"When a fifteen-year-old girl is abducted by vampires, it's up to U.S. Marshal Anita Blake to find her. And when she does, she's faced with something she's never seen before: a terrifyingly ordinary group of people--kids, grandparents, soccer moms--all recently turned and willing to die to avoid serving a master. And where there's one martyr, there will be more... But even vampires have monsters that they're afraid of. And Anita is one of them.."--

Review of 'Kiss the dead' on 'Goodreads'

Weirdly preachy in places, but much more in keeping with the stronger early works in terms of writing style, editing, and character strength. Lots of smut, but not in a bad way - it's got plot in it, and doesn't feel like the plot is only moonlighting between shags. As someone indifferent to smut, but enamored of plot and character, I had a good time - first book in the series since Obsidian Butterfly where I really felt moved by the story as a whole rather than isolated vignettes.
