Publisher's Blurb"When Anita Blake's boss at Animators, Inc., informs her that she's expected to raise 300-year-old zombies from a field of jumbled bones just to settle a land dispute, she's understandably annoyed. But as soon as she arrives in Branson, Missouri, to do the deed, the job gets more interesting. A psychotic sword-wielding vampire starts committing multiple murders in the area, and Anita must call on Jean-Claude, her powerful fanged suitor, for help. As always, Anita prevails over the undead, keeping Jean-Claude at arm's length, clearing the cemetery land of an ancient enchantment, and nailing the vampiric killer in one fell swoop.""First, there were the dead in the graveyard - two-hundred years dead. I'd been hired to raise them to settle a dispute over who owned the land they were buried in. Then there were the three dead teenagers in the woods, slaughtered in a way I had never seen before. And then they found the dead girl, drained of blood and left in her bed. I knew what that meant, all right. It didn't take a degree in preternatural studies to figure out that something was very wrong in and around Branson, Missouri. My name is Anita Blake. Welcome to my life..." |

When I got this book I was not looking forward to reading it. When I was a little girl I had a crazy granny that lived in an old creepy house and my mom would take us there and leave us with her during the summer. She would tell us horror stories to keep us "entertained" during those visits. Her favorite monster to tell us about was of course Bloody Bones because he lived in her attic. Bless her! She would have given any good writer a run for their money when it came to describing in detail all the things that Bloody Bones could and would do to you. Needless to say I am a 34 year old woman that cant sleep without a night light. I have a sister that cant sleep with the closet door open and a cousin that has to be able to see the front door from her bed. Pathetic arent we! Anyway I got the book from a friend and eventhough I had my reservations I pushed through my childish fears from the past and opened to page one. I did not go to sleep that night after reading it. Great book, but it scared the hell out of me! I have read other books that have had demons and what not in them and was never affected like that. Even now I am looking over my freakin shoulder. LKH really brought alot of things to the surface that have not been around in a long time. All I can say is that she is a great writer. My friend got a great laugh out of my terror so maybe you guys can also. :) Am I the only one like this? I am going to say more than likely YES.............
