Despite my frustration at the very slow pace of the Anita/Jean-Claude pairing (Anita doesn't even get a single KISS in this one!), Anita is one badass female heroine! She's smart, tough, sexy and witty. In addition to Anita's characterization, the plot was enjoyably dark. There's a zombie on the loose eating
whole families. A wheelchair-bound prostitute wanted as a human sacrifice to raise zombies. A creepy, extremely powerful Latina Voodoo priestess who has horrible creatures hiding in her basement, and can burn your skin with just her spit! This story grabbed me and didn't let go. I'm searching my library for the next Anita Black installment right now :)
