Summary: My least favorite in my favorite series
Comment: I was disappointed in this installment of the Southern Vampire series, a very unusal occurance for me as I have really loved them all. I didn't seem to have the flair, humor and excitement that the others did.
Lots of vampire politics in this book, which is very intersting, but not as many intesting plot twists as in the previous books. Also, I really missed Bill and Eric, two strong characters that have helped make this series what it is. They really took a back seat in this one and I found I missed them. They made a somewhat brief appearances, though each appearance does bring some degree of drama. Their appearances brought the most interest to the book as we have really come to know them well.
There's a lot going on in this story line. Sookie has a new love interest, a weretiger named Quinn. Sookie learns of her just passed cousin and makes some royal connections along the way. There's a major twist on Bill, and also we find out more on Sookie's background. I still liked the story, but I don't see myself reading this one multiple times like I have the others in this series.
If you love this series, it's definetly worth your time, but it's not as enjoyable as the other 7 (so far). I got this book from the library and have most of them in audio and print, but the only reason why I may consider buying it is to complete my collection. I doubt I will go back and read it again.

Summary: Getting...
Comment: better?...For the life of me I can't figure out why these books are so popular. I started watching the show "True Blood" on HBO and thought holy cow I have to read the books because I can't possibly wait to see what happens. After borrowing the entire series from a friend I started reading and was dumbfounded! The writing and story flow is/was awkward. I have to admit after book four they have gotten better, but I still can't bring myself to rate this series above a three star. I will finish the series only because I am crazy about Eric. I am a avid reader (not a book a week like some "avid" readers claim, but a true a book a day or every other day reader). There was a part in this book that just absolutely blew my mind, which doesn't happen often because I've seen it all. Sookie finally gets face to face with Debbie Pelts parents and explained to them why and how she killed their daughter, and all they say is "That sounds like her". What the ****? I have never seen a story line that has been the highlight of two novels dropped and was over with so fast. Am I the only person on the planet who just doesn't get it?

Summary: Great vampire series
Comment: Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6)
Charlaine Harris really knows how to write a book, if you like your vampire series with a bit of humor you will like these books, if you like your mysteries with a bit of what we call "Woo Woo" (in other words weird stuff)
then you'll like Ms.Harris's Southern Vampire series and if you find you like it find the rest Sookie Stackhouse is a kick and coming in September 2008 on HBO, the series based on this books called "True Blood".

Summary: Another fun Sookie tale
Comment: This series still hasn't grown stale for me. Actually, this book really moves things along and reveals some important info. This time Sookie Stackhouse has a new boyfriend, finds out a heartbreaking secret about her past love, discovers some surprising facts about her bloodline and heads to New Orleans to go through her dead cousin's things. She finds a new witch friend and winds up embroiled in a big political vampire mess all the while trying her best to push her heartache aside. The characterization, as always, is well done and kept me anxiously turning the pages.
