this is an excellant series about a vampire hunter by Laurell K Hamilton. Anita Blake makes Buffy look like the biggest wimp in the entire world... be prepared to read a lot of books if u start on this tho. There are like 10 or something like that in the series... i have only actually read the most recent 4 or 5 .. because it is what katherine had at school ... i need to finish reading the beginning of the series but aim has zapped all my desire to read...
