'You don't volunteer for slugfests with vampires. It shortens your life expectancy.'

And you don't fall in love with a werewolf. It interferes with your work. Especially when you're a preternatural expert, like me. My name is Anita Blake. My business brings me up close and personal with all shapes and sizes of monsters. And not all of them want to kill me.

Take, for instance, the local pack of lycanthrops - they're werewolves to you. A number of them are missing, and they've come to me for help. Maybe because I'm dating the leader of the pack. I've survived a lot - from jealous vampires to killer zombies - but this love thing may kill me yet.

Review

Falling in love gives you not only the problem of dealing with your lover, but of coping with their relatives. Vampire executioner Anita Blake's discovery that her new boyfriend, Richard, is a werewolf means that she has to cope with his pack and their elaborate politics of submission and domination. In The Lunatic Cafe Laurell Hamilton deals with werewolves with the same assurance that she brought to her charming, sinister vampires. Anita still has emotional baggage from her relationship with Jean-Claude, vampire Master of the city, and he is not yet done with her, even if she no longer has the marks that would eventually have made her his human servant. Someone is making snuff movies--one of the more appalling features of the alternate world Anita inhabits is that someone will always find a horrid way to make the differences between that world and ours the subject of profit--and Anita is determined to put a stop to it. And werewolves and other shape-changers are disappearing--and Anita and her PI friend Veronica are keen to find out why. This is an excellent thriller as solidly imagined when it deals with ordinary policemen as when it deals with a fairy-tale prince enchanted into a swan. (Roz Kaveney, AMAZON.CO.UK)

I was enthralled by a departure from the usual type of vampire tale... (Andre Norton) --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

I love this book collection. A++++ the author is fantastic. A real Page Turner but if you don't like Real raunchy vampire reads this isn't the collection for you.

Popsy

mostly a bad romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2016

Verified Purchase

I was disappointed with this book having quite enjoyed the others. A thin plot (albeit with a good denoument) was padded out with a very bad version of a Mills and Boon romance as Anita wrestled with the competing worries of not wanting premarital sex (initially described as casual sex which is not the same thing) and then worrying about whether she actually wants to marry Richard though she clearly, in a good mood wants sex with him. And of course The Head Vampire gets jealous and interferes as well. This could have worked well but I found Anita's rapid changes of mood just too much of a stretch of the imagination. If this is what she is really like I fail to see why Richard and Jean Claude are so infatuated and advise them both to run for the hills.

Addictive reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2012

Laurell k. Hamilton writes in a style quite unusal to most vampire writers around at the moment I find, she's very direct and cynical about the world and this book is no different to the others in the series. I like the way Anita is direct in most aspects of her life and love the way she finds the girlier elements of life as a woman totally alien! I think a lot of women on a level can relate! Ok not in terms of having a Master vampire trying desperately to seduce her but in the sense of sometimes wanting to slob around in sweats and an old tee and cuddle a penguin! Rather than glam up and impress a man! Her animator role and the police side of her life I feel was a little lacking in this one and its something I've enjoyed in the other books in the series and I hope Hamilton isn't siding with the masses and will make the rest too relationshipy and more like the more popular books of this genre. Have just downloaded bloody bones so we will see how she carries it on, we'll written fiction though and the way vampires lycanthropes and other supernatural beings are accepted as part of society makes this series a great form of escapism! Definitely worth reading.

Nice and nutty

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 June 2010

Well, this is book number four in the series and I'm a little surprised to find I'm actually quite enjoying it. I've got past my overwhelming irritation of Anita's hard nosed wisecracking and the author's obsession with armament and find the books are quite compelling.

This one dealt more with the lycanthropes and pack dynamics, which was quite interesting, and develops the love triangle between Anita, Richard and Jean-Claude, although not a huge amount else really happens except in sort of little pockets of action every now and then throughout the book. The skinning of the naga and the disappearance of the lycanthropes was shoe horned in a tad if I'm honest; seemingly to make room for the love triangle, but I went with the flow and didn't find it a problem really.

My only (small) criticism would be that the books are all very "wordy", if that isn't a contradiction in terms - there's an awful lot of either description or dialogue before anything actually happens. Still, I can accept that that's the style and still find these books a good read. I have ordered numbers five and six which says it all really.

I loved everything about this series of books and just couldn't put them down, fantastically written with stunning and captivating characters, Multi layers of sub plots that are easily followed and wonderful action with romance. A must read for so many reasons. I am sure you will love these books as much as I did

Will she won't she

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2017

Verified Purchase

Not sure how much more, expensive ebooks and I'm not really enjoying.

Someone is taking shifters. Anita goes on the offensive with Edward whilst Richard stands in his judgemental glory wringing his hands on the sidelines. Oh and Jean-Claude would like a chance to woo her equally!
