The sensational new novel from the New York Times bestselling author featuring her vampire-hunting heroine Anita BlakeOnce you tell someone certain things, like, say, you got mailed a human head in a box, they tend to think you’re crazy. Anita Blake’s reputation has taken some hits. Not on the work front, where she has the highest kill count of all the legal vampire executioners in the country, but on the personal front. No one seems to trust a woman who sleeps with the monsters. Still, when a vampire serial killer sends her a head from Las Vegas, Anita has to warn Sin City’s local authorities what they’re dealing with. Only it’s worse than she thought. Several officers and one executioner have been slain – paranormal style... Anita heads to Las Vegas, where she’s joined by three other federal marshals, including the ruthless Edward hiding behind his mild-mannered persona. It’s a good thing Edward always has her back, because, when she gets close to the bodies, Anita senses “tiger” too strongly to ignore it. The were-tigers are very powerful in Las Vegas, which means the odds of her rubbing someone important the wrong way just got a lot higher...

I have to thank Laurell K. Hamilton and this book for teaching me life is too short to hang on even after a series jumps the shark. For me the Anita Blake series did in Narcissus in Chains, the tenth book. This is the 17th book in the series, but two things had kept me going. First, back when this b...
'Shut up...And can take the offer so we can all sleep.'The Real Plot Summary:Anita Sue: I am SO much tougher and better at this than those wimpy women in my office, who are clutching their pearls in the other room and sobbing into the Manly Men's chests! I can stare at this head in a box and be TOUG...
Better than some of the other stories that have turned up recently in this series, this, though, has several layers of What and Why going on. Anita turns up in work (shocker!) to find a head delivered to her. The head is that of a police officer in Las Vegas. She knows who it is and goes to Las V...
