4.0

Book 7 of Anita Blake kicks off with Anita being asked to help in an arsonist case, with the fire department thinking it might be a pyrokinetic. In shifter politics, Anita is sort of thrust into the role of protector for the were leopards after taking out their alpha. Some members of a vampire council have come to town, to force Jean Claude to take over a spot for a vampire Anita killed whom was on the council. A vampire by the name of Asher comes with and he has one thing in his mind- revenge against Jean-Claude. This book had a touch more eroticism to it that still flowed rather nicely with the story. There wasn't an epic tense last scene, but a power struggle still went down with Anita and the others being victorious.
