Hamilton doesn’t write simple stories about vampires, werewolves, and those who would kill them. Her protagonist, Anita Blake, lives in a complicated world that recognizes that some monsters are good and some are evil. Blake kills the bad ones. In BLOODY BONES, Blake raises the dead to solve an age-old question of land ownership, and something horrible is unleashed. Kimberly Alexis performs the book with a toughness that would be expected of a woman who kills monsters for a living. She knows how to make the listener appreciate the complexity of Blake's life, even as the heroine is drawn ever deeper into the world of the macabre. Her snarling werewolves, seductive vampires, and smug businessmen paint a frightening picture of a strange world. M.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
