Bloody Bones

Book review time. This is the 5th book in the Anita Blake series. It took me longer than I wanted to read this book, because that week was just hectic and so busy, that I couldn't sit down to read it, and when I did, it was a few pages at a time. Also, this isn't one of my favorite ones because it only includes Richard at the beginning and it is really Jean-Claude heavy, I still gave it a 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.

This book also introduces a new mystical creature. The fey or fairies. The title of the book is of a bar and grill owned by the Bouvier family, who are fey. They are in a legal battle with a company that wants a good amount of property and it is a mass graveyard. The one thing that the Bouvier are keeping a secret is, is that they are the guardian of a monster called Rawhead and Bloody Bones. It's folklore that it eats bad children and it's immortal.

The werewolves take a backseat in this novel and it's more vampire centered. All of this is taking place outside of St. Louis. While Anita is working on her job, she gets a call from Dolph and tells her that there has been a murder by vampire near her. She goes and checks it out and ultimately needs Jean-Claude's help.

They meet the master of the city Seraphina and her little minions and she causes havoc and tries to torture them and all that crap. I'm not going to give much away. Basically at the end, the construction company gets the property they want and Anita is being threatened to get sued.
