Finally, Ms. Hamilton has gone back to her original premise in this series of books; paranormal mystery stories with a "naughty" scene here or there. For a while it seemed she was writing soft core porn with a paranormal theme.
The Anita Blake novels had plenty to keep a reader interested without turning into a "sex book". Interesting, flawed characters, vampires, werewolves, and of course, Anita herself, a necromancer and vampire hunter who just so happens to be dating the Master Vampire of her city. Plenty of room for twists and turns there, so no real need to be so explicit.
This novel, despite its double entendre title is just that, a mystery novel. The story is strong and gripping. That's not to say there's no sex in this story, but at least Ms. Hamilton didn't have Anita jumping into the sack on page 3 like her last book.
All in all, I'm glad for the return to form. For those of us who loved the Anita Blake series as it was originally, I highly recommend this book.
