Here is my review for book 2 in the Anita Blake series. This one was a little longer and more gory than the first. It had more zombie and voodoo action than actual vampire plot.
The cover is gorgeous. I love the old cover art more than the new ones that show on the book websites. This book started off with Anita meeting with a guy who would pay out the ass to raise a old old zombie. Basically it would take a human sacrifice to make it happen and Anita refused and basically put herself on the guy's shit list. Then she was called into a crime scene that was gruesome and bloody. It was a family and there was a little boy that was kidnapped... later on the little boy also becomes a monster meal. Anita meets with the very important voodoo priestess Dominga Salvadore, who basically sends zombies to kill her in her own home. She finds out that her partner Manny did human sacrifices for the Senora, and he left her for his current wife Rosita who is religious as hell.
Basically, Anita kills a lot of bad guys, and zombies. She meets Jean-Claude at his new comedy club called The Laughing Corpse. He basically tells her that she has to obey as his human servant so he won't get mutinied against by the other vampires for not being able to control Anita.
The one thing I love about the titles is that they are names of places that are all vampire based in the novel. Jean-Claude is the master of the city so he basically owns Guilty Pleasures and The Laughing Corpse.
I don't want to give to much more away but the end is so amazing, and it sheds more light onto Jean-Claude and Anita's bond.
