I've never read a writer with a more fertile imagination' DIANA GABALDON An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, novella from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author. FOR FANS OF CHARLAINE HARRIS AND ANNE RICE. My name is Anita Blake. I'm a U. S. Marshal for the Preternatural Branch, and I always have my friend's back. Even when they ask me to risk everything... Rafael, king of the wererats, is facing a challenge to his crown. He wants me, one of his closest allies, to help him take down a dangerous opponent unlike any he's fought before. But some of the wererats fear that Rafael is too dependent on me and my ties to the vampire world. They believe that there is only room in America for one supernatural king, and that Rafael will abandon them as prey for the bloodsuckers. A new challenger has arisen among Rafael's enemies... one who is younger, hungrier and has dark secrets that could destroy both the wererats and the vampires. Now, my friend must go into the magical heart of his people to find the power and violence that he needs to save them all - or die trying. Readers can't get enough of the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, series: 'Anita Blake novels are my addiction' 'Vampires, zombies and guns, oh my!' 'I have loved every single book in this amazing series, have fallen in love and lust with many characters and desperately hope that there will be more' 'I am hooked' 'I couldn't love Anita and her adventures with the supernatural community any more

When I saw that this was on NetGalley I got excited. Even though I got declined for an arc of the story I just used it as a friendly reminder that the next book would be out. Short, quick read. Felt rushed in parts and dragged on in others. Wish the author would find a balance in the way the story progresses. She tends to drag out descriptions and history that we don't really need or at least I didn't considering that this is book 28 and I have read them all to date. Some parts were really well written and some parts could have used some tender love and care. I felt as though Anita has become more compliant where it comes to her relationships. I didn't think Anita would acquiesce to her relationships as easily I am so used to her being a spitfire. I know that Anita has her regulars and that poly is a big theme in this series but some of it comes across forced. Don't hate me I will pick up book 29 with a big smile if it is anything like book 27, I loved the story and crime-fighting of 27. I just wish there was a little bit more to the story my favorite parts were from chapter 24 until the end. I only hope that Neva is in the next book the witch is my favorite new addition to the series. With all this being said this is going to be my first Anita Blake book that is getting a 3-star review.
