Plot? What plot? ( )

When a friend needs a (big) favor, Anita says yes - and ends up flying (gulp) and standing in as girlfriend. The situation is complicated by a double, well, actually two, who never shows up at all creating a nice amount of confusion among paparazzi and wedding guests. Of course Anita's actions are never NOT of interest to the preternatural world, either - and rushing off to help Jason doesn't play well with the other city Masters, meaning major complications are coming. Oh yeah, and enter the weretigers - and Mame Noir is waking up....

Less extraneous sex and more talking - Anita's finally growing up? Who knows, but this installment was more readable. It's nice to see a return to a book where plot isn't secondary. ( )

I can't tear myself away from the Anita Blake series...even though the ardeur scenes have gotten tired and overused over the past few books. I keep hoping that the series will go back to the action-conflict from early on instead of this "I love everyone and don't know what to do about it" conflict. But it's still a nice easy read. ( )

Okay not only was this a boring, badly written novel, the lack of insight that Anita displays is just so aggravating! Gah! This was written in about half an hour, with the same 10 sentences/ideas reworked again and again. If had one more description of Jason's grin how it enticed women to pay but it wasn't the real grin, but this was the real grin that would entice women to pay more. Give it a rest already. In fact the entire book felt like filler to me. I didn't like the sex scenes and then I didn't like what was between the sex scenes, I started skimming and couldn't even be bothered to follow the fight scenes once they arrived. I love Jean Claude, why is he barely in the books anymore? The only reason I'll read the next is that it appears that it will start with JC and Asher, and hopefully that will be a better book for me.

Re Anita, she gives Jason this whole lecture on respect and how she doesn't share, but she forces every man with her to share, all because of the 'arduer'. she really has no insight into her character or her actions, and she limits everyone around her with her own weird morals. I really want her to break out of this phase because I'm finding it very boring. And I can't wait for JC to be allowed loose a little! ( )
