"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'

4 stars

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.
