Guilty Pleasures / Laura K. Hamilton / 285 pages / Horror

Guilty Pleasures is the name of the bar featuring stripper vampires.  Anita Blake is designated driver for her best friend's (Catherine) bachelorette party.  Monica has chosen Guilty Pleasures as its venue.  Anita is an animator.  She brings dead people back to life - say to settle a contested will.  She works closely with the police department as their vampire expert.  Vampirism has recently been legalized in the U.S., and the country is inundated with refugees from other countries.  Guilty Pleasures is a "hard-boiled detective mystery.  It is also a dark fantasy, or horror novel, because it has vampires, zombies, ghouls, werewolves, and a few other shapeshifters."  Ms. Hamilton's heroine is a Dr. Seuss quoting vampire slayer tougher than most men.  The novel is set in St. Louis/St. Charles.
