Gosh. I was extremely annoyed by this book. I started this series, and I intend to finish it, but my disappointment is staggering. This is by far my least favorite book out of the 14 up to this point. I am so cross about it, I really do not even know where to begin. Instead of a return to crime mystery, there is nothing. Anita's job with the Marshal Service, nor her job as a necromancer are involved in this book. Instead, Anita has a pregnancy scare, and how could she not with as much unprotected sex as she has. Of course, there could be a slew of potential fathers: Richard (ew), Jean-Claude, Nathaniel, Asher, Damien... There are tons of back and forth arguments about what to do and who is doing what and all of the possible problems that can arise from this particular issue. Her powers continue to increase. There are, shocker, more vampire political problems. And a lot of blow jobs. So many blow jobs. I am just not pleased at all with this book.
