Part of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, book 6
First published 2006
Someone wants Anita Blake dead. The vampire executioner and zombie animator discovers that professional killers are hunting her, their sights trained on collecting the bounty placed on her head. Anita has made plenty of enemies in her line of work, but now the supernatural world's deadliest predators are closing in. She finds herself accepting help from two unlikely sources: an alpha werewolf whose pack loyalty runs deeper than species boundaries, and a master vampire whose own interests align with keeping her alive. As the net tightens around her, Anita must navigate the dangerous politics between these supernatural factions while staying one step ahead of trained assassins. The tension builds as she realizes that survival means trusting creatures she has spent her career killing, forcing her to question everything she knows about the line between monster and ally in a world where the supernatural and human realms collide.
