“When Anita Blake’s boss at Animators, Inc., informs her
that she’s expected to raise 300-year-old zombies from a field of jumbled bones
just to settle a land dispute, she’s understandably annoyed. But as soon as she
arrives in Branson, Missouri, to do the deed, the job gets more interesting. A
psychotic sword-wielding vampire starts committing multiple murders in the
area, and Anita must call on Jean-Claude, her powerful fanged suitor, for help.
As always, Anita prevails over the undead, keeping Jean-Claude at arm’s length,
clearing the cemetery land of an ancient enchantment, and nailing the vampiric
killer in one fell swoop.”
“First, there were the dead in the graveyard – two-hundred
years dead. I’d been hired to raise them to settle a dispute over who owned the
land they were buried in.
Then there were the three dead teenagers in the woods,
slaughtered in a way I had never seen before.
And then they found the dead girl, drained of blood and left
in her bed.
I knew what that meant, all right. It didn’t take a degree
in preternatural studies to figure out that something was very wrong in and
around Branson, Missouri. My name is Anita Blake. Welcome to my life…”
