Dead Ice by Laurell K. Hamilton

Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #24)

by Laurell K. Hamilton

Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton returns with another addictive adventure featuring vampire-hunting heroine Anita Blake, to thrill fans of Charlaine Harris and Anne Rice.

My name is Anita Blake and I have the highest kill count of any vampire executioner in the country. I'm a U.S. Marshal who can raise zombies with the best of them. But ever since master vampire Jean-Claude and I went public with our engagement, all I am to anyone and everyone is Jean-Claude's fiancée.

It's wreaking havoc with my reputation as a hard ass - to some extent. Luckily, in professional circles, I'm still the go-to expert for zombie issues. And right now, the FBI is having one hell of a zombie issue.

Someone is producing zombie porn. I've seen my share of freaky undead fetishes, so this shouldn't bother me. But the women being victimised aren't just mindless, rotting corpses. Their souls are trapped behind their eyes, signalling voodoo of the blackest kind.

It's the sort of case that can leave a mark on a person. And my own soul may not survive unscathed . . .

It was good to not have a sex scene in each chapter, but I was expecting more detectivesque plot instead of the whole sentimental crap with all Anita's boyfriends, and I didn't like how manipulative they were with the extra girlfriend issue, why Anita has to add something she doesn't want. I get really frustrated with all that BS.
