She calls the police in on the case and everyone is stunned when the police are attacked by the dead women.Sylvie ends up bringing her favoriteIt was a good book to pull out and read when I needed something to do.

In this world, a dead bad guy is still a person's body,
For those of you who miss the early days of the Anita Blake series, when she was a loner and a tough cookie who lived by her own set of rules, only let one or two people in close and fought on the side of right youll like Gods and Monsters, there is a lot in common. Sylvie isn't a necromancer, but she is forced to work with one and she does have something seriously screwed up going on inside of her powerwise.Sylvie Lightner runs an investigative office called Shadows inquiries. She also just
It seemed like a lot of the the plot lines from the last book were left unexplored.
