Skin Trade by Laurell K. Hamilton

Skin Trade (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #17)

by Laurell K. Hamilton

The sensational new novel from the New York Times bestselling author featuring her vampire-hunting heroine Anita Blake Once you tell someone certain things, like, say, you got mailed a human head in a box, they tend to think you're crazy. Anita Blake's reputation has taken some hits. Not on the work front, where she has the highest kill count of all the legal vampire executioners in the country, but on the personal front. No one seems to trust a woman who sleeps with the monsters. Still, when a vampire serial killer sends her a head from Las Vegas, Anita has to warn Sin City's local authorities what they're dealing with. Only it's worse than she thought. Several officers and one executioner have been slain -- paranormal style...Anita heads to Las Vegas, where she's joined by three other federal marshals, including the ruthless Edward hiding behind his mild-mannered persona. It's a good thing Edward always has her back, because, when she gets close to the bodies, Anita senses "tiger" too strongly to ignore it. The were-tigers are very powerful in Las Vegas, which means the odds of her rubbing someone important the wrong way just got a lot higher...

Well I'm going to say that I always love the books, where Anite and Edward are together, I enjoy them so much. Plus you get more action instead of sex which is always nice too. I love it that there is no Richard can't stand him, no Micah for some reason I just don't like him, nor do I like Nathaniel either I just don't know why they've never been fave characters. Though I must say I love the names LKH comes up with in her books Truth, Wicked, Requiem, I like those guys, I really like them because they are tall and manly, where as most of the guys Anita likes are girly men look wise. Which is ok for some, but me I just prefer tall and rugged. But yes I enjoyed this book, and wish the rest of them would be like how this one is. Though I did miss Jean-Claude, but I LOVED IT! When he got all jealous, and pissy over all the men she has, and I love it that he's starting to stand up to her, hope to see more of that.
