This is the first book in the Anita Blake series. I just reread this for about the third time, I love this series, it is definitely a sci/fi or fantasy because in these novels Vampires exist, as well as shape shifters or Were's (several species) and vampires are legal citizens in the US. In order to legally deal with criminal vampires the government issues death warrants and vampire hunters then hunt down and kill them, it is illegal to kill a vampire without a warrant. In this novel, we are just being introduced to the world of Anita Blake, we meet a few vampires, as well as Edward, a bounty hunter, and Rafael, the Rat King, he is the leader of the local group of wererats. I love these and reread them fairly often.
