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.
--------------------------
I really enjoyed the first book of the series.

Thank you Sunneschii! I already started with the book and I am halfway through it. I suspect that the what I encountered earlier this summer isn't Laurell K. Hamilton getting lazy, she just writes like that. There's always lots of talk and negotiation with evil creatures all out to get her. But, at 160 pages into the story, there hasn't been a sex scene, yet, so I'm ok with it ;-)

The first book in the famous Anita Blake series. The things I noticed I didn't particularly like about this book were the same I already noticed in book 14 (or whatever). Then I thought it was down to it, well, being book 14 in a series. Now I know it's not her being lazy, but her distinct writing style. Short sentences. Anita talking to herself. Yeah right. The other aspect I don't like is, the timeframe. All books I read so far cover only two or three days. During these days you find out everything Anita says and does, including what color shirt she wears despite the heat in order to cover the gun. I'd prefer to get some background on people, stories, even St. Louis and not exclusively Anita's inner monologue.
