Dead Ice (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter)
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 fianc©e.
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 . . .
