kommer älska Anmäl dig till LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Fans of Anita Blake will not be disappointed in this installment to the series. I think its her best, by far, and things started to go in strange directions a book or two after this one. As a long time fan, I highly recommend this book. ( )"Obsidian Butterfly” e’ incentrato quasi completamente sul personaggio di Edward, al punto che, a parte lui ed Anita, non vi appare nessuno dei personaggi noti dai libri precedenti. Le vicende e la risoluzione finale del romanzo hanno uno stile piu’ adatto al killer che non alla risvegliante, pur lasciando il consueto largo spazio a vampiri e licantropi. This is where I originally thought people should stop with this series, until I read Skin Trade. In this novel, Anita is called on by Edward to help him solve a series of gruesome murders in New Mexico. The geography influences the story, though the mystery revolves around Obsidian Butterfly, an Aztec vampire. Anita gains powers as she deals with the dead and another necromancer. Olaf, one of Edward's backups, is as scary as any of the monsters, while Bernard, the other backup is pretty much just filler. The gun violence ramps up considerably, but we do get some insights into Edward. More of Anita's conscience is dying, though, as she grows closer and closer to Edward's style of sociopath. Anita goes to New Mexico to help her, ummm, colleague Edward with a case of his own. Lots of violence and gore, and some very interesting character development. This is the last good Anita Blake novel. After this the series descends into porn, so don't waste your money. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

| Bokbeskrivning |
|
Summoning Anita has its downside for Edward, since it means letting her onto his turf. Anita is surprised to find that this normally aggressive man has a personal life, and shocked by his ability to be entirely different from the stone cold killer she's known. She also has problems with the cop in charge in Albuquerque, who believes her powers must be evil, and with the other backups Edward has brought in. Most of all, she has to deal with her own vulnerability--she's tried to shut down her ties to her vampire and werewolf lovers and go it alone, but it turns out to be harder than she thought.
Anita's usual supporting cast is missing, and she's taking time out from her complex love life, but there's plenty of bloody action, vampires, werewolves, and Aztec ritual. Plus a lot more about Edward. Fans will find this installment similar to the earlier books in the series, particularly The Laughing Corpse. --Nona Vero.
