#49 Serpentine by Laurell K. Hamilton

The latest book is set in Florida for Edward’s wedding. There are the usual bridal party problems with one of Donna’s friends convinced that Edward and Anita are having an affair and wants the kids to know. The wedding location happens to overlap with a group of snake shifters that no one has ever seen before. It works more like a genetic curse and eventually coverts the victims to a mass of snakes permanently. A woman goes missing from another wedding at the hotel and local police want to pin the blame on one of Anita’s men. So in a short space of time Anita needs to solve a murder, keep a wedding on track as Edward’s best man and deal with a surprise wedding guest. The plus side was Anita didn’t lose control of her ardeur and spend chapters feeding it with sex. Yes there is still sex and tons of talk about her relationships with her lovers, brides, and bodyguards.
