Blurb:
Anita Blake is small, dark, and dangerous. Her turf is the city of St. Louis. Her job: re-animating the dead and killing the undead who take things too far. But when the city’s most powerful vampire asks her to solve a series of vicious slayings, Anita must confront her greatest fear—her undeniable attraction to master vampire Jean-Claude, one of the creatures she is sworn to destroy...

Thoughts:
Though this is technically a re listen I don't think I was in the proper mood the first time I listened to this one. Because I don't remember much I think I'm in the proper mindset now so time to give a re listen
Btw I’m going to date myself but this book was published when I was 3 years man it gives me so much 90s nostalgia.
This is a long series so i’m going to try and keep up with whose who.
So we have Anita our feme fatale, we jean claude our master vampire who is infatuated with Anita. Of course he could treat all the ladies that way. We have a string of vampire murders. Oh and theirs a strip club.
Review
It very much had a film noir vibe to it. We have Anita, our femme fatale, who is “encouraged” to investigate a string of recent vampire murders. She solves the case with copious amounts of murder mayhem.
One of the things I had a hard time with was that, in the first half of the book, there were several characters introduced that already had a significant history with our femme fatale. So many and so much, that it felt like I was jumping into the 3rd or 4th book in the series not the first. I still enjoyed it and Phillip made me cry.
