But though she and Richard won’t be walking down any aisles, she can’t turn her back on him when he’s arrested on a rape charge in Tennessee. Anita knows firsthand that Richard has the morals of a saint—or at least a boy scout. But his guilt or innocence is not the issue. He’s behind bars, and in five days a full moon will rise

It is a fun book to read, with its diminutive, feisty heroin, Anita Blake, a formidable vampire hunter who now focuses on being an animator, one who raises the dead. . She is a professional animator (one who raises the dead) and a licensed vampire killer in an alternate earth where vampires have come out of the closet (coffin?) and are active participants in American life.
The style is part detective potboiler, part mystery, and part fantasy with supernatural portents. It carries the reader along from its first page to its last, never losing its momentum. In fact, it leaves the reader wanting more.
The first few books in the series were really good. The amped up Buffy-like character & theme were great and then it became all about the power struggle between Richard and Jean Claude and how every vampire and were wants to sleep with Anita and now it's just boring. It seems like every book has 100 pages of repeat information and Anita acting like a prude who sleeps with a dead man and always ends up naked in front of lots of people for some reason.
