*THIS IS A BOOK TWO! WHICH MEANS THERE MAY BE SPOILERS FOR BOOK 1 IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET*
Book 2 picks up a tiny bit after Guilty Pleasures and has Anita helping the police solve a crime involving flesh eating zombies it seems. Here we depart from the vamp world Jean Claude has tried to suck Anita into, and we enter the world Anita is most comfortable in, the world of reanimating the dead. We also get a small glimpse of just how powerful Anita could become if she continues under Jean Claude's influence.
It's fun, fast paced and interesting in the little twists and turns the narrative takes in trying to unravel the mystery.
This book is followed by Circus of the Damned
