Publisher's summary

Anita Blake has the highest kill count of any vampire executioner in the country. She’s a US Marshal who can raise zombies with the best of them. But ever since she and master vampire Jean-Claude went public with their engagement, all she is to anyone and everyone is Jean-Claude’s fiancée.

It’s wreaking havoc with her reputation as a hard ass - to some extent. Luckily, in professional circles, she’s still the go-to expert for zombie issues. And right now, the FBI is having one hell of a zombie issue.

Someone is producing zombie porn. Anita has seen her share of freaky undead fetishes, so this shouldn’t bother her. But the women being victimized aren’t just mindless, rotting corpses. Their souls are trapped behind their eyes, signaling voodoo of the blackest kind.

It’s the sort of case that can leave a mark on a person. And Anita’s own soul may not survive unscathed...

Critic reviews

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

"If you’ve never read this series, I highly recommend/strongly suggest having the Anita Blake experience. Vampires, zombies, and shifters, oh my! And trust me, these are not your daughter’s vampires." (Literati Book Reviews)

Mind blowing...

This was my first time for audio books and Kimberly did a great job. I will be getting the rest of the series, and I hope Kimberly is here to stay.

Getting better

I've been a huge fan of The Anita Blake Series from the start and was kind of upset that it descended into smut territory. Not that smut is bad, just that it didn't used to be the main focus. The series finally send to be coming back to more story than sex! if you're a fan of the series, I recommend a listen.

Awesome.

Not office friendly, not kid friendly. But awesome all the same. For mature audience, but it's not as smutty as other books.

Dead Ice

While sex once again becomes a main thread, Hamilton does manage to weave in a good story. Zombies, souls and necromancy turn into a challenge:who is the most powerful of all?

A page turner with vampires and other creatures of the night

An addictive story about a Marshall who happens to be a vampire among other amazing things. Definitely R rated as there is a lot of sex with multiple partners. Definitely hard to stop listening to as she pulls you into the story from the first chapter. I highly recommend it and hope fiat there is a sequel in the near future..

another amazing story in the Anita Blake series

I have been behind in reading this series and the indepth descriptions on past events helps to bring the whole story together. Although I do feel like as in the past there is such a huge build up in the story and then everything at the end is rushed to wrap up into a nice bow of an ending. I love her writing but the endings usually feel rushed and sometimes abrupt.
Asher hasn't made an appearance in awhile and I still wonder why they haven't tried the new wound theory on his acid burns. Is this because Asher is too scared to loose that excuse for his issues if it works and he is appearance is flawless again? He can't hold it over Jean-Claude's head if he is healed. That is just one thing that has bugged me since it was mentioned in a previous book and has has me curious why it hasn't been tried.
I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
