A lot of the reviews i saw for this book and some after have been "her books were good up until Obsidian Butterfly, and it's been downhill since." A while ago, when I looked at these reviews, it was a LOT of 1-3 stars. Thank God that changed. DOn't listen to the Naysayers. This book is good. It's Anita. It's interesting to see the other side of Edward, to kinda get in on his world. I appreciated that she wrote a book that further explored Anita and Edward's relationship, and gave more info on Edward...oh, Im sorry, Ted. :-) The only things that bother me about Laurell's Anita Blake series is her lengthy discussion of each character's outfits and weaponry and so forth. Okay, yes, I kinda get it for Jean-Claude since he's kinda gawdy and has the nightclub in stuff, but it's sooooo much in other instances. For exmaple, in this book there is an entire page and a half dedicated to what wepaons Anita is taking with her. Not only that, there are lenghty conversations abuot what to wear. Oh crap, everyone's in black...Bernado, Olaf, Edward....and im in Blue. Is there a dress code? And then she makes smart comments, and ask if its a dress codes...and its like, c'mon. Get to the good stuff. Other than that, it's fine. Her idea for the storyline was great - i saw no flaws in it, and she wrote everything well. I know a lot of fans have complained that Anita acts the same way and she thinks the same as far as her moral struggles, but it's like - hello, she's a person. Fake, yes, but she is supposed to have a realistic quality. People do things all the time and have problems with their morality. I think her writing it in is just telling the fans, it's something she still fights with. I don't think it's an issue. So, I've heard bad things, but so far, I really dont see any bad. (it does weird me out that all the men have long hair. I do however appreciate her trying to put some color into the mix. I can't stand books where white is the only race in them. Hello, there are other cultures/ethnicities out in the real world. Put them in a book. Im glad she did.)
Don't listen to the reviews. If u enjoyed her last book, try the next one. And then u can see for yourself.

Obsidian Butterfly (An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 9) Overview
The Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter backlist takes flight with a whole new look.
In her ninth adventure, vampire hunter Anita Blake owes a favor to a friend-a man almost as dangerous as the ancient evil she's about to face.
Obsidian Butterfly (An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 9) Specifications
Anita Blake, the tough, sexy vampire executioner, zombie animator, and police consultant for preternatural crimes in St. Louis, hunts monsters in New Mexico in the ninth book of Laurell K. Hamilton's excellent series. Edward, Anita's mentor in slaying, asks Anita to return the favor that she has owed him since she killed a backup he brought in to protect her. He needs Anita's preternatural expertise as well as her firepower. Something is skinning and mutilating a few of its chosen victims, and dismembering others. Edward has no idea what creature could be responsible for such heinous crimes.
Summoning Anita has its downside for Edward, since it means letting her onto his turf. Anita is surprised to find that this normally aggressive man has a personal life, and shocked by his ability to be entirely different from the stone cold killer she's known. She also has problems with the cop in charge in Albuquerque, who believes her powers must be evil, and with the other backups Edward has brought in. Most of all, she has to deal with her own vulnerability--she's tried to shut down her ties to her vampire and werewolf lovers and go it alone, but it turns out to be harder than she thought.
Anita's usual supporting cast is missing, and she's taking time out from her complex love life, but there's plenty of bloody action, vampires, werewolves, and Aztec ritual. Plus a lot more about Edward. Fans will find this installment similar to the earlier books in the series, particularly The Laughing Corpse.--Nona Vero.
