From the back cover
In Laurell K. Hamilton's New York Times bestselling series, vampire hunter and animator Anita Blake sinks her teeth into her work. But this day is busier than most. Two jobs pop up that make even Anita doubt her own capabilities: raising an entire graveyard of two-hundred-year-old corpses and finding out what happened to three Missouri teenagers -- slaughtered in a way she has never seen before. . . .

"Come morning, some of us would be alive and some of us wouldn't. . . .

Of course, maybe there was just the one newly dead vampire to deal with. If so, we might all see the sunrise. But I hadn't lived this long assuming the best. Assuming the worst was always safer. And usually truer."

I just love the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter books. What'll I do once I've devoured them all?

Richard (the werewolf) only appears on pp. 12-16 of this 370-page book, but there's lots of Jean-Claude (the vampire). Anita is hired to raise an entire graveyard of 200+-year-old corpses in Branson, Missouri. She meets fairie siblings Magnus & Dorcas (Dorrie) Bouvier, who run a restaurant called Bloody Bones, named after a Clive Barker-esque creature, a "children's boggle" (boogeyman, I guess) named Rawhead and Bloody Bones. Anita's protege Larry Kirkland features prominently.
