Listen to it because for the first time Anita Blake is without the aid of friends and it will reveal her true strength. Although she has dealt with most of the matters on her own she had the luxury of friends all the time because of which she had some moral support. Now her lover and her boyfriend are both busy with other things and the vampire hunter is running for her life because 500,000 dollars have been put on her head.
She does not know the complete reason for her current problem but one thing is for sure i.e her enemy wants her dead this time. She has killed and arrested many vampires in the past and that could be the reason that they have joined hands against her as she is the biggest threat to them.
Laurell K. Hamilton is the master of writing vampire stories, Smolder and Death of a Darklord are proof of all this. Anita Blake has proved to be a survivor in all the previous parts and this war has become so personal for her that she is going to get to the one who is at the core. Kimberly Alexis’ narration has rightfully depicted the aggression which is there in Anita Blake’s character.
She does not want to contact her friends, she has decided to take the war back to the opponent and she will not rest until the money tag on her head is abolished forever along with the one who has put it on her. Initially, the story appears to be a race against time and it turns into an action-packed thing later on.
