Another masterpiece from Laurell K. Hamilton. The reason so many people are a big fan of her books isn't just because her books have interesting therms, characters or even storyline. Yes that's a big part of why we all love her books, but if it wasn't for her writing style and her ability to make a reader picture the world she created then and feel like we're a part of it, then we may never have read past the first book.

Harlequin didn't just have sex and death it had memorable characters like Edward and Olaf. Both are the kind of sociopaths and psychopaths you can have nightmares about. Yes the Harlequin are scary, but Olaf's the kind of serial killer that you know exists....and that is why her books have a different level of scary. You can differentiate between Vampires being fantasy and a person like Olaf being real.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down. If it wasn't for work, kids and sleep I would have finished it faster. Still reading a book this size in about 3-4 days meant I truly loved it. I hope everyone else does too.
