katikatAnita has fallen for the leader of a local pack of werewolves. She's survived a lot, but this love thing may kill her yet.
Review: I freely admit that I have problems with Hamilton's writing. You see, she has a great gift for tense plotting and engaging writing. But instead of utilizing her talents, she turns her books into ridiculous will-they-won't-they soaps. Basically, this book was all about Anita facing off Jean-Claude on the one hand and mulling over Richard on the other. And the back and forth of that quickly became more than annoying. The plot itself - the search for the killer - took what? 60 pages? Everything else was shipping or gratuitous gore. Anita being all obnoxious and uppity, especially towards Richard, was... Ugh. I can understand her misgivings. But not her hypocrisy.
Well, I will probably read the next book in the series but for once I'm glad that I'm simply borrowing these books and not owning them - I'm quite sure that I won't be doing any actual re-reads.
