About this ebook
Vampire hunter Anita Blake has always managed to overcome everything she faces. But this time there’s a monster that even she doesn’t know how to fight...
A remote Florida island is the perfect wedding destination for the upcoming nuptials of Anita’s fellow U.S. Marshal and best friend, Edward. For Anita, the vacation is a welcome break, as it’s the first trip she gets to take with just wereleopards Micah and Nathaniel. But it’s not all fun and games and bachelor parties…
In this tropical paradise, Micah discovers a horrific new form of lycanthropy, one that has afflicted a single family for generations. Believed to be the result of an ancient Greek curse, it turns human bodies into a mass of snakes.
When long-simmering resentment leads to a big blow-up within the wedding party, the last thing Anita needs is more drama. But it finds her anyway when women start disappearing from the hotel, and worse, her own friends and lovers are considered the prime suspects. There’s a strange power afoot that Anita has never confronted before, a force that’s rendering those around her helpless. Unable to face it on her own, Anita is willing to accept help from even the deadliest places. Help that she will most certainly regret—if she survives at all, that is…

I was excited when I saw that this book was over 500 pages. I was very excited! But there were about 400 pages of everyday things...no real story on the antagonists. Ending was convoluted. However, I was at page 467 without realizing it. Laurell can definitely tell a story, and the characters are strong enough to carry that story...even if the story isn't all that remarkable. Crimson Death was much better than this. Needed way more action, more magic, more...umph!

Worst one in the series. I love the Anita Blake books. I've read the series at least 4 times in total. But this book is an absolute waste of time. If you're going to write, especially in this series, then make it worth reading. It was utterly useless. I want my 2 days back, seriously.

I would have giving it 5 stars. I'm just tired of 1-person. 25 years and
28(I think) books and short stories I'm just getting tired of first person.
If they allow me to I will edit in a spoiler I will add 30 days from this
review. I have about 3 or 4 things that I think made this book less than
perfect
