"""RAISING THE DEAD IS EASY. LOVE IS HARD..."" There are lots of reasons to raise the dead-some private, some public. In this case, the feds have a witness who died before he could speak on the record. They want him raised so his testimony can be taken. So here I am, on a plane to Philadelphia, flying off to do my job. But I'm not alone. Micah is with me. Micah, head of the St. Louis wereleopard pard. King to my Queen. The only one of my lovers who can stir my blood with just a glance from his chartreuse cat's eyes. I was happy to have him at my side. Until he mentioned that this will be our first time alone together. No Master Vampire. No Alpha Werewolf. Just me and Micah. And all my fears and doubts..."

Not the best Anita Blake book ever, but if you like Micah, you'll like finding out more about his backstory. One nitpick is that this book is only in paperback and looks really funny sitting with all of my hardcover Anita books:(

I'll be honest. This is not the best book of the series. However I don't agree that it is the worst. Yes Laurell CAN limit the amount of sex in the books that seem to be popping up in every chapter, but in this book it does only appear once. Other than the fact that this book is really short ( more like a double spaced essay than a book ) it was still pretty good. It gave us a glimpse back to the Anita that we all know and love. From the call in the middle of the night to the actual animation of a zombie. I was happy to hear more about Micah's backround. We have learned so little of him in previous books that it was overdue. I do hope for a full return of plots like this in the future. I have been a fan since book one, and still enjoy the series. However if the next books in the series don't involve more plot and less .... having Anita try to deal with the ardeur who know's how much longer the truely loyal fans will keep interested in the series. What made Anita a big success was how original it was. But a few more books of just sex and I can see why fans will be on the lookout for the new queen of the night. I will give it another try to finsh up the "loose ends" up with the characters. But I really hope to see a comeback of the executioner!!
