This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This book was absolutely horrid. First off, Edward didn't even act like Edward. Then you have LKH's aweful attempt to satisfy the whiney babies who claimed Anita wasnt the same as before. (and when I say this I mean the people who dont like the sex)

So here you have a story with less sex, and more plot. Yet the whole time Anita is so whiney that she isnt this kick ass heroine anymore. Even the other characters were whiney.

I would let this slide if it were say RICHARD, but no.. none of her sweethe ...more

HBO should have snatched LKH up years ago. ...more

Hurray for a plot! AND we have a return to police work, yay! Skin Trade wasn't perfect but I'm happier now that Hamilton is cleaning up her act (as is Anita). ...more

I was NOT PLEASED! The only saving grace for the second star was Edward! I hope that LKH pulls her head out of her butt, and at least pays attention to her grammar and repetition for her future books! ...more
