Zombies give me the hibbie-jibbies. I feel sorry for them they didn't ask to be raised, but they can be dangerous and scary. Many times while reading, I had to say, Yuck and put the book down, but not for long, because I wanted to read what happened next.

Following the firs......more

Anita Blake is a badass slayer heroine in a dark fantasy world where vampires, witches, zombies and ghouls live (sort of live, being dead, right?) among humans, set in an......more
