It could have been so much better. The plot is confused, new characters pop up here and there without following any specific patterns and one third of the pages are about whose tool is largest, harder and lasts longer.

It could have been so much better. The plot is confused, new characters pop up here and there without following any specific patterns and one third of the pages are about whose tool is largest, harder and lasts longer. After much moaning, sighing, purring, touching and overthinking about gang bangs and hot sex, the novel ends abruptly in a sort of wannabe slaughterhouse where Anita-the-Grinder faces an enemy who could have been developed as a character much deeper and better. A mess. Mixing up gothic lore, sex and action in a written pulp soap-opera is intriguing and you have fun reading it but I hope Hamilton is able to keep things together and avoid turning her Anitaworld into "Anita in Sexland".

If it's even possible, this one is even better than the last in the series! The story line just keeps getting more and more involved. I have the hardest time putting this series down.

You know it's a good book when you want to stay up and read even though you've got stuff you have to do in the morning. This series (in my honest opinion) is light years better than Twilight.

all'inizio non mi convinceva molto, invece andando avanti mi è piaciuto e ora devo dire che è addirittura uno dei miei preferiti della serie di Anita! mi dispiace che con Richard non vada mai a finire bene, cmq tutto quello che lui fa è in linea con il personaggio, cioè se Richard fosse xfetto x Anita sarebbe tutto troppo facile e la storia non andrebbe più avanti...xciò...diciamo che va bene così!
x ora come personaggio Micah non mi dispiace, ma aspetto gli sviluppi nei prossimi libri! cmq secondo me la cosa migliore di questo libro è Nathaniel, decisamente, mi sono troppo fissata con lui e ora è uno dei miei personaggi preferiti, adoro che sia diventato più "una persona" e che venga più considerato come tale!
un'altra cosa che mi piace molto è che secondo me la Hamilton descrive molto bene e fa capire i rapporti tra i vari personaggi, anche rapporti che sono davvero complicati e insoliti!
***Quotes***
“Okay, so he’s a werewolf. No one’s perfect. Date him, sleep with him, marry him. My vote’s for Richard.”
“I took one step backwards and fell on the small step leading down to the dance floor. Someone caught me before I hit the floor, strong arms around my waist, pressing me against the bare skin of a very masculine chest. I could feel that without looking. I was held effortlessly, feet dangling, and I knew those arms, the feel of that chest, the smell of his skin this close. I craned my head backwards and found myself staring at Richard.”
“[…] As if everything had changed, because I had changed. I knew better. I knew that no matter how bad you feel, or what horrible thing happens to you, that the world just keeps on going. That the rest of the world doesn’t even realize that the monsters are eating your heart.”
“Life really is good, even if you are dead.”
