published description: Anita Blake has the highest kill count of any vampire executioner in the country. She’s a U.S. Marshal who can raise zombies with the best of them. But ever since she and master vampire Jean-Claude went public with their engagement, all she is to anyone and everyone is Jean-Claude’s fiancée.

It’s wreaking havoc with her reputation as a hard ass—to some extent. Luckily, in professional circles, she’s still the go-to expert for zombie issues. And right now, the FBI is having one hell of a zombie issue.

Someone is producing zombie porn. Anita has seen her share of freaky undead fetishes, so this shouldn’t bother her. But the women being victimized aren’t just mindless, rotting corpses. Their souls are trapped behind their eyes, signaling voodoo of the blackest kind.

It’s the sort of case that can leave a mark on a person. And Anita’s own soul may not survive unscathed . . .

I'll do my normal re-read to get all the details for real but, first impression was good. Figured out part of the mystery about halfway thru but, the other part was surprise at the end, which was cool. Some interesting appearances from old and new characters and very little time with some characters - lots to deal with so, understandable that not everybody has time on stage. Not one of my favorites of the series because I didn't get a big 'wow' from it but, still love the series in general and enjoyed it.
