Helpful Score: 1

Much much deeper development of Edward as a character and his friendship with Anita. Finally someone she doesn't need to sleep with to keep in her life. An insane friendship with as many threats as olive branches but very Anita Blake. In terms of the series, it's an important book because she develops some new powers, advances her friendship with Edward (Ted Forrester) and we establish a creepy character whom we see again in one or two future books. It's certainly key to the series.

That said, I'm rereading entire series right now. When I reached this book I decided it wasn't worth a re-read. Story doesn't really advance her romantic relationships and while I like Edward, I don't need to read about what happens with the future step-children again. I also found her dynamic with the cops really annoying. I sure hope real cops aren't as misogynistic as the the characters in this book.
