Anita Blake is an *evolving* character. The changes that she goes through are explained in the universe that Hamilton has created. Blake starts out in this series as an individual whose morality is largely black and white. As the series goes on, she sees herself turning into the "monsters" that she originally started executing. As such, her black and white morality is forced to go through changes. If your worldview was turned upside down by you becoming that which you had feared and loathed, you would have display significant angst as well. Add to this that her sexual mores are turned upside down by the onset of the ardeur, and you have an evolving character who will go through significant changes. This book has interesting secondary characters. This novel introduces the character of Micah. He is an interesting romantic liason for Anita. He doesn't display the cardboard cut-out traits of Richard. As such, he may be more well-suited for Anita over the long-term. Other characters undergo significant changes as well. One of my favorite secondary characters, Dolph, undergoes an anguished transition which makes for good reading. Anita's interactions with the secondary characters make the storyline. For me, the "plot" of the book is not the reason to read this series. This series has had interesting plots. However, this series is more of a soap opera. If you enjoy the characters and the universe Hamilton has created, you will enjoy this book. If you want well-developed, intricate plots, then Hamilton has written other novels which were better in that department (see Obsidian Butterfly). If you want an interesting, fun read that further develops the character of Anita Blake in unusual ways, then purchase the book.

I first discovered Deborah Bedford when I came across A Morning Like This. As soon as I saw her newest title His Other Wife I was excited to read it, having enjoyed her other book so much. Deborah has a wonderful gift of being able to take complex real-life situations that most readers can relate to and put them into riveting novels. Deborah wrote this story loosely based on the biblical story of Hannah. In this novel, Hilary Wynn is the contemporary version of Hannah who experiences tragedy, loss and yearning in her personal life. Hilary is a smart, energetic woman who little by little feels the life sucked out of her through various hardships. Her world comes crashing down and she has to find the resolve to keep on living one day at a time. Hilary endures the ultimate betrayal by her husband and ends up divorced. Just when she thinks she has life under control, she then faces another devastating heartbreak when her 18-year-old son Seth is caught up in a horrific accident on graduation night and arrested. My heart ached for Hilary all the way through this book as she grieved first her marriage and then her son’s mistakes. On top of everything else going on in her life Hilary has to come face to face with her ex-husband’s new wife, who seems to enjoy flaunting her position of “his other wife” in Hilary’s face. For the sake of her son Seth, Hilary grits her teeth and attempts to be civil towards Pam, whose presence is a constant reminder of her marriage to Eric that failed. As they all attempt to get along under one roof for the weekend of Seth’s graduation, Hilary is pushed to the brink many times as she compares herself to Pam and second-guesses her decisions. Pam seems to be able to give Eric everything Hilary wasn’t able to, including another child. Pam also seems to be competing for Seth’s attention and Hilary feels threatened that her relationship with her son may be overshadowed by Pam’s affections and ability to give him more material things. When tragedy strikes and Seth is arrested, Hilary and Eric have to find a way to set their differences aside and unite as parents. Seth faces a murky future and the possibility of prison time. This story is a perfect example of the challenges that many blended families face, and how it takes time to heal and move past heartaches and offenses. If you haven’t had the chance to read Deborah’s books, I highly suggest starting with this one!
