In The Killing Dance, Anita Blake Book 6, Anita is once again the target. The book starts off with a nice dinner party that Anita is attending with Richard (her werewolf boyfriend) being interrupted by a call from Edward (a fellow vampire hunter). Edward informs Anita that a hit has been taken out on her life. He himself was offered $500,000 to take the job but turned it down because they are friends. He knows with a price tag that high it will be picked up and Anita will be a target. Edward says he is heading to town to help act as a body guard, but to lay low until they can be sure she is safe, which means tracking down where the money is coming from... no money, no assassination.

Things are also getting more complicated in the pack during this book. Anita and Richard constantly argue about the need to kill Marcus so that Richard may become the official pack leader. Anita continues to date both Richard and Jean Claude at Jean Claude's insistance. Meanwhile, across town someone is killing vampires and taking their hearts. There is never a dull day for Anita.

Even though Anita is engaged to Richard, she is constantly finding herself between the two men in her life, and one time as she stands between them and touches them both a power runs through all three of them. What is this strange power that happens when the three are together? Can they use it to help Richard gain control of the pack? Who put out the hit on Anita, and why?

The ending will surprise you!
