I don’t date vampires. I kill them.

My name is Anita Blake. Vampires call me the Executioner. What I call them isn’t repeatable. Ever since the Supreme Court granted the undead equal rights, most people think vampires are just ordinary folks with fangs. I know better. I’ve seen their victims. I carry the scars...

But now a serial killer is murdering vampires, and the most powerful bloodsucker in town wants me to find the killer.

Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton gives you a glimpse into a world where vampires walk among us, holding rights while lurking in the shadows. Follow Anita Blake as she delves into the dark underworld to uncover the truth and confront creatures much more dangerous than imagined.
