I'm Anita Baker, expert on creatures of the night. Vampires
call me The Executioner. What I call them isn't repeatable.
Ever since the Supreme Court granted the undead equal rights, most people
think vampires are just ordinary folks with fangs. I know better.
I've seen their victims. I carry the scars...
In my job-I'm an animator; I raise the dead-I've seen jst about
everything. I've dined with shapeshifters, danced with werewolves,
and been wooed, but not won, by Jean-Claude, the most powerful bloodsucker
in St. Louis. When a serial killer started murdering vampires, it
was Jean-Claude who wanted me to find the killer.
Later, a rogue vamp named Alejandro hit town and wanted to make
me his human servant. A war of the undead had begun. Over me.
I'd have been flattered, if my life weren't at stake.
Speaking of life... and death... every animator worth her salt
knows that the older the zombie, the bigger the death needed to raise it.
After a few centuries, the only death "big enough" is a human sacrifice.
Now, I'm no assassin-sure I kill vampires-and I don't do it for the money-but
I don't kill people. Like I said, working for Animators, Inc. is
just a job, like selling insurance. But all the money in the world
wasn't enough for me to take on the particular job Harold Gaynor was offering.
Somebody else did, though-an insane animator. And he wasn't just
raising the dead... he was raising Hell.
And it was up to me to stop it....

Like I've said before, vampire books set in modern times just aren't
for me. This was a good, well written book. The plot was interesting
and the characters held your intrest. I also liked the fact that
other types of supernatural creatures of the night were also included,
rather than just vampires. Club Vampyre is actually a trilogy, consisting
of: Guilty Pleasures, The Laughing Corpse, and Circus of the Damned.
If you're into vampire stories set in modern times, this is a must read
book. Or, if your like me, and prefer vampire stories set in older
times, pass this one by and check out another one.
