Anita Blake Series Book 2

Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter for Animators, Inc., is offered a cool mil to raise a 283-year-old corpse. But she knows that "the older the zombie, the bigger the death needed to raise it". Only a human sacrifice is "big" enough to raise this old soul--and Anita's no murderer.

Now, a creature from beyond the grave is tearing a swath of murder through St. Louis. And Anita will learn that there are some secrets better left buried—and some people better off dead..."

"After a few centuries, the only death 'big enough' is a human sacrifice. I know, because I'm an animator. My name is Anita Blake.

Working for Animators, Inc. is just a job - like selling insurance. But all the money in the world wasn't enough for me to take on the particular job Harold Gaynor was offering. Somebody else did, though - a rogue animator. Now he's not just raising the dead ... he's raising Hell. And it's up to me to stop it ... "

Anita Blake Series Book 1

"I don't date vampires. I kill them" Love this book. Anita Blake is a one strong female lead character and she's very funny! It's not the same as with the other vampire books out there. A good one that can be compared to Anne Rice's novels. I think this is a very long series with 18 or 19 books? Anyway, I liked the first one, I just hope there'll be more Jean-Claude moments in book 2.

I heard they're considering making a movie/tv series out of this series. Jennifer Garner would be the perfect choice for Anita Blake. :)

"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..." http://www.laurellkhamilton.org

Dead in the Family

If you guys remember in the the last book, Dead and Gone, there was this question:

Niall told Sookie "the vampire loves you."

Sookie's question was "who's that vampire: Bill or Eric?"
I think the answer is now obvious (see book cover) : Book 10 is about Eric and Sookie. I love Eric okay, but i love Bill more! Urrghhh!!

Can't wait for May!!
