About this book
A serial killer is hunting the Pacific Northwest, murdering victims in a gruesome and spectacular way. The local police suspect “monsters” are involved, and have called in Anita Blake and Edward, U.S. Marshals who really know their monsters, to catch the killer.
But some monsters are very real—and even to speak their name can earn you a death sentence. The bogeymen of the vampire world, The Harlequin, are here in America hunting weretigers and human police. But Edward thinks the serial killings are just a trap—to lure Anita ever closer to the most dangerous vampire they’ve ever hunted…

Alright...so the book starts out quick and to the point. No drama with Anita leaving, no extra emotional oh poor me, and I'm holier than thou act.

I didn't like how Skin Trade ended with the sex tactic, but I enjoyed how this one did. I mean everyone said that it was anticlimactic, but you know what I loved the ending! I...

LKH gave us some hot steamy pages to turn but...

I read a number of the negative reviews and the negative comments of those who want to hate thIs series posted on the other positive reviews and I don't get it. This books was good.

I'm posting primarily because all the negative reviews almost convinced me not to read this novel, which would have been my loss. If you read to be entertained and...

Anita's latest case has her dancing with danger, where her healing powers come with a twist more complicated than a pretzel at a yoga retreat. Will she crack the case and catch the culprits, or will her supernatural gift turn into a cosmic practical joke? )
