Rating: 5/5
Review: Anita Blake is a vampire slayer who has been compared to Buffy, and most agree that she's way cooler. She also happens to be a necromancer. This book grabs from the beginning, and is a wonderful thrill ride into the dark world of the paranormal. Vampires are legal, have rights, and can be taken to trial. People who raise the dead can be hired to fix family squabbles over a lost will. It's wild and creepy, action-packed and gritty, and just plain fun to read. I am looking forward to reading more of this series.
Book Description: Anita Blake may be small and young, but vampires call her the Executioner. Anita is a necromancer and vampire hunter in a time when vampires are protected by law--as long as they don't get too nasty. Now someone's killing innocent vampires and Anita agrees--with a bit of vampiric arm-twisting--to help figure out who and why.
Trust is a luxury Anita can't afford when her allies aren't human. The city's most powerful vampire, Nikolaos, is 1,000 years old and looks like a 10-year-old girl. The second most powerful vampire, Jean-Claude, is interested in more than just Anita's professional talents, but the feisty necromancer isn't playing along--yet. This popular series has a wild energy and humor, and some very appealing characters--both dead and alive.
