I've never read a writer with a more fertile imagination DIANA GABALDON

Danger is closer to home than ever before in the new book in the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, series.

My name is Anita Blake and my family think I'm marrying a demon. If they'd ever met a real demon, they'd understand the difference . . .

Considering my dark and dangerous past, I never expected preparations for my wedding to Jean-Claude to go smoothly. We've already faced naysayers and a power-hungry ancient evil and come out the other side still standing. But now I need to do the one thing that actually scares me - introduce my very religious, very human relatives to my fiancΓ©, the newly crowned vampire king of America.

As I try to keep the peace between the family I left behind and the family I've chosen, dark forces jump at the chance to take advantage of the chaos. With our happy-ever-after and everyone's immortal souls hanging in the balance, it's time to face a hard truth . . .

Blood makes you related, but only loyalty makes you family.

Readers can't get enough of the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter:

'Anita Blake novels are my addiction'

'Vampires, zombies and guns, oh my!'

'I have loved every single book in this amazing series, have fallen in love and lust with many characters and desperately hope that there will be more'

'I am hooked'

'I couldn't love Anita and her adventures with the supernatural community any more'
