Publisher's summary

Vampire hunter Anita Blake has managed to overcome everything she faces. But this time there's a monster that even she doesn't know how to fight....

A remote Florida island is the perfect wedding destination for the upcoming nuptials of Anita's fellow US marshal and best friend, Edward. For Anita, the vacation is a welcome break, as it's the first trip she gets to take with wereleopards Micah and Nathaniel. But it's not all fun and games and bachelor parties....

In this tropical paradise Micah discovers a horrific new form of lycanthropy, one that has afflicted a single family for generations. Believed to be the result of an ancient Greek curse, it turns human bodies into a mass of snakes.

When long-simmering resentment leads to a big blowup within the wedding party, the last thing Anita needs is more drama. But it finds her anyway when women start disappearing from the hotel, and worse - her own friends and lovers are considered the prime suspects. There's a strange power afoot that Anita has never confronted before, a force that's rendering those around her helpless in its thrall. Unable to face it on her own, Anita is willing to accept help from even the deadliest places. Help that she will most certainly regret - if she survives at all, that is....

Rather disappointed

3.5 stars. I love this series but 15 hrs of whinny partners, the whole drawn out bitching from Dixie about Ted "cheating", trying to tell Becca, etc, was a bit too much. I think this could have been cut in half. I really enjoyed the mystery. Jean Claude did not have enough page time.

LK hamilton

Amazingly written as always draws into a storyline that is brilliant. Wish I had all of those sexy characters.

Love Anita Blake!

Let me start with .. I wish I bought the actual book and not the audio book. Kimberly Alexis was horrible! She sounded like an old documentary at school. If this wasn’t a Laurell K. Hamilton book I would have turn off the book!! Her portrayal of Nathaniel was so bad, he sounded more like a 10 year girl than anything! Even worse was how she portrayed Anita! Enough of that. I felt this book could have had more conflict with bad guys and more love scenes like we are use to. Saying all that I am NOT sorry I listened I finally was able to block out Alexis and just hear the book, which is just an amazing Anita Blake book!!! Can’t wait for next. But.. What about Meredith Gentry???
