Basically, this whole story is all about sex and assassins, and Anita having a HUGE fucking breakdown. The story starts off with Anita on her way to a dance recital that two of her sweeties, one of her leopards and "adopted" nephew from one of Jean-Claude's dead vampires. Laurell K Hamilton decided to bring back Monica who I had completely forgotten about. She despises Anita but puts on a show in front of the others and Jean Claude. Anita adores Matthew and he is well loved by everyone and wants big boy kisses from Anita because "all the big boys kiss Nita". During the show, Asher is having attitude problems and Anita is getting irritated that she doesn't know what's going on.
She eventually finds out that Asher is threatening to leave St. Louis and take his were hyenas with him. Basically he is doing this because Jean Claude won't have sex with him, because Jean Claude doesn't want to disgust and betray Anita's trust by sleeping with Asher behind her back. Richard comes back into the picture and plays his part of the triumvirate and doesn't whine about it.... FUCKING FINALLY!!!
The main big problem of the story is that Mommie Dearest has possessed each of the council members and wants to kill Jean Claude for trying to create a council in America. The only way to defeat the Mother of All Darkness is to create a council and take over every master vampire or gain the trust and leadership of the American master vampires.
The BIG problem that I had in this book and that has aggravated me in all her other books is that she explains in great detail what every characters is wearing. She took 3-4 pages and wrote about the clothing of every single person in one scene and it was BORING as fuck! I don't care about what they are wearing, get to the story. We don't need to know what they are wearing every 5 minutes or if Jean-Claude is always wearing his leather boots that end at his crotch area.
I ended up giving this book a 3 out of 5 stars just for that. The constant details of what the characters are wearing throughout the whole book is just getting annoying.
