Part of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, book 14
First published 2007
Anita Blake has spent years navigating the deadly world of vampire politics as a Federal Marshal who raises the dead and executes rogue vampires. Now she confronts a different kind of terror that has plagued women throughout history: she might be pregnant. The father could be a vampire, a werewolf, or another supernatural being entirely. Anita knows her dangerous career makes her unfit for motherhood. How can someone who spends her days hunting monsters and wielding necromantic powers raise a child? The ancient fear of pregnancy weighs heavier on her mind than any vampire conspiracy or supernatural threat she has faced. As a vampire executioner and federal law enforcement officer, Anita must decide whether her violent profession can coexist with bringing new life into the world. This ordinary human concern feels more daunting than any supernatural enemy.
