Synopsis

Anita Blake may be small and young, but vampires call her the Executioner. Anita is a necromancer and vampire hunter in a time when vampires are protected by law--as long as they don't get too nasty. Now someone's killing innocent vampires and Anita agrees--with a bit of vampiric arm-twisting--to help figure out who and why.

Trust is a luxury Anita can't afford when her allies aren't human. The city's most powerful vampire, Nikolaos, is 1,000 years old and looks like a 10-year-old girl. The second most powerful vampire, Jean-Claude, is interested in more than just Anita's professional talents, but the feisty necromancer isn't playing along--yet. This popular series has a wild energy and humor, and some very appealing characters--both dead and alive.

As a kick off for a long series, this book caught my attention and I had the read the next three right away. The villian is great sweet and cute makes the best evil. Anita's life is very fast-paced good for the reader, so I imagine all she does is sleep between books.

i love this series, but i've been reading it out of order. the last books have been first. so this is the very first anita blake book, and its weird reading it. for one thing, i never knew she has been only in her 20s this whole time, i had pictured her older. also, she was much more a prude and prejudiced at the beginning. earlier books arent as good as the later ones, but if you start here at the proper place, im sure you'll love it.
