The sensational new novel from the New York Times bestselling author featuring her vampire-hunting heroine Anita Blake. When Anita Blake meets with prospective client Tony Bennington, who is desperate to have her reanimate his recently deceased wife, she is full of sympathy for his loss. Anita knows something about love, and she knows everything there is to know about loss. But what she also knows, though Tony Bennington seems unwilling to be convinced, is that the thing she can do as a necromancer isn't the miracle he thinks he needs. The creature that Anita could coerce to step out of the late Mrs. Bennington's grave would not be the lovely Mrs. Bennington. Not really. And not for long.
This is not my favorite Anita Blake book, but I'll take it. This book is unlike any of the other Anita books (with Micah maybe as the exception). Usually in the Anita world, there is always either police work or vampires/wereanimal politics. It was just a little strange to not have any of these. It is pretty much all about zombies.
I really liked how the story was told about how the book was written at the end. It is funny how the two different people could take the exact same real-life story and turn it into two completely different fictional stories.
Following LKH on Twitter has helped me understand her writing procedure better and I think it makes me anticipate and get more excited about the books coming out. Having the entire process in the back of this book has explained even further than she does in the blog and Twitter.
I will now attempt to wait patiently for Bullet to come out in June. How long do you think the patience will last?
