About this book
When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master.

So I got into the series pretty late in the game, 2008 or 2009. I started with the first book and finished the others off pretty quickly; I even had to drive 4 hours round trip because no store in my area had one of the books and I didn't want to wait for it to come in (I wanted it NOW!!!) THe last few books before this I was starting to get get a bit, not disappointed really, but disenchanted with the Anita Blake world. Anita just kept moaning and complaining, and being a biotch to her lovers,...

In this book Anita is working again as an U.S Marshall and the Executioner with St. Louis police department and a SWAT team trying to catch a rebel group or kiss of vampires. This vampire kiss is also targeting Anita and her loved ones and she has conflict of interest between duty and protecting her \"people\". It's great to see how she and Dolph trust each other again and her bantering \"guy\" frienship with Zerbrowski. There is also a lot happeninng relationshipwise in her life. This book had...

I've read every Anita Blake book (minus the anthologies and Beauty) and, like most of you I enjoyed the first 9, and what the heck, I'll be a little generous here and say that I even enjoyed it up to 12. 13-16 were tolerable (barely) and I definitely had to take a break in reading them all. 17 (Skin Trade) was one of my favorites because of the completely new environment and people, and also because we saw a somewhat return to the old Anita. Somewhat. All the cops asking/discriminating in...

I want to start by saying that this book may not be exactly a 5 star novel. BUT compared to the past few LKH books, this one is so much better that it deserves the extra star. There is ACTUAL PLOT in this book! The case and scenario is original and not something thats been done before really in the series. Sure some part felt a little re-used but when you're 20 books in thats kind of unavoidable. There was not pages wasted explaining each man, and although most of the main men in her life are...

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT. Where to start? This is really a neutral book in the series. If you were looking for pages and pages of sex this is not the book for you. If you thought the whole of the book was going to be about these out of place vampires that is promised on the cover of the book this is not the book for you. It is mostly, again, a book of Anita trying to convince herself that she really does like sex, she really does like having sex with more than 5 guys and at least one woman, how she...
