  <default_description>When a vampire serial killer sends Anita Blake a grisly souvenir from Las Vegas, she has to warn Sin City&#8217;s local authorities what they&#8217;re dealing with. Only it&#8217;s worse than she thought. Ten officers and one executioner have been slain&#8212;paranormal style. Anita heads to Vegas, where&#8217;s she&#8217;s joined by three other federal marshals, including the ruthless Edward. It&#8217;s a good thing he always has her back, because when she gets close to the bodies, Anita senses &#8220;tiger&#8221; too strongly to ignore it. The weretigers are very powerful in Las Vegas, which means the odds of her rubbing someone important the wrong way just got a lot higher.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[While it's true that I liked this book better than any of them since Obsidian Butterfly, there were still a lot of frustraing things about it.  Fist off, there was the repetative &quot;testing&quot; of Anita by the LV police.  It really wasn't anything but an excuse to show just how super strong Ani...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63478881">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Anybody who reads Laurell K. Hamilton knows that she is um well very vivid with her sex scenes. I picked up my first Anita Blake series by reading an anthology with other authors and LKH anthology was like the first chapter to Narcissus in Chains so I had to go get it and read the whole thing and th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61069979">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Laurell, Laurell, Laurell...<br/><br/>My feelings are so conflicted these days when it comes to her books. I bounce back and forth between praise as this was a good addition since Danse Macabre and disgust because this was a good addition after most of the ones that came before Danse Macabre. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61052632">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I swore I wasn't going to read any more of these, but I gave in and bought the Kindle version, since I definitely can't justify the shelf space for the actual hardcover books in this series anymore.  First, the good stuff:  relative to the last couple of books, anyway, this book actually had a PLOT,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59643518">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Skin Trade is enough of a step in the right direction that I'm sorely tempted to give it a higher rating than it actually deserves. There's a plot! With murders! And investigating! And I turned out to be right about Marmee Noir's plans for Anita. And the two explicit sex scenes are better-written an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59408147">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Let me begin my review with the caveat that Laurell K. Hamilton is definitely not for everyone.  She has a lot of graphic sex and violence, and I am aware that over the course of the series she has lost a number of fans.  I am aware of the literary shortcomings that will keep her from appealing to a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59172893">more...</a>]]></body>
