Synopsis

In the sixth adventure in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Anita Blake’s unique skills make her a wanted woman—by vampire, by werewolf, and by a hit man...
 
Though she’s dating a vampire and a werewolf, Anita is keeping them at arm’s length. Which isn’t easy considering that Jean-Claude is the master vampire of St. Louis and Richard Zeeman is the sexiest junior high school teacher she’s ever seen.
 
Just to complicate Anita’s already messy life, someone has put a price on her head. Love cannot save her this time, so she turns to Edward, hit man extraordinaire for help. But finding the person behind it won’t be easy, because she’s made a lot of enemies—human and otherwise.

Anita doesn’t just date any two guys she dates two leaders of their supernatural communities. One rules with an iron fist, the other through peace and love. It’s a nice contradiction. As always, her life goes from one shoot-out to another. What is her bullet budget like? The dependable Edward is a great character that I hope we get more of. The Anita Series are quick, fast-paced reads. I always enjoy them.

Goodreads review by Jilly on November 08, 2015

Anita Blake has a hit out on her in this book. And, the person who put the contract on her is offering a half a million dollars. Hell, I'd do it for a candy bar and a bottle of wine. It could even be a box of wine. Really, she's pretty unlikable. She finds out about this through Edward, one of my fav......more

Goodreads review by VampireNovelFan on January 08, 2012

This is probably my favorite book of the whole series. It cuts out all of the BS and we get to the meat of what everybody wants to see. There is so much focus on Anita, Jean-Claude, and Richard and by book 6 it was needed. Of course, she's got a half-million dollar bounty on her head that she needs......more

Goodreads review by Laurie (barksbooks) on May 04, 2012

In The Killing Dance Anita Blake discovers someone has put out a serious hit on her life, she’s still torn between Richard the werewolf and Jean Claude the vampire and she’s drawn deeply into the tangled politics of the were-pack. There’s isn’t much in the way of police work, just a lot of pack powe......more

Goodreads review by Tilly on January 01, 2012

Anita Blake, vampire hunter and animator. A fiercely loyal friend with survival instincts that would make your blood freeze and coil. There is so much rage in this woman, she makes the Hulk look like Stawberry Shortcake! I went for the hallway and the sound of screams. As always, the murder scenes i......more
