Rafael, king of the wererats, must fight to the death to defend his crown. He wants Anita Blake, one of his closest allies, with him as he faces an opponent unlike any he’s faced before. He will ask Anita to risk everything to be at his side....

But some of the wererats fear that Rafael depends too much on Anita and her ties to the vampires. They believe that there is only room in America for one supernatural king, and Rafael will turn them into nothing more than food for the bloodsuckers.

Among his enemies, a new challenger has arisen who is younger, hungrier, and has dark secrets that could destroy both the wererats and the vampires. Rafael will go into the magical heart of his people to find the power and violence that he needs to save them all, or die trying.

absolutely amazing

I loved this one, while shorter the others it focused more on magic that was not just Anita’s but something like her and more. Though I can’t wait to see when she shifts and if she will be able to shift into multiple forms!!! I hope so at least leaps and rest, they are my fav.

Great stand-alone book that gave some time to less-central characters and saw the disposition of an old villain - or two?

Very nice work. Thanks!

Another great book about Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter. The fighting scenes are great. I must say though I do get tired of the sea scenes.

Too short

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love anything and everything Anita Blake, but the cost of this book meant it should have taken me more than a few hours to read it. I expected it to be short, when I read the title, before I saw the price, because the other books like.this, Jason, Micah, etc, were quick reads too. I swear they were cheaper though, more like £4.99. There was so much more that could have gone into the book, more on the rodere and how it worked. More on Rafael's world.

I do have to say, with this one and the last one at least, there is almost all story, with very little sex. I know that the series has always been extremely sexual once Anita started to have sex, the first few books she was still chaste, but then the length of the books ended up being less story, and more sex. It started to feel like there was at least 3-4 sex scenes before you hit page 50. so maybe I shouldn't complain about the length of the books, since it's now a lot more story and a lot less smut and porn. I'd gotten to the point where I started skimming through the sex scenes, feeling like that's all there was, and it didn't even enhance the books, instead it just !add them longer. The last book felt like there wasn't any sex at all, it has gone back to story, like in Guilty Pleasures. I

So yeah, I'm complaining about the book being too short for the price, but I'm also raving about the fact that the book isn't half smut/porn. Can't wait for the next full length book. Hopefully with a wedding or two in it. Which of course means it will be heavy handed again on the sex, but hopefully the story is there too .

I'll still buy anything and everything she writes, so I am a bit biased towards her and her books.

Good but...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 14, 2021

Hamilton’s creativity is great in this addition to the series as always and yet it’s unfortunately tainted by two faults. The first is that for a professionally published novel, this had far too many errors including some really basic spell check errors and wrong words. Some proof reader somewhere should get a disciplinary for missing these. The second fault is that we appear to be missing a chapter or at least a scene. We seem to go from Anita, Jean-Claude and Asher holding each other to suddenly Rafael is Anita’s rat to call with no idea how that actually happened. If the editor decided that it was a necessary cut then, again someone needs a talking to in the publishing house because that really upset the flow of the story. Overall my view is that the editing of this book made it worse not better which is outrageous for Headline. Hamilton should really be having a talk with them about this.

LKH has brought back the Anita I fell in love with

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

The last two books were all about stories, plots and twists not just the sex. I'm loving the fact that LKH brought back one of Anita's awesome power!! She has so many and they need to be showcased which they have been here. I could really do with 4-5 more chapters of this book as it ended too abruptly! I want to know what happen after! The analysis, the breaking down of events, the welcome back meeting, more explanation of the rodere brujas power and how the rodere receive Anita now ... I want to know so so much more of the afterwards! I really hope LKH will do a novella on this ... please pretty please ... oh and that blink you miss it scene of Rafael becoming Anita's animal to call ... totally freaking missed it! That really need a bit of expansion and few pages of its own as it was important! Overall a great read! Welcome back the Old Anita!! Xx

A series in terminal decline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

I bought this book in the expectation, having read reviews, that the author was back in the game and I would see more of the Anita Blake from earlier books in the series. More action, more hardcore. But the entire action sequence in this book fundamentally boils down to one small section of the book and one scene. The rest of the book is more of the same relationship based derivative nonsense that we’ve seen in her later books. It’s boringly repetitive. It’s as if the author takes sentences and paragraphs from earlier novels and just drops them in. The author has run out of ideas and inspiration and has simply ruined a great character. She should move on to something else. So I’m extremely disappointed having expected more. I’m done with the series.I won’t be buying another novel from this author. She’s lost her mojo. But thank you for your earlier novels which were simply wonderful reading!

Rafael is in trouble.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 9, 2021

Rafael has been receiving multiple challenges to his right to rule over the Rodere ——- the rats——- yes, he is the King but any rat may challenge him for the throne if enough of the populace agree with the challenger. He is facing one such challenge tonight, but this one has him worried, for reasons which he finally confides to Anita. He asks Anita to go with him to the challenge to bear witness to his battle ———- which will be to the death ————— the situation is dire enough but then it is discovered there is treachery involved, Rafael’s chances of survival are getting smaller and smaller. And Anita, she’s just supposed to sit there and watch. They don’t know Anita.

amazing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 1, 2022

Was a fabulous book that gave a brilliant insight into Raphael and worked on strengthening the relationship with Anita and the polycule.

For the squeamish ones who complain that the books contain too much sex, this one doesn’t and instead focuses on the drive that Raphael needs to remain as a good king to the rodere. Links back to previous enemies and maybe not enemies - awesome read as usual and as expected by Laurell K Hamilton xxx
