Poor Sookie and her magnetism for disaster. The Rhodes collapse was really interesting and helped to integrate terrorism into the supernatural world that is unraveling all around her.
The book was a fun read, and it was really interesting to watch Sookie's reaction to her life being controlled by her employers. She got to see what her life would be like if the fedral government was controlling her abilities, and Barry Bellboy was an interesting twist. Oh and while on the subject, Barry is a perv
The Sophie Anne trial was priceless, especially with the "oracle." I'm not surprised that Eric was "forced" to deepen the blood bond, and I'm honestly not that unhappy about it. Bill is still a not liked person, but it was nice to not have to read show more about nasty Selah.
Quinn does care about Sookie, but his sister is a spoiled brat. You can see that he'll pick the family over Sookie, even if he did stake Sophie Anne's vampire henchman. show less

**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
Again, I have to mention that this series is in desperate need of a decent editor. I mentioned this in my review of Book 5 (Dead as a Doornail):
"Jason's boss is Shirley (Catfish) Hennessey in Book 4, but in Book 5, all of a sudden he's Shirley (Catfish) Hunter. What?!?" In Book 7, we're now back to a version of Hennessey, although it's misspelled as "Hennessy".
This series as a whole, is interesting, mysterious and sexy. I feel the need to find out where this is all going, but this book certainly felt like it was missing something that contributed to the earlier books' "unputdownability."
Maybe it was Sookie and Bill's relationship, which I loved, that kept me wanting more. Even though I knew it couldn't last show more through the entire 8 book series (so far, anyway), I have held out hope for their relationship. There are hints that a reconciliation may be in the works, but it seems unlikely that will happen at this point.
The more I think about the later books in the series, the more Sookie frustrates me. She burns bridges before she's even crossed them fully, and cuts people entirely out of her life, for the silliest reasons I have ever seen. She holds grudges and makes off-the-cuff life-changing decisions that make no sense to me. Maybe it is her sense of pride that causes her to do this, or maybe she is jaded by being able to know peoples' intimate thoughts, I just don't know.
I still don't understand why she was so upset with Alcide. Please, someone explain it to me. Really. So he knew about Debbie. So? He had abjured her, and its not like he was going to turn Sookie in, or kill her. I think that Sookie was pissed at him for having the audacity to know what happened and still like her.
Or, how about this mystery... Why was Sookie angry with Quinn after finding out he was a fighter? Hmm? These things are lost on me. I don't get what the big deal is.
But anyway, I'm ranting. Nothing was resolved for me in this book like I had hoped at the end of the 6th book. I'll renew that hope for the 8th book, and also up the ante and hope that Sookie learns to relax a little and stop acting so damn high & mighty. She is not perfect herself, so I wish she would stop expecting others to be. *nod* show less

Sookie has been hired by the Queen of Louisiana, Sophie-Anne, to come with her to a vampire conference. Sookie’s job is to read the minds of the humans, mostly humans working for other vampires. Sophie-Anne will be on trial, and Sookie can also vouch in her defense (though Sookie was already hired before there was a need for a trial).
This might have been my favourite Sookie book so far. I read them so spread out, that I can’t say for sure, but I am rating it the highest of all of them. I enjoyed the little “love” triangle going on in this one, and I liked Sookie’s connection and interactions with Barry, another human with the same telepathic powers as Sookie.

