When they arrive Richard is immediately hounded by the other wolves who see him as weak for not killing Marcus in the challenge. They do argue beforehand but Anita feels like she needs to help Stephen and she can’t explain it so he allows her to come even though there was no stopping Anita and it is lucky he did. Shortly after arriving at Richard’s place he gets a message from Stephen telling him that Raina is after him against to make movies and he sounds terrified so obviously Richard and Anita go to rescue him. I was spoiled for this book as a friend told me that Anita sleeps with Jean-Claude in this novel which I am insanely happy with and I am excited to see how we get there but I would have appreciated the surprise since I have been waiting since their meeting in Guilty Pleasures and all the other hints dropped in the previous five books to get to this.Īs we approach the ¼ mark in the novel, the assassination attempt means that Anita is going to stay with Richard for a while and it also means she is going to most likely cancel her date with Jean-Claude which he isn’t going to be happy about.

After returning from a party with Richard she is confronted by a man in her apartment who tries to shoot her and obviously he ends up dead which causes a headache for Anita as she has to explain without letting slip that there are hitmen after her and this one is only going to be the beginning. However, she soon learns that Edward was offered a contract to assassinate her and he is going to turn it down as he feels he can make more money and be more useful protecting Anita which she is grateful for as she knows how lethal Edward is although he isn’t happy about her dating a vampire. The opening to the sixth instalment in the Anita Blake series was interesting as we can see Anita questioning her feelings towards both Richard and Jean-Claude more especially after the events of Bloody Bones.
