This whole book seemed to revolve around how Anita is cooler than everyone else, mortal or otherwise. She's more powerful than EVERYONE for this reason or that... it seemed a little too much for me at times. However, I guess this is her series so she can be queen of everything. She's queen of the wolves and leopards, she raises and controls the zombies, she's more powerful than the vampires... even the most powerful of them all. And if she can't out-power them, she bests them by petting their face or appealing to their sense of ... ug, you get the point. Over at GoodReads, one reviewer said she gets tired of how Anita "level's up", and man, how true that is... 'Oh look, I have another cool power'... blinks, 'Oh look, here's another one'. We get the point, you are super awesome. 
 I liked this book, I'll just say it wasn't one of my favorites. There were a few in this series that I really didn't like, then a few that I loved. This is one that I just "liked"... It kept the series going, showed how powerful she is, and introduced some great characters. I really liked the Asher possibility for future usage. And there were some characters from previous books that were given more depth here. I really liked that. 
 My favorite thing about this book, though, is the continued humanity and humility that Anita's facing. Not the power-up thing, that's getting droll... but her getting rid of the whole prude, holier than thou, don't touch me, and you suck personality. I actually like her, again.
