Laurell K. Hamilton

"A brutal murder, a suspect in jail, and an execution planned, but what if the wrong person is about to be executed? When a fellow U.S. Marshal asks Anita Blake to fly to a tiny community in Michigan's Upper Peninsula on an emergency consult, she knows time is running short. When she gets there, there is plenty of proof that a young wereleopard killed his uncle in the most gruesome and bloodiest way possible. As the mounting evidence points to him, a warrant of execution is already under way. But something seems off about the murder, and Anita has been asked to examine the crime scene and the evidence for her expert opinion. Despite the escalating pressure from local cops and the family's cries for justice for their dead patriarch, Anita quickly realizes that the evidence doesn't quite add up. But with a tight-knit community up in arms and fear against supernaturals growing, time is almost up, as Anita races to uncover the truth and determine whether the Marshals have caught the killer or are about to execute an innocent man, all in the name of justice."--

Why do I keep reading these books? Simply because Kimberly Alexis is a fantastic narrator. 


This is the first book in the Anita Blake series that I've enjoyed listening to since probably Obsidian Butterfly. While the sex is discussed, it is missing from the story, leaving much more room for an actual plot. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude and I love that the series is part of the reverse harem, but sometimes it's just nice to take a break from it and see a glimpse of what the old Anita Blake books used to be about...solving crime.


Anita seems to be growing up and is more cognizant of her personal issues and is much more willing to work through them. She's still flawed, but I found myself not getting exasperated with her nearly as much as I used to. 

Edward and Olaf fans may enjoy this book! If you're a big fan of Jean-Claude and the rest of the "poly group", this may not be the book for you.

I love it when the humans are more 'monster' than the shifters and vampires.
