I reached a point in the Anita Blake series where I had to stop reading for a while, read something else and then irrevocably comeback to the series.
I have to say that since Narcissus in Chains I wasn't able to follow the same protocol since the series really took a turn for the best right there and then. Ive enjoyed every book since then and this one was by far the hottest one in the series. Forget Fifty shades! Nathaniel teaches in this book what a true submissive gone dominant should really be like.
Let's begin: the book starts with a wedding, very cute Halloween themed wedding, very authentic. Then Micah tells a story about his nose and... God it was painful to read.
Anita and Nathaniel in the dancefloor. (I'm trying to find a word here that means more than hot) INCREDIBLY HOT! I have waited 10 books for this moment, specially the moment when Nathaniel becomes this totally different character and dominates the heck out of Anita. I was basically squirming in my chair.
Ronnie we missed you!!
This book was full of emotions, Anita coming to terms with who she is and who she loves. Admitting to her self how much Jean Claude, Nathaniel, Richard even Damian mean to her and actually saying it out loud proved that she is changing. She seemed so selfish at the beginning of the series though she is such a coward in this book. Coward to hear Micah's torments, Nathaniel's needs, Ronnie's issues.
End of the book and still no closure for Nathaniel, she just keeps putting him (involuntarily) on the side. Nothing really changed between him and Anita.
Revenant Damian and naked Anita fighting was so funny and awkward. Poor Damian keeps suffering because of her, anything she does, or doesn't do affects him and it makes me feel so sorry for him, to see where he ended up and how many changes have been forced into his life.
A couple questions at the end of this book: why are most of the intriguing men so short? (Micah, Byron, Jason).
And it was almost the end and I was still wondering why incubus dreams? One of the things I love the most about these series is the book titles but this one was explained at the very end which led me to suspicions throughout the whole book because really any character could have been the incubus. Luckily it wasn't a person but a business.
The Richard/Anita/Jean Claude triumvirate consolidating was the hottest scene I've read in my entire life.

The morning of Sept. 28 I practically ran into my local book store and snatched this book from the waiting clerks hands. (I never buy books there anymore I always order them through amazon.com. But not one of these, I can't wait that long for snail mail to get to me.) The clerk was bewildered. Apparently I wasn't the first to have this reaction today; what was all the fuss about? I told her that this was the twelfth book in the series, we've been waiting a year for it, and not too damn patiently either.

The clerk was curious. Perhaps she should see what all the fuss was about and read this book herself. I said no, not this one. I said if you want to know what this series is about then read another in the series, Obsidian Butterfly would be a good one. It stands mostly on it's own without that great a dependance on the others. I said if she liked that then read all the books and get to this one last because this particular book is a part of the whole series, a step along the way.

Sadly, it's two days later now and, despite having my work to delay me, the book is over for another year. The waiting another whole year is always the hardest part. This book was worth the wait; this series is worth the wait.

This book is a part of a serial. This particuar one is a part of every other one that has come before it. For those of us who have read them all it brought back wonderful memories, it took us further on our journey through this story and it was just great. It sets the stage for what will come next. For anyone who hasn't read them they will not appreciate just how wonderful this small part is. For anyone reading this and wondering should if they would like this series: please don't start with this one then come in here and bitch about the fact you just don't get it. Do you watch fifteen minutes of the middle of a movie, turn it off and say, I just don't get it, what's all the fuss about? Who were all those characters and what do they have to do with this story?

It was great to be able to see so many different parts of the series brought together and the threads of the story continuing. I'm sure that all of us who feel as if we know these characters personally now feel glad to see them all grow a little, learn a little, gain a little. We'll wait again, and damned impatiently, for the next part of the story to unfold from Ms. Hamilton's extremely talented imagination. Then we'll run down to the bookstore and snatch the next book from the waiting clerk and it will all begin again.

5.0 out of 5 stars “I don’t believe in Happily ever after, but i can believe in happily ever for now"

So many things just fell into place and finally feels just right for Anita.

1. The crimes where scary and we didn’t get a complete ending so we will have to wait to see the show down with the big bad vamp.
2. the metaphysical power hit a new grand level of amazing. I love that finally we might see the triumvirate working as it was intended. I love that they are all trying to work and live and love together. Anita is seeing that she has more power and that is doesn't all belong to Jean Claude.
4. I love the addition of the British vamps, I would love to see Jean Claude have to take Anita to the ‘old’ country.
5. I am slowly, with each book warming to Micah.

I know there are a lot of people who start hating on this series. I wonder if they are reading them in the right order - if i picked up Incubus Dreams and it was the first Anita Blake novel I had read i might think woah who is this weird chick but when you read them in order and see the character development of not only Anita but all the reoccurring characters it isn’t just about the sex. it is about life and how it might not always go the way you planned or dreamed but if you don’t work with the life you have you end up not living at all - like Richard.

What i think all the characters achieved in this book is freedom. They embraced themselves, their relationships and their powers and they don't run.

This book has some incredibly steamy chapters, if you don't know by book 12 that Anita enjoys sex then you haven't been reading the right books. But it isn't on every single page and quite a lot of story happens between the sheets so to speak. I don't feel any of the sex scenes are just a throw away, they mean something to Anita, to the story and how Anita has had to change.

I love Anita’s line “I don’t believe in Happily ever after, but i can believe in happily ever for now"

Trovo la scrittura di Hamilton piacevole alla lettura, anche se in qualche occasione è eccessivamente ripetitiva nell'uso dei termini e nell'espressione di concetti già delineati in precedenza.

I found this to be an excellent continuation of the series, I have only been reading them for three months and am completely hooked on this series. I am enthralled at how this and other characters evolve and change, whilst still staying true to themselves. The plot in this book concentrates on Anita begining to deal with her past, and the situation she finds herself in with regards to the men in her life. And I contratulate LKH on not making the solution one-dimensional, but giving Anita courage to face what she wants, and what is right for her.
Whilst the murder/mystery part is thin on the ground, I can't help but feel that this book is leading on to bigger and better battles as Anita finally starts getting a handle on all her powers. even the brand-new ones. Thank you very much LKH for adding another quality and enthralling book to the series.
