Title: All sex, no plot. A waste of money...
Review: Sadly, Hamilton's books continue to go downhill, and this one is no exception. Too much talky sex, with a bit of plot thrown in as an after-thought. Hamilton used to research her books by studying police procedure, firearms handling, and mysticism. Now she "studies" a manual of sexual positions (really, she said so herself!). On her fan site, Hamilton reported that she was "studying" such a manual looking for a position she hadn't used in a book yet, although she bragged that she and her new husband already knew most of them. Well, whoo-hoo for her. Anita Blake has degenerated from a tough yet likeable character into a vehicle for Hamilton's lame sexual fantasies, and the mystery/suspense/horror that made the books so engaging has gone out the window. Save your money. If you want a good read, go pick up the old books from a second-hand store.
