Amazon.com Review

The third novel of Hamilton's Anita Blake series has the petite necromancer fighting a giant cobra and a rogue vampire, Alejandro, who wants her for his human servant. Anita is still resisting the advances of Jean-Claude, St. Louis's master vampire, but she does need him on her side, if not in her bed. Anita's reluctant involvement in the odd goings-on at the supernatural Circus of the Damned introduces her to Richard, the werewolf of her dreams, and Larry, her powerful but nervous partner in zombie-raising.

Mystery fans will love the tightly plotted, Paretsky-esque action, and horror fans will love just about everything in this unusual series.

One of the most fascinating fictional heroines since Scarlett O'Hara-and a hell of a lot more fun than most. (_Publishers Weekly_, starred review)

[A] gutsy, no-nonsense female unafraid to take on anything that the preternatural world throws her way. (_Library Journal_)
