 Finally we get Jason's story June 10, 2008

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've always liked Jason and since Cerulean Sins I have wanted to know Jason's history. While this book is out of the norm for Anita Blake fans that is what I find intriguing and keeps me coming back for more. You never know what direction Anita will take and that is what is fun about the series. I like surprises and there are always new ones in store from LKH.
The book is mostly about Jason and his background, why he is where he is, what caused him to make the decisions he did, and why he is estranged from his family. Also, his insight is amazing. He always lets Anita know what she needs to know and can get away with it without making her mad, usually. This book was no exception to that. He told her some truths about her role as Human Servant and what needed to be done.
While most of the book centers on Anita and Jason and how their relationship is evolving, you do get some insight into the other main men in Anita's life and that is always a pleasure. Micah and Jean-Claude are consistent and because of the events in this book there will be more from them I'm sure. Nathaniel is coming into his own and becoming a strong personality. Richard is changing again, which could be really good or really bad depending on what happens next.
Then there are the wereanimals, vampires, political intrigue, fighting, and of course Marmee Noir. Anita kicks butt in her usual fashion, has new wereanimals to deal with, finds new ways to use her powers, and then there's the sex. What more can you ask for in an LKH book?
The thing I like about LKH and her character development is that they are always changing with the events just like real people change with what happens in their lives. I am really looking forward to the next book.
A Great Book June 19, 2008

This is definitely the best Anita Blake novel since Narcissus in Chains. Only three sex scenes, one of which is mostly glazed over, full of plot, new revelations about Anita's powers, and I feel like the Jason character has really been fleshed out. The word count per page is reasonable (no double spacing). It took me about 4 hours to read today.
Overall I highly enjoyed the novel and would recommend it to readers who became a little jaded by all the sex in the last few books. Give Laurell K Hamilton another chance and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Always more fun coming along July 4, 2008

I wish more authors I love would write this many books!! I reread them a lot, I get a lot out of them. They're extremely meaningful to me. This new one isn't my favorite, but I bought it, read it, and it was just as crazy as every other book in the series. I love the way the ante just keeps getting upped, and upped, and upped some more, both in the vampire and lycanthrope subcultures and in Anita's personal life. I really can't thank LKH enough for what she has done for fiction. Thank you Laurell!!! Don't stop any sooner than ya gotta. I'll be truly sad when this series finally winds down.
story this time July 8, 2008

It was nice to see sex taking more of a back seat. Liked the story and the new charaters.

I love the Anita Blake series, it never bores me, always has new twists and surprises. I love the way she gives each character their own due and respect. It's the one time in my life I can live in an alternate world alongside Anita and her minions.
