New in the #1 New York Times bestselling series
When Anita Blake meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there is to know about loss. But what she also knows, though Tony Bennington seems unwilling to be convinced, is that the thing she can do as a necromancer isn't the miracle he thinks he needs. The creature that Anita could coerce to step out of the late Mrs. Bennington's grave would not be the lovely Mrs. Bennington. Not really. And not for long.

IT'S A SAD DAY...Review by Kari M. Layne, 2010-08-30
Ok, I've been a big supporter of this series and I've loved every book in it... EVERY book... but this one! This book is really a joke of a novel. It's only a 100+ pages but they still charge you full price like it's a full sized novel. This book really makes me sad. For a long time now I've been loving all the Anita Blake books and I get so mad at all the people who seem to just get mad at you if you actually like the newer books in the series. But, Laurell K Hamilton finally lost me with this one, and I hate to say it. This book felt more like a chapter or 2 out of one of her normal novels. And the story line with the flirting in the restaurant... was difficult to read. In my opinion, it was just plain stupid. I'm really hoping that Bullet is back to the anita blake stories I've loved for so long... otherwise LKH may have just lost another reader *sigh*
Better than I expected, but not a novel
Review by Lona Hansen, 2010-08-22
I got my copy at the library as Laurell Hamilton is just too inconsistent to spend my own money on her books. As the other reviews have noted, this is more a novella or a very long short story. The plot is a very bad work day for Anita Blake, extraordinary animator, from a disgruntled nonclient. I really liked the book (better than I expected) because Anita was back to working as an animator and making her own decisions on her own.
The book contained nothing of Anita as Jean Claude's human servant/girlfriend with all the sex to gain new powers and the vampire politics. In most of the newer Anita Blake books, the nonstop vampire related sex and the vampire politics leave me completely uninterested. The vampires are not fully drawn enough to be interesting and all the wereanimals just seem to revolve around
Anita's nonstop sex. In Flirt, the little sex there was was just an incident and made sense in the context of the story. The plot was not a bracket for pages of metaphysical sex.
I would have rated the book higher if it had been novel length and if there had been more descriptions of and interactions with Anita's coworkers at Animations, Inc.
Less than ZERO
Review by Miriam Hirsch, 2010-08-22
What a shame. I actually returned this book to the place I bought it AND GOT MY MONEY BACK! This is a flimsy short story that never should have been published as a novel. When a series is out of control it's not interesting any more. LKH was one of my favorite writers and now I don't think I will read her again.
waste of $10.99
Review by shannon johnson, 2010-08-21
I came to amazon every day and clicked the 'i want it for kindle'. I wish it had not become available. I was a total waste of 10.99, and I am cranky that I paid that for a short story.
Trash Pure Trash
Review by Good Book, 2010-08-16
Trash Pure Trash... Wake up Laurell K Hamilton you are losing your fans, and the people that screen letters of criticism at your website are not doing you a favour. No plot, no story, no future, this is the last "short story" book by LKH that I will be paying good money for. What a rip to be demanding full novel status for such short drivel.
