"Necromancer Anita Blake is small, dark, and dangerous. Her turf is the city of St. Louis. Her job: U.S. Marshal—Preternatural Branch. She’s faced horrifying monsters and brutal killers and come out the other side still standing. Considering how things in her life tend to go, Anita never expected her walk down the aisle with Jean-Claude to go smoothly. They’ve already been confronted with naysayers and a power-hungry ancient evil, but now Anita...

Vampire hunting heroine Anita Blake faces creatures that hunt in daylight and are faster and stronger than vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them. And round and round it goes. Can Anita stop them before more humans perish in agony?

While investigating a double homicide in faerie, Meredith must avoid assassination attempts, attend Goblin Court, and work to produce an heir. However, when Meredith embraces a magical deity, she soon discovers that in her feverish, frequent, and erotic attempts to reproduce a powerful magic swells within her.

Meredith Gentry struggles to fulfill her obligation to the world of Faerie by conceiving an heir to the throne of the Unseelie Court in order to restore magic and life to the fey kingdom, but her quest is threatened by the intrigues of her scheming uncle, the King of Light and Illusion, as well as her own wild and unpredictable powers.

No one seems to trust a woman who sleeps with the monsters. Still, when a vampire serial killer sends her a head from Las Vegas, Anita has to warn Sin City's local authorities what they're dealing with. Only it's worse than she thought. Police officers and one executioner...

Edward, a monster hunter even more ruthless than Anita, asks her to come to Albuquerque to help him track down a creature so vicious that even he is spooked: it rips apart its victims and leaves its survivors skinned alive. For help in the investigation, they have to call on the city's master vampire, Itzpapalotl (Aztec for "obsidian butterfly"). This former Aztec priestess/nightclub owner agrees to answer questions--but only after dazzlingly displaying...

These days, Anita Blake is less interested in vampire politics than in an ancient, ordinary dread she shares with women down the ages: she may be pregnant. And, if she is, whether the father is a vampire, a werewolf, or someone else entirely, she knows perfectly well that being a Federal Marshal known for raising the dead, and being a vampire executioner, is no way to bring up a baby.--From publisher description.
