BURNT OFFERINGS

Anita Blake began raising zombies and killing vampires several novels ago. Now she's the lover of a French vampire who is the king of all neck-biters in St. Louis, and she's involved with the top dog of the city's werewolf population. These relationships involve fighting other vampires on behalf of her lovers. Narrator Kimberly Alexis, who performed the previous Anita Blake novels, now "owns" the voices. Alexis has Blake's tough sexuality down, and she also does a mean assortment of werewolves, were-rats, were-leopards, and vampires from different lands. She makes shifting from male to female, human to monster sound simple and natural. Listening is a pleasure. M.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
