The early Anita Blake novels find new life in trade paperback-as perfect collectibles for long-time fans or as great ways for new readers to sink their teeth into the series.

Superb

I loved the Anita Blake series and was thrilled to reconnect with the stories here. Kimberly Alexis does a wonderful job bringing the story to life! Though the second in the series, I am eagerly looking forward to snagging the rest of the books!

Excellent character development

Boy, do things ramp up for Anita in this book. She’s dealing with Harold Gaynor, the millionaire psychopath; the Police and a murdering zombie; Dominga Salvador the psychopathic voodoo queen; a murdered colleague; and a slightly desperate Master of the City. And everyone wants to use her skills and knowledge. Amazing world building, plot and characters. Ok, amazing writing.
There couldn’t be a more perfect narrator for this series than Kimberly Alexis.

Jean Claude’s voice has gotten a bit better in the narrators fake French accent, you can tell she put effort to make him sound a little less comical in the second book of the Anita Blake series. The storyline was a lot more fun this book vs. the first. Great listen/read for supernatural fans!

Voiceover better than last book

I always like Anita Blake. She has some great friends both kinds of friends! Fun!
