Hit List

by Laurell K. Hamilton, 320 pages

Anita Blake, Federal Marshall and vampire hunter, has once again teamed up with Edward to investigate a string of murders in the Pacific Northwest.  Only this time she knows who the culprits are, but due to some very dangerous and archaic vampire laws, Anita can't reveal their identity without risking the lives of the police she is helping.  An even larger danger lurks behind the masked murders, one that won't stop she has Anita in her power.

"Hit List" is a fast-paced paranormal thriller (although not for the faint of heart- or stomach!)  Hamilton is great with the gritty action, and no-details-spared descriptions, so I always look forward to her books.  This one was a quicker read, and the major threat that's been building for the last 9 books or so, comes to a head.  I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with how quickly (and easily) everything was resolved.  Hopefully, Hamilton comes up with some new scary bogeyman for the next one.
