Rendition As Books The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #4)
A dumb girl in love with both a vampire and a werewolf? This sounds slightly familiar...
But, hey, this book was written first so I have a pretty good idea on who might have had the original idea.... (I'm smart like that.)
I liked this book slightly better than the last one. Anita is still pretty annoying, but I can still appreciate a few things about her.
I crossed my arms on my stomach. A psychologist would have said I was closed off, uncommunicative. Fuck them.
See, I like that!
In this book, we have Anita trying to solve a case in which several shapeshifters have gone missing. She is also trying to figure out her relationship with Richard, a werewolf. Things get a little hairy with him.. (haha, hairy...see what I did there?) Strangely, for a girl who made a big statement about the fact that she won't date monsters, she is sure singing a different tune all of the sudden. I will go out on a limb here and say that humans dating animals is creepy. And, Richard definitely showed himself to be an animal in this book. His reaction to a very disturbing "snuff film" was equally disturbing.
Hey, crabman!
But, for some reason, that doesn't scare Anita off. And, now she has agreed to date Jean Claude, the vampire king, at the same time as her wolf-man. That is one scary threesome.
Edward is becoming one of my favorite characters in this series. He is such a heartless mercenary, and yet he has a soft-spot for Anita. It cracked me up when he told Anita why he was following her:
"Following you around lets me kill a lot of people."
That's very true, because as I have mentioned before, Anita has a big mouth and ends up having multiple attempts on her life in every book. Any bloodthirsty killer would love to follow her around and kill all of the people who are trying to kill her. He gets to look like a hero, all while fulfilling his murdery dreams. It's a win-win.
I hope Edward will keep showing up in the next books, but I have a feeling that there might be a point where he gets hired to kill Anita. I will actually be on Team Edward at that point.

What a treat, to find out you have a cousin who shares your reading habits! My public library has this book on order and Ive been waiting for it for months! While visiting over New Years, my cousin & I got discussing this series, and she sent me home with a suitcase full of reading materiala happy New Year indeed.Although some aspects of the series are silly, Im enjoying it despite that. I mean Anita accepts a marriage proposal from a man (well, a werewolf) she really barely knowsand thatI'm always in search of a good vampire story, so I read the first four Anita Blake books. I think Laurell K. Hamilton had a potentially interesting concept creating a world where most supernatural elements are real and integrated into society. I like the concept of were-(insert any animal here). What I don't like about Anita Blake books is Anita Blake! It's hard to read books when the protagonist has an abrasive personality and nothing witty to say. You can look forward to Anita's verbal
I keep reading these books and the further I get, the more I just struggle to continue. This series was highly recommended from some friends. I thought, what the heck and started reading. The story lines are OK, the love interest are alright, but the characters drive me batty. They make it really hard for me to connect and engage in the story. Anita is this tough as nails chick who doesn't like help, ask for help, or respect you if you offer her help. She is hard core all the way. I get what the
4.5For some reason I can't seem to get bored of this series. Even more, I can't wait to start the next book to see what happens :D
WHYYYY are these books so bad? They have potential. A lot of potential. But instead of focusing on what is absolutely necessary in a 25+ book series, namely, character development and world-building, Hamilton focuses on action scenes and a whole bunch of stupid, pointless plot that keeps the story moving but gives us nothing.I finished this book less than 48 hours ago and I can hardly remember anything that happened. There were a bunch of shapeshifter action scenes, lots of Anita just being a
Again with Richards stupid ass. Like why is he here? I know why but I won't say because that is a spoiler. But yes, more ass kicking please. More Jean Claude please. And can the next book go by quick so I can get to the parts of this series that made me end up getting all 25 books? LIKE NOW!? *wails*
2018 Reread to figure out where this series went so horribly wrong:And it begins. At the halfway point of this book Anita makes two decisions that sent her course for the future.#1. She says yes to Richard's proposal, even though they is constant friction because Richard wants a soft gentle woman to protect and make him feel human, and Anita wants someone human who accepts that she is tough and prone to violence. She also is uncomfortable with Richard in her apartment, and irritated that her
