Another great addition to the series. I was pleased to see Edward back in the story and enjoyed that his character had become more in depth. This is definitely a series for people who like this genre and not for those looking for something boring and ordinary. The main characters have depth and I like the fact that Hamilton takes time to describe their thoughts, actions and emotions instead of just being vague. Anita is a thoroughly thought out person who has so many of the same emotions and problems that it's easy to see her as "real" and relate to the things she has to go through. A wonderful story!

On a plot hole note...
Does anyone who read these ever wonder why the vampires are considered citizens where it can be murder for killing them, but the lycanthropes don't seem to fall under this protective law? The books say that they have a disease, like AIDS, and shouldn't be discriminated against yet are still considered "varmits" (in some states ;P) and can be shot on sight as long as blood tests prove they're a lycanthrope. The werewolves even have a power system where killing the leader is okay (and has to be known by the authorities) to become pack leader, yet that's okay. As is a lot of killing of other lycanthropes. I mean really, where's the ACLU (or would that be LCLU?) when you need them?
