Publisher's summary

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.

Laurell did it again!

I have read every book Laurell has written. The ever-changing world of Anita Blake is my favorite and this one did not disappoint me.

I am very anxious for the next book with Olaf and Edward!

Rafael

Long wait for another worthy read from author Laurell k. Hamilton. I know it is hard to keep a storyline captivating. But, Anita Blake enticing series is and always will be this readers drug addiction.

an excellent addition

A nice, tight story, a wonderful look into the wererats. I really enjoyed the more bitesized story, easier to take in all in one go, and how the "boyfriend" named stories really highlight certain relationship dynamics. it's so fun to see Anita grow as a person but still stay true to her grumpy self
