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.
LKH whets my appetite for the next book in the series with this slightly long short story. I did want more but still it's incredibly readable. Anita manages to only have one sex scene, stays faithful to one partner, actually raises a dead person, evades death and altogether returns somewhat to the character I liked rather than an extra in a porn movie. If this is a sign of things to come I will be buying the new book when it comes out but if it isn't I'll be deeply disappointed, tho the teaser at the end did whet my appetite for the next in the series!
