A few pages into reading I came …

Even though I am a huge Anita Blake fan, I admit that when I read the plot for Bullet I was a bit disappointed, I was hoping for something a little different. But, I recently read Laurell K. Hamilton’s interview with Entertainment Weekly on the new book and damn, now I can’t wait to pick …
