A psychotic sword-wielding vampire starts  committing multiple murders in the area, and Anita must call on Jean-Claude, her  powerful fanged suitor, for help. As always, Anita prevails over the undead, keeping  Jean-Claude at arm's length, clearing the cemetery land of an ancient enchantment, and  nailing the vampiric killer in one fell swoop.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[In some of Laurell Hamilton's excellent supernatural thrillers about Anita Blake, the Vampire Executioner, we forget that Anita raises the dead for a living, and that her involvements with the undead, the temporarily furry and the St Louis Police Department are only a sideline. In <em>Bloody Bones</em>, she is hired to raise the victims of some long-ago mass slaughter, a pile of dismembered arms and legs and skulls and ribs, and identify them. Her employers want to build a luxury hotel on ground claimed by the Bouvier clan as an old burial ground--and the Bouviers are not entirely human... Add to the mix murders too brutal to be obviously vampiric, a feud between Anita's vampire date Jean-Claude and the older vampire who rules the neighbouring countryside--and we have the sort of complicated mess of intrigue which Hamilton always handles so well. Anita is an interesting character because so torn between what she is, a necromancer with the power to compel the dead, and a person far too accomplished at violence, and her religious beliefs, as well as between her attraction to Jean-Claude and her love for the werewolf Richard. She is a fascinating series character because she changes so much.--<em>Roz Kaveney</em>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Meh, I could have liked it better but I was really bored with Hamilton's interpretation of Rawhead. It didn't have much to do with the legend, nor did it resemble Clive Barker's completely disgusting version, which left it floating somewhere in the unsatisfactory in-between.

    <![CDATA[In some of Laurell Hamilton's excellent supernatural thrillers about Anita Blake, the Vampire Executioner, we forget that Anita raises the dead for a living, and that her involvements with the undead, the temporarily furry and the St Louis Police Department are only a sideline. In <em>Bloody Bones</em>, she is hired to raise the victims of some long-ago mass slaughter, a pile of dismembered arms and legs and skulls and ribs, and identify them. Her employers want to build a luxury hotel on ground claimed by the Bouvier clan as an old burial ground--and the Bouviers are not entirely human... Add to the mix murders too brutal to be obviously vampiric, a feud between Anita's vampire date Jean-Claude and the older vampire who rules the neighbouring countryside--and we have the sort of complicated mess of intrigue which Hamilton always handles so well. Anita is an interesting character because so torn between what she is, a necromancer with the power to compel the dead, and a person far too accomplished at violence, and her religious beliefs, as well as between her attraction to Jean-Claude and her love for the werewolf Richard. She is a fascinating series character because she changes so much.--<em>Roz Kaveney</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[When Anita Blake's boss at Animators, Inc., informs her that she's expected to  raise 300-year-old zombies from a field of jumbled bones just to settle a land dispute,  she's understandably annoyed. But as soon as she arrives in Branson, Missouri, to do the  deed, the job gets more interesting. A psychotic sword-wielding vampire starts  committing multiple murders in the area, and Anita must call on Jean-Claude, her  powerful fanged suitor, for help. As always, Anita prevails over the undead, keeping  Jean-Claude at arm's length, clearing the cemetery land of an ancient enchantment, and  nailing the vampiric killer in one fell swoop.]]>

    <![CDATA[When Anita Blake's boss at Animators, Inc., informs her that she's expected to  raise 300-year-old zombies from a field of jumbled bones just to settle a land dispute,  she's understandably annoyed. But as soon as she arrives in Branson, Missouri, to do the  deed, the job gets more interesting. A psychotic sword-wielding vampire starts  committing multiple murders in the area, and Anita must call on Jean-Claude, her  powerful fanged suitor, for help. As always, Anita prevails over the undead, keeping  Jean-Claude at arm's length, clearing the cemetery land of an ancient enchantment, and  nailing the vampiric killer in one fell swoop.]]>
