About this book
In a world where zombies roam freely, Anita Blake, a renowned expert, finds herself facing a terrifying new threat.
Anita Blake makes her living off of zombies—but these aren’t the kind she knows so well. These creatures hunt in daylight, and are as fast and strong as vampires. If they bite you, you become just like them.
Micah’s estranged father lies dying, rotting away inside from some strange ailment that has his doctors whispering about “zombie disease.”
What could this mysterious disease be? Where will it stop? Even Anita Blake doesn’t know.

She...

I really enjoyed this installment of Anita Blake. I really enjoy the books featuring Edward. I like the characters and their development. So glad to finally meet Mica's family. Hamilton is a superb author and I am grateful she shares her stories. Thank You! Oh, this is perhaps my seventh time reading along while listening to this series. Top marks to the narrator! )
