’m voraciously going through the Southern Vampire Mysteries series, if you can’t tell by now. This weekend, I finished Club Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 3). The change of scenery and the introduction of werewolves was refreshing in this book, but Bill’s fall from grace was not. To say I was disappointed in his actions is an understatement.

This third book seems more like a soap opera than a mystery novel. Even though the mystery is still there, it’s clear that the focus of the book are character interactions and reactions to what happens. I liked the book, but I’d rank this as the weakest one so far from the series. ( )

More predictably entertaining adventures with Sookie and her supernatural friends. I liked this one considerably more than Living Dead in Dallas, and may honestly have liked it more than Dead Until Dark. Bill is missing throughout much of this book, which was sort of a nice break and allowed Harris (and Sookie) to find out much more about some other characters, familiar and new.

Harris leaves you hanging a bit at the end, and I can't wait until the other local library patrons hurry up and finish the fourth so I can see what Sookie does next! ( )

This is the funniest one yet!!! I couldn't get enough of Sookie's relationship with Bill, Eric and now Alcide and how often she yells at each one of them. In this novel we learn more about the Were's and shapeshifters. Sookie gets to travel to Mississippi to find out why Bill is there. And we meet one of the funniest and sexiest vamps yet. The King of Mississippi Russell and all his hot, sexy, steamy, boys he hangs out with. I can't wait for the third season of True Blood to see how they do this one and all the hot gorgeous flesh they will cast and put in the back ground. YUM! ( )

This series has gotten way fun
