Answer: the hospital

They go to the hospital to see the survivors. They turn out to be just another kind of zombie.

No, there is not a Saint Lucia hospital in Albuquerque. As far as my friends and I can figure Laurell is actually talking about St. Joseph's due to the description and location. If anyone knows for sure, let me know.
7. Anita says that her "life style was a sort of passive suicide."

Answer: True

Anita precedes this statement by saying "I was twenty-six, and if the next four years were anything like the last four, I'd never see thirty. I'd never really thought about it in so many words, but old age wasn't one of my biggest worries. I really didn't expect to get there. My life style was a sort of passive suicide."
8. What is Detective Ramirez's first name?

Answer: Hernando

Hernando is his first name, which he repeatedly asks Anita to call him by. She doesn't call him by his first name as a distancing technique. But after she admits to him that she is taken she doesn't have a problem with it.
9. Who did Anita kill that ended up with her owing Edward a favor?

Answer: Harley

Anita killed Harley in "The Killing Dance." Edward was down for the count and Harley freaked. Anita killed him before he could kill her.

Answer: Russell

Anita broke Russell's nose. He made the mistake of threatening Donna's children. Anita will put up with just about anything, but she has a soft spot for kids.

Answer: quarrelsome woman

16. Here is an easy one. Who is the 'Undertaker'?

Answer: Edward

Edward was called the 'Undertaker' by Van Cleef. Edward and Simon talk about extra stripes on Van Cleef's shoulder so I'm thinking government, CIA, special forces. Check out a book called "Brotherhood of the Rose", it just screams Van Cleef and Edward.
17. Who wanted Anita to do a spell of protection for him?

Answer: Riker

Riker is a pot hunter - no, not drugs, but artifacts. The big bad monster is after him so he wants a better protection spell than he already has. That just goes to show that you should not steal from the dead.

Answer: Homady Custom XTP

19. What does Anita not like the texture of and therefore she won't eat it?

Answer: veal

20. What analogy did Anita present that summed up her and Edward's relationship?

Answer: Frankenstein and his monster

Olaf said that the way Edward was smiling at Anita was like a teacher with a pupil that was doing well. Anita replies that it is more like Frankenstein and his monster.
