false <![CDATA[The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #4) ]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168063678m/30273.jpg 30273 13 The zombie-raising business gets slow in December, so Anita Blake is starting to see some oddball cases. She's got a neatly typed list of eight missing lycanthropes given to her by Marcus, the leader of the local werewolf pack, who wants her to find them. The trouble is, Anita's occasionally furry boyfriend Richard is locked in a power struggle with Marcus. Jean-Claude, master vampire of the city and Anita's other love interest, is getting jealous as well. To top it off, Anita has to solve some horrific murders and keep her bounty-hunting friend Edward from killing Richard and Jean-Claude. Hamilton alternates between funny and fearsome in this larky series about a monster hunter with a few dark secrets. 1183561 book 1996 The Lunatic Cafe (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, #4) total:6634|5:137|4:164|3:81|2:12|1:4| 6634 26676 8385 162 2 2 true true Wed May 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 28 15:27:04 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 12:46:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 2 false false Tue Jan 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 19:44:28 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 11:16:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 2 false false Sun Jul 12 20:14:30 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 21:10:27 -0700 2009 A Date-off?!?!

Hamilton tries to introduce a love triangle. Tries. It ends up being a dating competition, and reminds me of a poorly written sitcom.
