The Killing Dance

Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 6

By: Laurell K. Hamilton

Narrated by: Kimberly Alexis

'These days my life is a cross between a preternatural soap opera and an action-adventure movie.'

The first hit man came after me at home, which should be against the rules. Then there was a second, and a third. Word on the street is that Anita Blake, preternatural expert and vampire killer extraordinaire, is worth half a million dollars. Dead, not alive.

So what's a girl to do but turn to the men in her life for help? Which in my case means an alpha werewolf and a master vampire. With professional killers on your trail, it's not a bad idea to have as much protection as possible, human or otherwise.

But I'm beginning to wonder if two monsters are better than one ...

Critic reviews

'Laurell K Hamilton's background in animal ethnology adds a lot to the mix in this book; Anita has to do some long hard thinking about what it means to be in love with a man who changes to wolf.' (Roz Kaveney, author of Rhapsody of Blood)

'With panache, Kimberly Alexis takes the listener on Blake’s latest adventure. She has no trouble invoking the voices of men, as well as male vampires and werewolves, even French vampires with heavy accents. She excels as Anita herself, giving voice to the many contradictions that make up her character.' (AudioFile)
