Prepare to hop on a speeding ride that takes you from confrontations with monsters, to a woman trying to figure out her own humanity. Anita Blake is a licensed vampire executioner. In her world, which is really just like our world, except for the many monsters, vampires are "legal", which means they have rights. A vampire must be legally executed (for pesky things like killing people). The interesting question is often, what separates us from the monsters? Our conscience? Our morality? I recommend reading the books from the beginning if you like true character development. Ms. Hamilton has created a character you can worry about, shake your head over and totally be intrigued by. Yes, the books can stand alone, thanks to the author's concise summaries of past events, but, I'm reading them in order, and my one worry is - what do I really want to read when I'm done? How soon will the next book come out? I highly recommend this book and series.Read full review
What started off in the same spirit as her previous books, ended with a bang! This book got me to the point that I could not put it down until the last chapter was read. And I wanted more! By this book, the reader has worked up a personal knowledge of Anita and craves the knowledge of what she will face next! You begin to fear for her and cheer her on. The only other times I've had this relationship with a fictional character they were Patricia Cornwell's Dr. Kay Scarpetta and JD Robb's Eve! Just as you get involved with those two on their cases of murder and mayhem, you are compelled into Anita's world of vampires and zombies. I highly recommend this entire series thusfar!
I got the book i wanted BUT it is not the cover that was advertised in the listing i was hoping the unique covering not the newer one but it is one of my favorite books so i am happy with it.

Can't wait to get this book. Love laurel K Hamilton. Love the series I want to be able to read this over and over again. I love the Anita Blake series. I am not very tall and would love to have some of the powers that she has.
Great book in a great series. Laurell Hamilton is a great fiction writer and her books are suspenseful and very provacative.
