Micah’s estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease".

Anita Blake makes her living off of zombies - but these aren’t the kind she knows so well. These creatures hunt in daylight, and are as fast and strong as vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them. And round and round it goes...Where will it stop? Even Anita Blake doesn’t know.

“Laurell K. Hamilton is the reigning queen of the urban fantasy world.” (Midwest Book Review)

“Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.” (Charlaine Harris)

I like the series, from the very first book all the way up to the current one. The first ones were like foreplay, the later additions are down to the nitty-gritty :) Anita just happens to indulge in a little more gritty than the rest of us. LOL

I know LKH has gotten a lot of negative reviews lately, but I liked the story. I got to visit with Ted/Ed who is one of my favorite characters. I always love her action scenes and with this rotten zombie, mini apocalypse, there were a lot of good ones. It is a little hard keeping up with all of Anita's lovers, but that is certainly not a complaint! :) Hot vampires and were-men are always a plus in my book. But then again I like a little erotica mixed in with my mystery :) I got to listen to Anita hunt the bad, kick butt, and save the day.

I guess I am confused with all of the negative comments about which direction the series is going in. If this is the direction that LKH wants to go and she is happy in her world, then stop using your credits for the price of admittance. The rest of us are just happy to be there. :)

Oh, and Kimberly Alexis I really enjoyed your voices. Your Anita voice was great!

This is a good, solid addition to the series. It was worth my credit!

I am still a fan :)

This is another good book with a storyline / plot that is well formed - at least as well as Skin Trade. Some of the later books are absolute crap. She does tend to go on too much about defending the lifestyle which is boring so I skipped the long self-righteous talk sections.

Good story plot

Like every book before it, I was excited to see Anita save the day but so sad when the book was over.

Loved it!

Finally, back to the original Anita Blake series. I skipped a ton of her books because of the lack of story and non-stop sexual encounters. I'm glad I came back to this one in particular. it's a good thing that LKH repeats lines in every book it let's me pick up on what I missed. especially all of the new were-animals.

Very little sex & a lot of detective plot points

Oh my zombies. Vampires. Wereanimals and snipers. A kicking wardrobe, eye candy hot scenes and a wicked truth moment. I need more. How many times have I read this series... not enough going to re read again. Love it.

Who's afraid of the big bad ...
