I loved this book, I am a new fan of the anita blake series and I have read the first 5 books now in a matter of weeks. I loved Guilty Pleasures as this really brings you into the world of Anita and the great characters in the series and just has you wanting for more. But this book was the scariest of them yet and times a little gross but thats what you want from a vampire slayer style book. I just love the main characters in this book and I also love the developing relationship with anita and Jean Claude. I have read reviews on here of the later books and people have said the sex takes over a bit but I am not there yet and to be honest I cant wait till she actually does the deed with Jean Claude as its building for the last 5 books. I am facinated with vampires and shapeshifers anyway and this book really does delve into there worlds like no other book or programme I have ever read or watched and I love it. This would make a great tv series or movie but then again would probably ruin all the images you make of the characters. But I cant wait to read the rest of the series and just hope Ms Hamilton keeps on developing anita more and more. A great book
