My name is Anita Blake, and I have the highest kill count of any vampire executioner in the country. I'm a US Marshal who raises some of the best zombies. But after Master Vampire Jean-Claude and I announced our engagement, to everyone and everyone I became just his bride. This ruins my reputation as a tough nut to crack... in a way. Luckily, I'm still a zombie expert in professional circles. And right now the FBI has a problem with them. Someone started making zombie porn. I've seen so many crazy undead fetishes that this shouldn't have surprised me. But the women who became victims were not mindless, rotting corpses. In their eyes were visible souls trapped by the darkest kind of voodoo. Things like this do not pass without a trace for a person. And my soul may not survive without losses...
