Publisher Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton offers a sexy, suspenseful novel of human—and inhuman—passions, as vampire hunter Anita Blake must repay a favor to a man almost as dangerous as the ancient evil she's about to face. . . . Edward is a hit man, specializing in monsters, vampires, shapeshifters, anything and everything. There are people like Anita who do it legal, but Edward doesn't sweat the legalities, or, hell, the ethics. He's an equal opportunity killer.  Anita may be one of the few friends that Edward has, but it’s like being friends with a tame leopard. It may curl up on the foot of your bed and let you pet its head, but it can still rip your throat out. . . .

"I didn't think I'd like this book because the "boys" didn't really play a part in it, but I really enjoyed it! I was pretty indifferent to Edward--was neither a fan but didn't dislike him, but from the start of this book, my interest into his character was peaked. "

    " The 9th book in this series was only a 3/5 for me. While there were gems that were wonderful, I was pretty bored with this one. The parts that I loved were that we got further development of Edward/Ted and saw more of how Anita and he are more alike than different. I REALLY do not like the whole ideal of Olaf/Otto - I understand that he comes into play in later books but I find it hard to believe that Anita wouldn't have just killed him once she realized what he really was. She's killed others for a lot less. Plus, I got really bored with the gun stand-off every five minutes. I missed Jean-Claude and Richard and Jason and the rest of the St. Louis crew. Was it still a good read? Yes, but just not as good as some of the others in the series. But if you're going through the series you really do have to read this one as Anita does learn some skills that are vitally important to later adventures. "
