Obsidian Butterfly (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #9) by Laurell K. Hamilton ★★★★★

“She'd been punishing people for the same crimes for five hundred years. It was impressive in a psychotic sort of way... I'd told people that I'd chase them into hell to have my vengeance, but I probably didn't mean it. Itzpapalotl would mean every word.” 

3rd Listen: “Dawn is coming, I can feel it pressing against the darkness like weight about to tear the night apart.” I love this story.

2nd Listen: “One minute you are paranoid and packing too much hardware, the next you are scared and underarmed. Life’s like that, or my life’s like that.”
- Anita Blake 

This is the very best of Anita Blake; straight bad ass bounty hunting Blake with Edward's crew of shooters. The novel gets her away from Missouri to New Mexico: Edward's/Ted's home. It's exciting to see pieces of the man behind the mysterious assassin who is Anita's great friend and series favorite.
