Our view
“Skin Trade” is the seventeenth Anita Blake novel, a blend of horror, mystery and erotica for readers already deep into the series. Some readers welcome a return to supernatural detective work and fewer love interests; others find Anita weaker than before and her story too taken up with the ardeur. Some readers are also disturbed by what they describe as a sexual scene involving a sixteen-year-old who does not consent.
