لذت‌های گناهکار (آنی تا بلک، شکارچی خون‌آشام، جلد اول)

Amazon.com Review Anita Blake may be small and young, but vampires call her the Executioner. Anita is a necromancer and vampire hunter in a time when vampires are protected by law--as long as they don't get too nasty. Now someone's killing innocent vampires and Anita agrees--with a bit of vampiric arm-twisting--to help figure out who and why. Trust is a luxury Anita can't afford when her allies aren't human. The city's most powerful vampire, Nikolaos, is 1,000 years old and looks like a 10-year-old girl. The second most powerful vampire, Jean-Claude, is interested in more than just Anita's professional talents, but the feisty necromancer isn't playing along--yet. This popular series has a wild energy and humor, and some very appealing characters--both dead and alive. Review 'Death and gore galore ... Hamilton writes with ease and vigour...''

Jeg dreper dem", sier Anita Blake. Det er likevel duket for romantikk i Anitas møte med vampyrer og varulver. Anita Blake er en av åtte lisensierte vampyrdrepere i USA, der vampyrene lever side om side med menneskene. Men dersom en vampyr bruker magi for å drepe, kan han eller hun beordres til henrettelse uten rettssak. I tillegg er Anita også en "animator", noe som vil si at hun kan vekke døde til live for en kort periode. Denne evnen bruker hun i sitt arbeid for firmaet Animators Inc, der hun vekker døde til live for ulike formål som for eksempel mordetterforskning og arvespørsmål, eller for etterlatte som ønsker å ta et siste farvel.
