Laura R. (starwolf) reviewed on 7/4/2010 + 120 more book reviews

I was very disappointed with this one. As a rule I love Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series. This 158 page book cost $24 and was basically just a very short story. I don't begrudge the auther her due but the book promises so much more than it delivers.

After the short story is a rambling account of how the author came up with the book's basic idea (which had little to due with the really storyline). Then a comic drawn by her friend. Both were incredibly boring.

Not your typical Anita Blake book. But, like "Micah" another short story sold as a complete novel. It used to be this would have been included in a larger novel but then that was before the author became so popular.

Don't get me wrong - it's not a bad little story. Just don't pay full price for it - pick it up used (there's bound to be some around) or check it out of your local library. It's a quick afternoon read.
