Publisher Description

First time in trade paperback: the fourth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Vampire hunter and zombie animator Anita Blake is an expert at sniffing out the bad from the good. But in The Lunatic Cafe-now in trade paperback for the first time-she's about to learn that nothing is ever as it seems, especially in matters of the not-so-human heart. Dating a werewolf with self-esteem issues is stressing Anita out. Especially when something-or someone-starts taking out the city's shapeshifters.

"The Laughing Corpse and The Lunatic Cafe are the highlights in this collection. All four books are a fast read and I found myself wanting the books to be longer. For those that compare Anita Blake to Buffy, you should be ashamed. Anita could drop Buffy in less than ten seconds."

— Nicholas (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Great book with well developed character's in the earlier books in the series. About the 5th book or so in the "Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter" series, it turns into smut, but by then I was so engrossed in the lives of the character's I just had to keep reading the series. "

    " No matter how hard I tried, I just could not get into this book. The main character, Anita Blake, simply pissed me off more and more and the characters seemed less and less built up and more simplistic and blah. All in all, a disappointment to the Anita Blake series. "
