Vampire hunting heroine Anita Blake faces creatures that hunt in daylight and are faster and stronger than vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them. And round and round it goes. Can Anita stop them before more humans perish in agony?
I've been in love with this series from the beginning. I know the sex gets out of hand in some books. The descriptions get a little carried away as well. But I love where the overall plots go. I love that Anita kicks ass and continues not to be overwhelmed with the amount of power that she has. She doesn't want to abuse that power. I love her interactions with Edward. I think I think it is the best partnership in the entire series. Jason running a close second. I do like a lot of the men that Anita is with, but her interactions with Edward and Jason (who sadly isn't in this book at all) are the best.
There is some sex scenes in this book that I think go a little too far and I don't believe for a minute that Anita would go a long with it. I believe that she will play with BDSM, but not to the point that it is taken to in this book.
I do have to say that after reading this book, I feel like the series should be winding down to a finale. There aren't really anymore bad vamps left for her to fight. Jean-Claude is the king of all vampires, with Anita as his queen. What more can she do? I think it is just getting to a point where we have to let Anita and friends live on happily.
