Product Description
The Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter backlist takes flight with a whole new look.
In her ninth adventure, vampire hunter Anita Blake owes a favor to a friend-a man nearly as treacherous as the very ancient evil she’s about to face.Amazon.com Review
Anita Blake, the tough, sexy vampire executioner, zombie animator, and police consultant for preternatural crimes in St. Louis, hunts monsters in New Mexico in the ninth book of Laurell K. Hamilton’s brilliant series. Edward, Anita’s mentor in killing, questions Anita to return the favor that she has owed him since she killed a backup he brought in to protect her. He needs Anita’s preternatural expertise as well as her firepower. Something is skinning and mutilating a few of its chosen victims, and dismembering others. Edward has no thought what creature could be reliable for such heinous crimes.
Summoning Anita has its downside for Edward, since it means letting her onto his turf. Anita is surprised to find that this normally aggressive man has a personal life, and shocked by his ability to be entirely different from the stone cold killer she’s known. She also has problems with the cop in charge in Albuquerque, who believes her powers must be evil, and with the additional backups Edward has brought in. Most of all, she has to deal with her own vulnerability–she’s tried to shut down her ties to her vampire and werewolf lovers and go it alone, but it turns out to be harder than she thought.
Anita’s usual supporting cast is missing, and she’s taking time out from her complex like life, but there’s plenty of bloody action, vampires, werewolves, and Aztec ritual. Plus a lot more about Edward. Fans will find this installment similar to the earlier books in the series, particularly The Laughing Corpse. –Nona Vero.

Tho I liked Edward’s tale, I was deeply disappointed by the book alltogether. Kept reading in the hope that eventually somewhere Jean Claude will appear. Going through the whole thing, lacking him was painful.If this is the last book in the series. I feel let down. I feel like a kid on Xmas day finding an empty box under the tree. As much pleasure I got from all the books before this, I expected the same. It is Jean Claude that keeps me enchanted, I’m not as fond of Richard. But even
Richard’s presence would have made this book worth reading. I know that readers have no right to demand that the leader provide us with what we want to read. But still.I’m sure we all want Jean Claude in the tale not just for half a page. The unforgettable scenes from the previous books when he was so perfectly present, so detailed that I could nearly touch him. And now a whole entire book lacking him, waaaaah!

I have no thought how anyone could read this all the way through. It’s nothing more than a cheap romance novel with a vampire hunter as the main character. The supernatural setting, which is supposed to set this series apart, isn’t even highlighted or detailed well! It’s just background noise to the silly soap-opera-esque romance plot! This is worse than Anne Rice’s Interview With A Vampire! Run away! Run away!

I just wanted to say that I am also a huge fan of Laurell Hamilton. When I first went to the book store to pick up a new sci-fi book I didn’t know what to look for. But when I saw the take in of her first book for the Anita Series I was already hooked, when I read the back of the take in I was already walking to the counter. Along with that book I selected up the additional 2 or 3 that were also published. When I got home and opened up the first book to my amazment I was really looking at her signature on the first page. Which I personally thought was fantastic. Because I didn’t even open up the book to skim it a small. Just went by the back take in. On the first page in the book it said “Pleased Reading:) Laurell K. Hamilton” along with the date. I still have the book and every now and then I’ll go back and look at it and laugh. Thinking how lucky I am to really have her autograph and I haven’t even met her…..Yet:) Thanx Laurell for giving St. Louis, a whole new perspective. Keep up the excellent work and I can’t wait to read Obsidian Butterfly.

This is not the worse book written by LKH, but this is the turning-point in the tale line when the main character, Anita Blake starts her downward spiral into sexual depravity. The book overall is excellent; I loved getting to know the supporting character Edward more in-depth and learning more about his nonstop relationship with Anita. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys vampire novels, but be wary of the novels that come after this one; they just become one huge sex orgy.

I’ve read all of Laurell K Hamilton’s books. I’ve loved every one of them. What makes it hard to read this review is that it’s a name bashing a writer that I like. To me it doesn’t matter about the jargon, I like the characters, the writing style and the plot that went along with the entire tale. It was more a tale about a man that Anita’s known for a few years and hasn’t known anything, really anything, about this man who’s saved her life on many occasions.
What’s more, Anne Rice and Stephen King write horror novels, Laurell K is writing something that is far from horrific, granted there are some gory scenes in many of the novels she’s written since 1994, but it’s not overly terrible. What gripes my butt is the guy thinks he’s a know-it-all and he’s a better leader. Of course there may be SOME discrepancies, but that doesn’t mean she should be banned completely, or at all. I own just about every book she’s ever place out, these as well as the Meredith Gentry series, and I delight in every one of them.
What I loved best about Obsidian Butterfly was that we did get into Edwards life more. We got to see exactly who he was and got a small more insight into the kind of person he could become with the right family tree. Although, I do agree with Anita, the family tree he’s chosen isn’t the family tree for him, but again, if he was to place this family tree, it could mess the family tree up for the rest of the children’s’ natural lives…
What gripes me is that James Frohnhofer “fijimf” states in his review title that she should be stopped from ever writing again. It’s obvious to me that he’s never read anything else of hers or if he did, he’s linked all her novels together under the same review.
I won’t read Anne Rice, I can’t get through her thick use of language. It’s hard for me to wade through all the wordy descriptions and the use of language tends to bog me down. No, I’m not stupid or an idiot, but I find her books hard to read. If they don’t grab my attention within the first paragraph, and then hold it within the first five chapters… I won’t read it. Stephen King’s the same way for me, although I have read clear through at least ONE of his books, but it was the same way, I had to wade through a lot of unnecessary stuff just to get to the excellent parts.
I don’t have to do that with Laurell K… which is a excellent part of the reason I’ve agreed her five stars. Another is the humor. I like the humor in her books and it makes me want to try and imitate her style. It’s light-hearted but gets serious when it needs too…That’s what I like.
SO, James Frohnhofer “fijimf”, eat your heart out…
