Publisher's summary

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)

The Anita I know and love

This is the Anita I know and love but a little more grown up. I like that this book is starting to close off some of the lose ends cause it was getting a heavy handed with the so many people and story lines. I felt like it was starting to create spinoff characters which didn't always fit with the story we where reading. I've never had a problem with the sex scenes and I still don't. I hope that the next book keeps adding to the main relationship like this one did and doesn't' create more side action till the main setup is straight.

Best Anita Blake in a while

There was a lot of action in this book that is all bloody fantastic. Of course there was sex and her emotional roller coaster. But for old Anita fans...she's back in this one

Very happy with this one!

I really liked this one. With all series that have 20+ books, there are books that I have liked more and some that I have liked less. This one is high up on my list. The story is an interesting one, it really keeps your interest. Kimberly Alexis does a nice job. She has her hands full with all of the different accents and you can tell each character apart. I am really happy with this one.

Love Laurell K Hamilton's books!

This is the second audio book for me. It was great! Will be getting more! Very addicting!
The only thing I didn't like was the background music and sound affects! It was too distracting! Hard for me to consentrate on the story!
