May I say, I was a little disappointed that my favorite Anita boyfriends weren’t in this story…but I was okay…meeting a new character who ended up stealing Anita’s love or lust, I should say. I wanted to hear more about my fave characters, Micah and Nathaniel. Especially, Nathaniel, I can’t get enough of him. I wish this book series would be a tv show or a movie already. It would blow away Harry Potter, Twilight and whatever crazy teen fascination the teens have because this series is all for the adults. I love it!! I was amazed by all the graphic details and the action this book had. I’m a little freaked out about the Otto Jeffries character. He is starting to freak me out even more. I’m glad Anita is trying her best to stay away from him…but he is so obsessed with her in this book that it goes a little too far.

This book was about Marmee Noir coming back and wanting Anita’s body, but of course, you know Anita will fight back and fight back hard. I can’t wait to see what happens to Anita and her friends in the next book. Thank you, Laurell K. Hamilton for keeping up my addiction with the Anita Blake Series. I love this series, and I hope you never end it. I feel like I’ve known the characters for a long time and their apart of my life now.

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
