This book is really a handbook. Read it only if you have finished Guilty Pleasures first because you'll find a summary of the story as well as character descriptions.
2.5 stars. Honestly? I don't see the use of this...
Basically this 'book' sums up the story of the first book in the Anita Blake series. This is done by repeating the same story from the point of view from EVERY character. It doesn't really add anything, especially if you have a decent memory and remember the first book. It didn't really add anything to the series. Maybe if you have forgotten what happened in the first book and you don't want to reread it this is an option but other than that, I think it would be a waste of money.
