Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter: The First Death #2A

Sean's attack on Anita accomplishes nothing but his own death. Anita later joins with her mentor, Manny, and they go to the day-time resting place for Sean's kiss. The vampires have all fled the house, however, the left behind a body, hanging from the rafters. Anita heads to her day job at Animators, Inc., where things go from bad to worst in the form of Edward, a hunter the vampires call Death. Edward says he may know where the kiss is hiding, but when Anita refuses to play his game, he refuses to to divulge the information. At a cemetery that night, where Anita raises a zombie, Edward shows up again, apologizing--in his own way--for what happened at Anita's office earlier in the day.
