If you do then meet ANITA BLAKE, Vampire Hunter and Bad A** Extrodinare!!
Anita Blake is a fictional character in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series of novels by Laurell K. Hamilton.
The series takes place in a parallel fantasy world where vampires, shape shifters, werewolves, faeries, etc. exist. Her night job, and primary source of income, is the legal profession of re-animating the dead. As an "animator" in a parallel St. Louis, her job entails using magical abilities to bring temporary life to dead bodies in order to question them for legal purposes. She is a necromancer, which allows her to control the dead, including vampires and zombies, but not ghosts and ghouls. She is also a licensed vampire hunter/executioner, with eventual empowerment as a Federal Marshal. In her world this profession involves tracking down and killing vampires who have murdered humans. She is also held in retainer for the Regional Preternatural Investigation Team (RPIT, pronounced Rip-it), which investigates supernatural crimes committed involving magic, vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures.
A strong protagonist in the series, Blake is very direct, flippant, and highly competent in the professions she is involved in. She is trained in judo, kenpo and knows how to use several weapons, but is most efficient with guns, the bigger,the better.
Just as a side note, THESE BOOKS ARE VERY EXPLICIT AND NOT FOR THE YOUNG OR FAINT OF HEART!
I would suggest starting with the first book in the series, Guilty Pleasures and reading through but if you're already a fan or if you just want to jump in then here is Blood Noir which is the 16th book in the series.
This is a brand new Hardcover Book which retails for $25.95
I am trying to decide if I want to part with my set (I have them all) If I do, you can get them here.
