Obsidian Butterfly

This was definitely not my favorite Anita Blake mostly because we see nothing of Richard or the weres and almost nothing of Jean Claude. ( )

The pinnacle of the Anita Blake series, before it all went downhill. Anita is still tough, funny, and not sleeping with everything that moves. Edward is both the relentless killer, and a real human with weaknesses. ( )

This is the book that should have ended the Anita Blake series. She should have stayed in New Mexico and continued killing all the creepy creatures in the world instead of going back to St. Louis. New readers, stop at this book. Make up some story about why Anita stays in NM and don't bother with the rest of the series. ( )

Anita Blake, vampire hunter, tries to stop gruesome serial dismemberer

out of all the Anita Blake books I've read to date, this one has got to be the most grotesque. It just didn't fit in with the whole Anita Blake world. It was nice to see Edward more, though him having a family was weird still weirds me out but whatever. This was my least favorite books out of the series so far. I can't wait until we are back in the normal Anita world. also going to be really interesting or really annoying on this love triangle and her trying to figure out whom she really loves and what not and the whole part that she only "might" love Jean Claude is a bunch of BULL because if she didn't love him as much as she loves Richard she wouldn't have stayed faithful to Jean Claude as long as she did, and if she wasn't put under that spell or what have ya by what's her face, would she have ever slept with Richard in the first place? But the main thing is she wouldn't be so conflicted if she didn't love him as much and she loves richard. ( )
