Book 3 of the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series.
Anita is torn between fighting the pull of the Master of the City (Determined to convince her that she must be his human servant) and battling newcomers to the scene, who intend to undermine Jean-Claude's power and take over the city. Their political views are radically different, and in Anita's desire to escape Jean-Claude's power, she makes a few big mistakes.
This one further fleshes out Anita's and Jean-Claude's characters, but also introduces a few other long-term characters into the equation. There ends up being a large battle in front of a lot of ordinary citizens, but it's cleverly disguised, and Jean-Claude's business decisions start making a lot of sense - his businesses cater to the strengths of his vampires without being illegal. It's a nice glimpse into his side of the story, but still with a strong focus on Anita.
