Review Summaries
"Someone has taken out a contract on Anita Blake's life and she must stay alive long enough to figure out who, while being protected by the moderately menacing Edward, and her two part-time boyfriends, vampire Jean-Claude and werewolf Richard. Sub-plot is the evil machinations of the current lupa of the pack and her were-leopard sidekick."
Christine G., Resident Laurell K. Hamilton Scholar
