If I had ever wanted to give in to hysterics, it was then.
How do you fight something with no body to kill? How do you fight something
that can possess the most powerful vampires in the world and use them like
puppets?

Synopsis
My name is Anita
Blake and I am back in St Louis and trying to live a normal life—as normal as possible
for someone who is a legal vampire executioner and a US Marshal. In the midst
of such ordinary happiness a vampire from my past reaches out. She was supposed
to be dead, killed in an explosion, but the Mother of All Darkness is the first
vampire, the dark creator, and it’s hard to kill a god.
The Mother of All
Darkness believes that the triumvirate created by master vampire Jean-Claude
with me and the werewolf Richard Zeeman has enough power for her to regain a
body and to emigrate to the New World. But the body she wants to possess is
already taken; I’m about to learn a whole new meaning to sharing my body, one
that has nothing to do with the bedroom. And if the Mother of All Darkness
can’t succeed in taking over my body for herself, she means to see that no one
else has the use of it, ever again. Even Belle Morte, not always a friend to
me, had sent word: ‘Run if you can...’
Thoughts
This
is a part one in a two part finally with Mother of All Darkness.
This
book dives right in with a domestic with Jean Claude and Asher, which ends up
brings Anita and her other men into the mix, and ends with Richard ending up in
bed with them all again. It’s okay, and takes up a big crunch of the first part
of the book, and ends with warnings and knowledge that Anita and her
triumvirate in constant danger.
The
whole set of this book is pretty much centred in the Circus of the Damned, and
holds pretty much all of her men. At least you get to see them all at least
once.
There’s
killings, fights, blood and sex, pretty much the usual when it comes to Anita’s
world.
We
even get a new pet tiger—hell, two.
A
lot of her time is spent with Nicky and Damian, mostly because they can’t talk
if she says no. So she’s safe to say anything around them.
Um....honestly
I have read this a book a few times, not my favourite, but I always like to
read something twice, and then I read it again just before the next one came
out, and again today just before this. And still this is all I really remember
of it.
It’s
very full and yet doesn’t really hold anything that interesting, just them
freaking out, them getting caught up in the drama of Mother Darkness.
I
like it, and I don’t, but I do remember that when I first read it I was really disappointed
that there wasn’t an end to the book, there’s always an end, this one...didn’t
have it, the whole thing was left open. Which I get—got—but it still really annoyed
me.
