As consultant to the Regional Preternatural Crime Investigation Unit, Anita Blake is called in on what appears to be a case involving a serial killer - a vampire serial killer - who may be preying on strippers. She's sure that none of the local vamps are responsible, but her judgement may be clouded by a conflict of interests. For she is, after all, the consort of Jean-Claude, the ever-intoxicating Master Vampire of the City - something both her human friends and her ex, the alpha werewolf Richard, are quick to point out. Surrounded by suspicion and overwhelmed by her attempts to control her own primal lusts for vampire, werewolf and shapeshifter, Anita is about to be pushed to her limits - and beyond.

Okay this is the end of the line for me. No more. I was binging on these as I was in an urban fantasy nostalgia kick and I'd never tried the ‘grandmother' of urban fantasy, but ... holy crap these have been going downhill. I don't think I can read anymore.
Overall I enjoyed this book. I had been anticipating more action with Jean-Claude, Anita, & Asher but didn't get that here. I also feel that a lot was missed with Damien, he came and went so quickly leaving me wondering where he all fit into the rest. There was a lot of meaningless sex in the middle, well, not completely meaningless as I understand the need for understanding her lack of control. For me it was a little over the top in the middle of the book. Toward the end I feel like everything came together and has left me anxiously waiting for the next book.
