The Lunatic Cafe

I enjoyed reading this addition to the series. The plot was good, and action-packed, and the author did a great job building the tension between Anita and her two love interests. The world-building was as good as usual, too. The only flaw that was serious enough (in my opinion) to affect my review is that I didn't buy into the love between Anita and Richard as much as I wish I could have. It seemed that they didn't have enough experiences together and affection for each other for the relationship to progress as deeply and as quickly as it did. Even with less page-time, I bought into Anita's love for Jean-Claude much more easily. I don't know why, but I did, and the “flatness” of Anita and Richard's relationship impacted my enjoyment of the story somewhat. Other than that, this was well worth the read and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

The fourth book in the Anita Blake series is not as fun as her first three. There were a lot of characters and I felt that too much was happening off-stage and there were too many new characters. Still going to continue the series...I'll keep you updated.

Sarà che mi sono piaciuti sempre di più i vampiri dei licantropi...

Rispetto agli altri libri che ho letto finora dell'autrice, devo dire che questo mi è piaciuto un po' meno. C'era sicuramente meno azione, troppa libidine e...troppi licantropi!!

Fortunatamente ci sono sempre delle pagine dedicate a Jean-Claude, così almeno ho potuto respirare anche in mezzo ad un libro del genere...ok, non sono tanto fan dei lupacchiotti mannari che cercano di mangiarti o...peggio!

Penso che comunque continuerò la serie, perché la storia continua e ammetto di essere comunque incuriosita dal seguito.

Tre stelle perché è stata una vicenda un po' troppo statica, con tutta l'azione condensata negli ultimi due o tre capitoli!
