Synopsis

In her twenty-fifth adventure, vampire hunter and necromancer Anita Blake learns that evil is in the eye of the beholder...
 
Anita has never seen Damian, her vampire servant, in such a state. The rising sun doesn’t usher in the peaceful death that he desperately needs. Instead, he’s being bombarded with violent nightmares and blood sweats. 
 
And now, with Damian at his most vulnerable, Anita needs him the most. The vampire who created him, who subjected him to centuries of torture, might be losing control, allowing rogue vampires to run wild and break one of their kind’s few strict taboos.
 
Some say love is a great motivator, but hatred gets the job done, too. And when Anita joins forces with her friend Edward to stop the carnage, Damian will be at their side, even if it means traveling back to the land where all his nightmares spring from...a place that couldn’t be less welcoming to a vampire, an assassin, and a necromancer: Ireland.

Goodreads review by 1-Click Addict Support Group on September 02, 2016

I don't always know why I keep reading this series. For one thing, at this point, I know what everyone looks like. I have them so ingrained into my brain after a million books that I don't need a full reminder of each character in every new installment. I get that there is a complicated poly-relatio......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on October 27, 2016

Personal recommendation: don't go into this expecting much of anything, and then you'll be pleasantly surprised. Of course, after the last book, where I got so frustrated I actually gave it a single star and a rant, where I told myself I was stopping the series altogether, I fully didn't expect to pi......more

Goodreads review by Terri ♥ (aka Mrs. Christian Grey) on October 18, 2016

Wow, well first I thought I might DNF. It had been so long, I wasn't sure I could survive Anita's head. Her obsessive need to have an hour long conversation during a thirty second walk to the bathroom annoyed me and about broke me. I dislike Anita very much and have from the beginning of the series.......more
