivery. A novel this was not. It was a short story printed with 14pt type and double-spaced, with full page chapter headings to add some bulk to the book. Not really worth the $8 I spent on it (man, I remember when paperbacks were $3.50). I read it in about an hour and a half Saturday night. I’m expecting big things from her next real book in the series, which is due out in June.
