Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Best part: Sookie thinking irrelevant thoughts while laying naked next to Bill in his cellar to hide from random men who want to kidnap her. Why was she naked? Um, how else do you hide your tracks when you're soaking wet? TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES. Duh. Worst part: In general, the rest. In particular, the part where Sookie needs to ice her "yahoo palace" after yahooing Eric. To sum up: This book was not good, but it did make me laugh a few times. It seems like Harris is dropping some obvious hints that Sookie's true love is Sam, which is fine by me. Just it end already, Charlaine. It is dying. Meh, it was ok. Not quite sure why I keep reading this series. It seems like Harris is bored with the story and the characters and is out of ideas, so she just opted to make everyone miserable. I will admit that I tend to more enjoy books with endings that are happy or at least resolved. This book had neither quality. no reviews | add a review

"With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie Stackhouse witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but her attention is divided when she realizes that her lover, Eric Northman, and his "child" Pam are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, Sookie is drawn into the plot--which is much more complicated than she knows. Caught up once again in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human--and that there is a new queen on the board..."-- No library descriptions found. |

I fell in love with the first 8 books, but lately it seems that Mrs. Harris is just filling the books with whatever she can. I have read books 9 and 10; and will continue to read any of the books that she puts out in this series, but I can't seem to get as excited about a new book as I used to.
In the 11th installment of Sookie, we see a person from her past come back, even though I had really forgotten about the Pelt's, I actually had to skim through a few books to get updated on the back story there.
I liked that Mrs. Harris brought back Amelia and Bob, but I was not in the least bit happy about them figuring out how to break the bond between Sookie and Eric. And don't even get me started on the whole Eric being arranged for with the Queen of Oklahoma!! I swear, Sookie just can't catch a break with the vamps in this series!!! Maybe she should actually give a were a shot!
The conflict with Victor was brought into this book, but I felt the demise of Victor and his "crew" was too fast and way too neat. I mean really, I understand that the scene couldn't last for that long, but it wasn't even a full chapter; or so it seemed to me.
I was left wondering about a lot of things through out the book, and I feel that a few things could have been cleared up in this book; like really, what was up with Claude and Dermot? I understand that Mrs. Harris needs to leave some things up in the air so that she can continue the series, but still, some things could have been either cleared up as I said earlier, or answered altogether. I felt that the book just really dragged on way too much. ( )
