I was glad Edward was added towards the end. He always makes things fun. I'm disappointed in part of the story line which is why I only gave the story 4 stars. There was so much leading up to finding the big bad guy and just like that it's over in a heart beat. Wish she wouldn't rush the endings so much in her stories. Lately it seems she has been doing that more and more. Such awesome storylines and then bang 2 paragraphs and it ends. She needs to let the ending breath like a good wine. Don't rush it.

I don't think we'll ever get back to the feel of the first Anita books, but Hamilton is working her way back up. After a few books full of nothing but multiple rounds of sex with multiple partners, we're finally seeing fights with monsters again. I think the story line with Micah's parents is a little hard to swallow, but it's not a deal-breaker. I suppose those situations exist, but I doubt you'd find two in a family, particularly when the child in question wasn't raised that way. But whatever. I also just finished the latest Merry Gentry novel, and it's pretty obvious that Hamilton is crazy in love with her husband and current partners because her novels are practically oozing "we're all in love" all over the bookshelf. So, more power to her, but I read these books, not just because of the romance, but because of the action (the fighting, not the sex). There was a nice balance in the beginning, and if Hamilton could find her way back to that, I'd be thrilled. ( )

Listened to the audiobook. It was a fun listen. Not enough vampires. :D ( )

maybe I'll buy the book and read it instead of listening to this audiobook. after discussing Anita's bra size I just couldn't take it any more. I do miss Jean Claude, though.
