Dead Ice

Dead Ice by Laurell K. Hamilton, 566 pages

This is another typical Hamilton book: vampires, shapeshifters, witches and sex, with Anita Blake at the center.  The main story is about Anita trying to help the FBI with a case that seems to involve a necromancer that is capable of raising a zombie that appears to be human.  These zombies are being used in sex films and Anita and the FBI are determined to stop him.   Of course, nothing in Anita's world is ever simple, so this case becomes even more awful than she could have dreamed.  In between, she is trying to plan weddings and commitment ceremonies and work out politics in her world with the vampires and shapeshifters.  I liked the book.  I think that people who are fans of her books will probably enjoy it.  However, the people who were fans before all of the sex, who liked them because of the fantasy aspect and fell away because of the sex, definitely will not want to come back to this one.
