This is definitely a series for fans of gothic fantasy. I found this book to be excellent with it's story as well as the realistic emotions the characters face. It's sexy, funny, horrific and entertaining. The author does a great job of keeping you glued to the book (unless your tastes run to the mild--if so, this book is NOT for you!--It's a bit graphic regarding sex and violence). I love the variety of vampires, lycanthropes and various magical creatures that show up in the writing. There's so much that this series can do that I'm really impressed. It's a great "monster"-type story that will make you fall in love (or hate) with the characters and eager to read the next book!

This is by FAR the best in the series for me to date!!! In this book we find out if Anita is as true to her celibacy as she likes to think she is... we all know that she has stuggled with her own demons...will she break, and if she does with whom will she be with, Richard or Jean-Claude?!?!

I believe I was right in assuming that the books only get better! In the begining it really didnt interest me as much. So if you are like me, PLEASE keep reading!! Push through the beginging stages and you will come to this, which for me was an AMAZING book! Also, if you have liked the previous ones, Im sure you will LOVE this one!!

Anita finds herself being more intuned with a new power with the help of Jean-Claude and Richard. Anita also finds out, yet again, someone is trying to kill her. Only this time they went professional and hired a hit man. Who has put this hit out on Anita, and who will survive in the end?!?!

This is the beginning of a much more interesting life for Ms. Blake...
A good book overall, but LKH is starting to repeat the same sentences over and over again.

I like Laurell K. Hamilton, but I prefer the first books in this series. I like romance but this is starting to get into porn almost.

Number 6 in the series. This was a good story. We get to know Edward better in this one.

SYNOPSIS:
Dating both a vampire and a werewolf isn't easy. But just to complicate Anita's already messy life, someone has put a price on her head. Love cannot save her this time, so she turns to Edward, hitman extraordinaire, for help. But finding the person behind the threat won't be easy, because as both a vampire hunter and zombie reanimator, Anita has made a lot of enemies-both human and otherwise.

This is my favorite book in the series so far. I had a hard time putting it down. It really delves into Anita's personal life and her relationships with both Richard and Jean-Claude. I'm also a fan of romance books, so I enjoyed the steamy scenes. I can't wait to start the next book!

This is my favorite of the Anita Blake series (so far!). She does a great job in this book in resolving many of the issues the characters have been facing without making the reader hate any of them. This series is a GREAT READ. Since book 3, I have read them all in one sitting, they are just to much like crack to put down.

Another marvelous Anita Blake book--this one's almost 400 pages, and I could hardly put it down.

The first six in this series are all outstanding books. This one included. I have re-read them all 3 times.
After the sixth, she just does sex with almost no story.

It took me a little bit to get into the first Anita Blake book, but after that, i can't get my hands on these books fast enough!! This one was no different.

I could not put down this book and read it in 1 day. Anita Blake at her best and forced to choose between Lycanthrope and Vampire vying to be her lover. I am trying to read this series of books in order and this was the most powerful yet. I would strongly recomnmend reading one or two of her books 1 through 5 in the series for background but well worth reading.

This one is a treat because for the first time Edward seems human. He's been a fixture in the other books, but up until now he was nothing more than a hitman. And this is early enough that Richard is still likeable.
