As consultant to the Regional Preternatural Crime Investigation Unit, Anita Blake is called in on what appears to be a case involving a serial killer - a vampire serial killer - who may be preying on strippers. She's sure that none of the local vamps are responsible, but her judgement may be clouded by a conflict of interests. For she is, after all, the consort of Jean-Claude, the ever- intoxicating Master Vampire of the City - something both her human friends and her ex, the alpha werewolf Richard, are quick to point out. Surrounded by suspicion and overwhelmed by her attempts to control her own primal lusts for vampire, werewolf and shapeshifter, Anita is about to be pushed to her limits - and beyond.
If you're not ok with a ton of sex scenes then maybe it's time you stopped reading this series. It's evolved from supernatural to supernatural erotica. It took me some time to get used to it but I'm ok with it now and I think that's because this book helped bridge some gaps in that part of the story line.
My problem with this book in particular was that there was no plot. Sure it focused on Anita trying to figure out all this ardeur stuff but nothing actually happened other than her figuring stuff out. There was a serial killer murdering strippers that Anita was working on but it was only mentioned in the beginning and at the end. This book felt like it could have been squished down and added to one of the other books because there was a whole lot of nothing happening in this one.
