Circus of the Damned

While the human forces fighting against vampires grow more and more desperate, the vampire community is on the brink of winning the right to vote. This political power struggle backdrops the third installment in Laurell K. Hamilton's sexy vampire mystery series starring tough-as-incisors vampire "executioner" (formerly a "slayer," she's been forced to go legit) Anita Blake. As the slight but seductive Blake fends off the propositions of master vampire Jean-Claude, rogue undead newcomer Alejandro also wants to sink his teeth into her. But never one to turn away from a fight, Blake fearlessly unleashes a full-on war against the lords of darkness.
