Synopsis

When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she’s faced with something she’s never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people—kids, grandparents, soccer moms—all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master. And where there’s one martyr, there will be more…

But even vampires have monsters that they’re afraid of. And Anita is one of them…

Goodreads review by Penny Well Reads on May 31, 2021

I am so disappointed. I used to love this series so much, now everything feels like a mess with all the lovers, and repetitive with the action plots.
