Smolder Cover and Cover Copy

Sep 16, 2022
I’m so excited to share the beautiful cover and spoiler free cover copy of Smolder, the next Anita Blake novel with you!
Hints and one reveal that starts on page one, so I’m not giving anything away.
 
Vampire hunter Anita Blake is no stranger to killing monsters. It’s part of her job as a Preternatural US Marshal, after all. But even her experience isn’t enough to stop something that is bent on destroying everything—and everyone—she loves.
Anita Blake is engaged to Jean-Claude, the new vampire king of America. Humans think she’s gone over to the side of the monsters. The vampires fear that their new king has fallen under the spell of the most powerful necromancer in a thousand years.
In the midst of wedding preparations—including getting Edward, aka U.S Marshal Ted Forrester, fitted as best man—Anita gets a call that the local police need her expertise at a brutal murder scene linked to a nationwide slaughter of vampires and humans, dubbed the Sunshine Murders.
But there is more than just a murderer to catch: an ancient evil has arrived in St. Louis to challenge Jean-Claude for his crown, his life, Anita, and all they hold dear. Even with Jean-Claude’s new powers as king and Anita’s necromancy, it isn’t enough, however; they must embrace their triumvirate, or allow primeval darkness to spread across the country, possessing first the vampires and then the humans. Evil will triumph unless Jean-Claude and Anita can prove that love conquers all.
Available March 21, 2023!

  1. This cover … Woaoouh !! I love the texture on the roses, the smouldering effect. When I see this cover I expect darkness, destruction, danger. And the summary seems to confirm my impressions. Also I don’t remember such “dark” cover from the previous books, there is something poignant about this cover. I hope it’s only a bad speculation from me…
    I feel like this book is going to be a rollercoaster for the characters and the readers. We have an investigation, a mortal enemy, romance and the cherry on top Edward !!! Let’s not forget when Death is present it rains corpses. Can’t wait to read it !!!!!!

  2. I can’t wait! This sounds like they must reconnect with Richard. He has been missing from the recent books. How do I get the free copy?

  3. Hints please!!
    There’s no amount or size of spoiler that would make me not buy this book! Honestly I’m excited for it. There are less than a handful of authors that I wait for and devour their work. LKH is one of the precious few.

  5. I am so happy to see Anita Blake is back.. been wondering A LOT… what happened to the deal with Samuel’s family after sending Samson back without trying to “bring” him into a siren?
    Ever going to see Peter go on his first Hunt?
    Olaf/Otto
    Maryanne the Wiccan teacher fell out of the books.
    Bryce be back?
    Hoping some will be answered soon.
    Thank you
