Skin Trade-Laurell K. Hamiton

Anita Blake receives a gift from an enemy still on the loose. This gift leads her to Sin City where she meets up with some old friends to hunt the killer. As always, Anita makes some new enemies as well.

I liked this book because there was less sex and more personal confrontation for Anita. She has gone through this long, arduous process as a character, that many of us go through-finding ourselves and where we fit in our lives. She is starting to question if she can do her job well due to the fact that she is now one of the "monsters". She is also pondering how she can juggle all the men in her life effectively while trying not to lose herself in the process of becoming whoever or whatever she is. Lots of action and a good story line keep this book moving at a decent pace.

Hi Helena how have you been? I've really lost interest in the Anita Blake books but I'm hearing such good things about this one I might just have to read it.

Hi Shannon. I've been...living is the best way I can put it. This recent book is very much like her first ones-less sex and more action. Very interesting book all said.

I am reading CW Gortner's book right now which s fabulous. About Juan the Mad of Spain.

Take care.
