Smoulder (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter #29) by Laurell K. Hamilton

MY NAME IS ANITA BLAKE AND I'M NO STRANGER TO KILLING MONSTERS. BUT THIS TIME, IT'S PERSONAL. . .

The wedding of the century is almost here. My wedding - to Jean-Claude, the new vampire king of America. But not everyone wishes us well. Humans think I'm on the side of monsters. And the vampires fear their king is under the spell of the most necromancer in a thousand years - me.

When the St. Louis police summon me to a brutal murder scene linked to the nationwide slaughter of vampires and humans, I know there is more than just a killer to catch. An ancient evil has arrived in town, hell bent on destroying everything - and everyone - I love.

Even I cannot face this alone. Jean-Claude and I must embrace our triumvirate to save both vampires and humans, and to prove that love conquers all.
