Obsidian Butterfly

An Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter Novel

By: Laurell K. Hamilton

Narrated by: Kimberly Alexis

#1 New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton offers a sexy, suspenseful novel of human—and inhuman—passions, as vampire hunter Anita Blake must repay a favor to a man almost as dangerous as the ancient evil she's about to face. . . .

Edward is a hit man, specializing in monsters, vampires, shapeshifters, anything and everything. There are people like Anita who do it legal, but Edward doesn't sweat the legalities, or, hell, the ethics. He's an equal opportunity killer.

Anita may be one of the few friends that Edward has, but it’s like being friends with a tame leopard. It may curl up on the foot of your bed and let you pet its head, but it can still rip your throat out. . . .

Critic reviews

Praise for the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Novels

“Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris

“If you’ve never read this series, I highly recommend/strongly suggest having the Anita Blake experience. Vampires, zombies, and shifters, oh my! And trust me, these are not your daughter’s vampires.”—Literati Book Reviews

“A sex-positive, kick-ass female protagonist.”—Starburst

“Number one New York Times bestseller Hamilton is still thrilling fans...with her amazing multifaceted characters and intricate multilayered world, a mix of erotic romance, crime-drama, and paranormal/fantasy fiction. Her descriptive prose is gritty and raw, with a mosaic of humor and horror to tell this complex, well-detailed story. But it’s her enigmatic stable of stars that continues to shine, managing their improbable interpersonal relationship dynamics.”—Library Journal

So good!

I think this is my favorite in the series so far. I finished it last night, and I'm going to start it again today. Action packed Edward goodness!!! Hoping there's more like this and that Obsidian Butterfly makes another appearance.

Fave

This is the first of my favourites in the Anita Blake series.
Even though I miss JC being in the story, the guest characters (especially Olaf and Obsidian Butterfly), more than make up for his absence.
Even after reading the series through multiple times, this one still stands out for me.

Anita

Love the characters and the story. They keep me coming back for more. Laurel Hamilton is one awesome Author

One of my favorite Anita books.

This is the first book that is Edward centered. I lo e this one so much because this is before the books become extra sexual. This is Anita being herself, a bad a** vampire killer. You get to see her embrace her necromancy as it benefits her in finding the bad guy. I can say this book, Body Bones, Afliction, and Sucker Punch are my favorite in the series. They show Anita at her finest in my opinion.

awesome story

love Anita and Edward fighting together
and a change of scenery from st.louis and the guys
