Publisher's summary

The fifth novel in the number one New York Times best-selling series

When Branson, Missouri, is hit with a death wave - four unsolved murders - it doesn't take an expert to realize that all is not well. But luckily for the locals, Anita Blake is an expert in the kinds of preternatural goings-on that have everyone spooked. And she's got an "in" with the creature that can make sense of the slayings - the sexy master vampire known as Jean-Claude.

Love in vein: listen to more tales of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter.

Still Love Anita

I love these audiobooks! I've been reading her books since I was in middle school, I'll be 33 next week. So she's been in my life on and off forever! I've been re-reading (listening) the series. With the audiobooks, I've finally found a way to get my husband into them. We both LOVE these audiobooks. I see people complaining about the sound effects, I love them. The gunshots and the music every once and a while was awesome. Even Bloody Bone's voice.... it was all very well done I thought. I asked my husband today if he wanted to take a break from this series for one book and he was not having it. He wants to finish now... I've created a monster! lol

Absolutely intense

For those readers seeking a listen that you can't turn off, this is the book! When this book hit its climax, I was not able to do anything but listen. It was 03:00 am when it finished and with work the next day, I regretted nothing. Hamilton truly knows how to build her plots with the most interesting twists and turns that the reader be era sees coming. Somehow she is able to make a trigger happy action and almost death seeking character seem real and despite her faults, you come to see her as a true heroine. Thank you again Hamilton, you are a "master" yourself!!!

Could do without the sound effects and the music to me it takes away from the story telling

Stunning

The voice acting is marvelous. The voice actress manipulates her intonation and accent to give every character a distinctive voice. She holds those accents through the entirety of the story.

Sound effects were well done and I enjoyed the music in intense spots.
