Header PromotionThe Latest Anita Blake
#17 in the series. A bit slower paced than some of the previous installlments. Anita's got more junk to wade through than normal as she breaks Vegas Metro into her brand of investigating, and they've got more magic to smack her around with than St Louis PD. The culmination of Marmee Noir and Vittorio's storylines end here, I'm not sure how I feel about those. The sex scenes are getting vague, funny I think I miss the explicit ones. I couldn't help wonder if the change to more horror based covers is the cause or vice versa. There's more growth inside of Anita and honestly it was refreshing to see her away from Jean-Claude. The overall story was interesting and I've got plans to reread it sometime soon. Now I gotta say this about the new cover style. Skin Trade and Blood Noir covers are bizarre (I don't like them) and I'm not entirely sure how they fit with the series.
Blurb (from bn.com): When a vampire serial killer sends Anita Blake a grisly souvenir from Las Vegas, she has to warn Sin City's local authorities what they're dealing with. Only it's worse than she thought. Ten officers and one executioner have been slain—paranormal style. Anita heads to Vegas, where's she's joined by three other federal marshals, including the ruthless Edward. It's a good thing he always has her back, because when she gets close to the bodies, Anita senses "tiger" too strongly to ignore it. The weretigers are very powerful in Las Vegas, which means the odds of her rubbing someone important the wrong way just got a lot higher.

I agree...
I agree I liked Anita away from JC and her other men. They just drag her down. They are weak. She needs to be with someone like Edward who is more her equal. But like she said they are too close.....it would be like kissing your brother.
