As she tries to balance her personal and professional life, she finds herself drawn into a series of bizarre and gruesome murders that bear the hallmark of an incubus - a powerful demon who feeds on human energy during sex. As Anita investigates the murders, she must navigate the treacherous waters of the supernatural world, where alliances are constantly shifting and enemies are never far away. Along the way, she encounters old friends and foes, including the enigmatic Jean-Claude, the master vampire of St. Louis, and Richard, the leader of the city's werewolf pack. One of the strengths of "Incubus Dreams" is Hamilton's ability to create a vivid and immersive world that is both terrifying and alluring. She skillfully blends elements of horror, mystery, and romance to create a story that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. At the heart of the novel is Anita herself, a strong and complex character who is constantly evolving and growing.
