'I don t date vampires. I kill them.' My name is Anita Blake. Vampires call me the Executioner. What I call them isn t repeatable. Ever since the Supreme Court granted the undead equal rights, most people think vampires are just ordinary folks with fangs. I know better. I ve seen their victims. I carry the scars...But now a serial killer is murdering vampires and the most powerful bloodsucker in town wants me to find the killer.
This book/series has been recommended to me a Zillion times over the years - and I've even owned it periodically - but I've never managed to read it. But I exchanged books with a coworker and this time seems to be the charm because I finally opened it up and read it. And not at all shockingly, I loved it. Anita Blake is a great character. I love her strength and also her humanity - she gets scared and freaked out, which I love. I found the mystery pretty obvious - I knew pretty much as soon as the possibility was on the table who was doing the killing and why. And Anita practically tells us, and yet she misses it. I think she should have seen it too. Otherwise really happy to finally be reading this series.
