‘I don’t date vampires. I kill them.’

My name is Anita Blake. Vampires call me the Executioner. What I call them isn’t repeatable.

Ever since the Supreme Court granted the undead equal rights, most people think vampires are just ordinary folks with fangs. I know better. I’ve seen their victims. I carry the scars … But now a serial killer is murdering vampires – and the most powerful bloodsucker in town wants me to find the killer.

 

I kind of, sort of feel sorry for Laurell. K. Hamilton.

Like Anne Rice and her book The Mummy – LKH was hijacked by UnHolyWood.

Anita became Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Mummy became….The Mummy with Rachel Weisz and Brendan Foster and John Hannah (which BTW, I loved as a movie!)

Where was I ?

Oh. I’ve read multiple Anita Blake books. Until they got silly AF. And I read the first LKH book about Merry Gentry…

Laurell K. Hamilton’s ‘Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter’ novels have established her as a force to be reckoned with. Her voice is fresh, her style sensual, her characters leap off the page and her blend of the contemporary and the supernatural is both original and exciting. Now, in A KISS OF SHADOWS, she introduces readers to an unforgettable new heroine: Meredith Gentry.

A Los Angeles private investigator with a strange speciality – supernatural crime, Merry has an even stranger secret: she’s a Faerie princess in hiding, and on the run from her own otherworldly realm. For her aunt, the malevolent Queen of Air and Darkness, has dispatched her chief bodyguard back to the mortal world to fetch Meredith back, whether she likes it or not. She is to be the pawn in a plot that will transform the future of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Her role: to enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful – and immortal – men in the world of the Sidhe. Her reward: the crown. The penalty for refusal: death…

Rich, sensual and full of earthly pleasures, dazzling magic and memorable characters, some as deadly as they are beautiful, A KISS OF SHADOWS is an unbridled tour-de-force of the imagination where folklore, myth and legend come together with thrilling, erotically-charged adventure.

 

As they always say – and I was told time after time – SEX SELLS.

My novel had no sexy sex scenes.

My bad :o(
