"RAISING THE DEAD IS EASY. LOVE IS HARD..."
There are lots of reasons to raise the dead-some private, some public. In this case, the feds have a witness who died before he could speak on the record. They want him raised so his testimony can be taken. So here I am, on a plane to Philadelphia, flying off to do my job.
But I'm not alone. Micah is with me. Micah, head of the St. Louis wereleopard pard. King to my Queen. The only one of my lovers who can stir my blood with just a glance from his chartreuse cat's eyes. I was happy to have him at my side.
Until he mentioned that this will be our first time alone together. No Master Vampire. No Alpha Werewolf. Just me and Micah. And all my fears and doubts...

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Anita Blake series was recommended to me as being 'entertaining, if you could stomach the increasingly graphic sex scenes in the later novels'. I spent some time reading through the lot, and indeed the later books became less plot intensive and more oriented towards cheap thrills.
This latest available installment - Micah - does not even qualify as a book! Her last two novels to this point were almost double the word length of the first Anita Blake offerings. The Micah story is tiny in comparison and actually belongs in an anthology of mediocre erotica, where the cobweb thin plot and lacklustre characterisation would not be out of place.
I agree with other reviewers - this is not worth keeping. Borrow it from the library if you can.

I love the Anita books but in my view this is missold as a novel. The use of double line spacing gives it away. An obvious tactic to at least give what is at best a short story the physical appearence of a more meaty affair. I feel duped into buying it. The content is also flacid, with too much sex and not enough story. I would not be surprised to see it with the soft porn in Ann Summers and at times the writing is of a similar quality to Mill & Boon! Shame on you Ms Hamilton. If I was new to Anita I would not buy this, as it would put you off what is an excellent series of novels.

Ive been a huge fan of the Anita Blake series since I was introduced to them last year and haven’t managed to put them down ever since. So u can imagine that I was over the moon when I got my hands on the new Micah book.
I finished it in a matter of hours but was left a little disappointed.. don’t get me wrong its still a good book and LK Hamilton writes a true to form as ever.
going by the title of the book I was hoping for more on Micah yes you got a little information on his background but was hoping some deep dark secret was going to be reviled.
Oh well was still a good read and most Anita fans should really enjoy it.

Terrible
Seriously what was she thinking.
1stly it is supershort at 288 pages.
This should of been a novella in another book or an anthology of short stories. Read more

Anita at least ditches some of the harem for this outing...
I'd give it more of a 2.5. A simple little novella with Anita doing a plain old predictable zombie raising case. Read more

Micah
I found the book in a bit of an untidy state even though it said in good condition, that is why I rated it low. For the price it was way over what the book was worth

I enjoyed the book but, unfortunately, didn't find the story was "fleshed out" enough for true enjoyment. Read more

I bought this book because I wanted to know more about Micah. I have been intrigued with him as a character since he is consider the quiet easy going one. Read more

The Author should apologise
I'm not a habitual reviewer but as a erstwhile lover of previous Anita Blake books felt compelled to warn others of the absolute dissapointment I suffered on reading Micah. Read more

Micah
I really think this author is losing her way with this series. Even compared to the horrible Incubus Dreams, this book is pretty slap dash at best. Read more
