horror--2 1/2 stars. sixth book in the Anita Blake series. In this book, Anita has sex for the first time in the series and I lost a lot of respect for her. I thought she made a lot of bad choices and seemed a lot weaker in this book than in previous ones. I'll stick with the series for one more book to see how bad it gets, but I'm not guaranteeing that I'll read farther than that in the series.
