Book number two in the Anita Blake series by Laurell Hamlton. The only reason I finished the review this evening is because I want to read The Laughing Corpse 🙂
Back cover:
The novels of #1 bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton take readers into the dangerous life of Anita Blake, animator and vampire-hunter- a woman as good as raising the dead as she is at slaying the undead. Now, a creature from beyond the grave is tearing a swath of murder through St. Louis. And Anita will learn that there are some secrets better left buried-and some people better off dead…
“They were treating me like I was a dangerous person. At five-three I am not imposing. Raise the dead, kill a few vampires, and people start considering you on of the monsters. Sometimes it hurt. But now…it had possibilities. ‘Do you really think I came here unarmed?’ I asked. My voice sounded very matter-of-fact…’Want to bet your life on it?'”
