Vampire hunter Anita Blake has always managed to overcome everything she faces. But this time there’s a monster that even she doesn’t know how to fight...A remote Florida island is the perfect wedding destination for the upcoming nuptials of Anita’s fellow U.S. Marshal and best friend, Edward.

There’s a strange power afoot that Anita has never confronted before, a force that’s rendering those around her helpless.

Hamilton remains one of the most inventive and exciting writers in the paranormal field.
If you’ve never read this series, I highly recommend/strongly suggest having the Anita Blake experience. Vampires, zombies, and shifters, oh my! And trust me, these are not your daughter’s vampires.
A sex-positive, kick-ass female protagonist.
Number one New York Times bestseller Hamilton is still thrilling fans...with her amazing multifaceted characters and intricate multilayered world, a mix of erotic romance, crime drama, and paranormal/fantasy fiction. Her descriptive prose is gritty and raw, with a mosaic of humor and horror to tell this complex, well-detailed story. But it’s her enigmatic stable of stars that continues to shine, managing their improbable interpersonal relationship dynamics.
“When female guests go missing from the wedding hotel, this getaway turns into a vampire hunter reunion…Hamilton is slowly shifting the focus away from Anita’s personal relationships and sexcapades and back toward mystery and action.”
“Exploring the emotional issues of weddings and relationships (monogamous and polyamorous), along with some explicit sex and lots of other-worldy fighting, this book packs a lot of action. Verdict: This strong entry in Hamilton’s long-running Anita Blake series is sure to draw in urban fantasy readers, newbies, and longtime fans.”
