Publisher's Blurb


" 'Richard was an alpha werewolf. It was his only serious flaw. We'd broken up after I'd seen him eat somebody.’

Still, you never forget your ex-fiancé. And when Richard calls Anita Blake at three in the morning, she knows it won't be good news. It seems Richard had gotten himself thrown in jail on a rape charge. But Anita knows that though he is a monster, Richard's no rapist. And it's up to her to prove his innocence—before the blue moon creates even bigger problems for Richard...”

"Vampire hunter and preternatural expert Anita Blake, must help her ex-fiancé out of a false rape charge. Time is of the essence, however, as Anita's ex-flame is a werewolf and if he's not out of jail before the full moon rises he's in for some big problems."

Within the novel, the term "blue moon" is also used to refer to an upcoming full moon, the second in that calendar month.

Blue Moon, right before Richard n' her have sex. All of sudden she is about to "do" everyone. Was that some way to get Raina off her back? And she cut into Richard and said some words and all of a sudden everyone was trying to rape her. I am so confused. :( Help
