Blood Noir ~ Laurell Hamilton

I keep coming back to this one, I really enjoy it. I think it is partly because it is mostly just Anita and Jason, two charicters I really like, but I also like the appearance that Richard makes and some of the developements between Richard and Anita… Anita spends far less time fighting her powers and the changes that may be required because of them in this book, which is another thing I really like. I did not miss the constant angst that Anita seems to cause herself over every development.