Ack: a Sookie Stackhouse books that’s not only depressing, but even tragic!
Note: To avoid spoilers, skip to Evaluation and Rating, at the end of the review.
Sookie agrees to join the Louisiana vampires to attend a Summit in Rhodes in the Midwest. They want help from her telepathic abilities. The weretiger she is currently dating, Quinn, will be there also, since he produces special events for supernaturals for a living.
Before she goes, however, she attends the quickie wedding of her brother Jason, who is marrying the werepanther Crystal.
Also before the Summit, Pam, Eric’s underling, comes to visit Sookie at Merlotte’s, the bar where Sookie works as a waitress/barmaid. Pam suggests that the powerful vampire Eric is not himself, show more because of unresolved feelings for Sookie. He and Pam will both be at the Summit. Pam wants Sookie to help Eric get over his malaise.
Claudine, Sookie’s fairy godmother, warns her not to go to the Summit, because there will be trouble, but Sookie insists. And trouble there is, from members of The Fellowship of the Sun, the ultra right-wing anti-vampire movement. The ranks of this organization “were riddled with those who believed all vampires were intrinsically evil and should be eliminated, by violent means.”
The hotel where the vampires stay in Rhodes is especially designed for vampires, so they can sleep securely during the day. But the Fellowship manages to infiltrate the staff. Disaster follows. During the bright daylight, bombs are set off throughout the hotel. (Vampires ordinarily would not waken, and just be killed by the blast. If they did waken, they would be burned by the sun.) Many are killed. Sookie helps save Eric, Pam, and Bill, but Bill especially is badly burned. The Vampire Queen of Louisiana loses both her legs, and her consort Andre is killed. (Actually, Quinn – even with two broken legs - took advantage of the chaos to stake Andre for forcing Sookie into another blood exchange with Eric.)
At the end of this book (or “episode,” as I like to think of it), Sookie has escaped back to Bon Temps, and we don’t know the fate of most of the vampires in her life. We do know that if they live, they are in for a very long time of healing, if they heal at all. Sookie doesn’t know how she can live with the savagery and violence she has seen, and the loss of many people she has come to love. She resolves:
"If I just stay away from the vampires for a while… If I pray every night, and hang around with humans, and leave the Weres alone, I’ll be okay…”
Evaluation: This book is so sad! But also essential if you are following the saga of Sookie, Bill, Eric, and the other characters – both human and otherwise – in this addictive world created by Charlaine Harris. The sadness is part of why I like these books: not everything is always perfect, and there are tears, and loss, and tragedies, just like in real life. Also, Harris is definitely trying to inculcate lessons about the injustice and irrationality of prejudice and I love that too. show less

I swear that this series is getting better and better. While some of the plotline this time was fairly predictable – an unusual occurrence for this series as a whole – the additional twists and turns that occurred throughout the book were enough for me to overcome the predictability. Sookie is definitely being forced to reap the results of her actions, which are causing her to face some very difficult choices.
We are back in the world of vampires for this book, after a several-book break. Sookie attends a vampire “summit” (a.k.a. conference) as an employee of the Queen. Trouble follows Sookie as if it were drawn to her, and as you can imagine, there is no exception to that rule for this one. We are also treated to a further show more glimpse into the very complex world of vampires. Ms. Harris has done a marvelous job of fleshing out these mythical creatures to give us vampire weddings, judicial systems, royalty, commerce, and other business dealings. In addition, the relationships are extremely complex – sire to child, master to servant, having to swear fealty, and so forth. With details like this, it becomes easy to see why her books are so much fun!
Some of the conflict that has been brewing over the past few books finally came to a head. Enough of it is resolved to allow for an adequate denouement to the story, but there is still plenty of conflict to have me eagerly anticipating picking up the next book. In addition, as Sookie gets drawn further and further into the supernatural world, the books have gotten considerably darker. Gone are the days when Sookie only had to deal with unsolved murders in Bon Temps. I’m anxious to explore this darker side a bit more, as it will be interesting to see if Sookie can remain as cheerful and polite after everything she has experienced.
As I mentioned earlier, these continue to be fun, easy reads. While the intrigue and disasters have gotten to be more intense, Sookie remains strong-willed and independent. She has grown quite a bit since we first met her, as she has learned various life lessons at the hands of Bill, Eric, and the vampire queen. The future possibilities remain unclear and open, which is half the fun. I look forward to my time in Bon Temps, visiting these characters and can’t wait to start book eight! show less

Time for the Rhodes vampire conference, which Sookie must attend as part of the Queen of Louisiana’s entourage. In All Together Dead, Sookie is a valuable asset what with Louisiana being weakened by Katrina and the Queen, Sophie-Anne, under suspicion for killing her husband, the King of Arkansas. For money, Sookie has agreed to attend the conference and read the minds of any humans present in case someone is thinking something that might be important for Sophie-Anne to know. Her new boyfriend, were tiger Quinn, is also in attendance setting up events. However, unfortunately for them and their budding romance, they don’t get to spend much time together.
But at least Sookie has one friend. Barry the Telepathic bellboy is there with show more another group, and the two of them find few moments of peace to work out their gifts together. As two of the only humans there, they find themselves at the call of the stronger and more powerful vampires who send them out on missions such as assassin investigation. It’s not easy to be at the bottom of the food chain.
After the last book, this one was a big improvement. Relations will Bill are still rocky, but at least Sookie will acknowledge his name. Sookie isn’t too fond of being a lackey for the Queen and her personal bodyguard Andre, but she realizes her limitations and goes with it as best she can. Her relationship with Eric deepens in All Together Dead. The two of them find that the bond they had formed when they first exchanged blood is now multifaceted and far more complicated than before. I am very happy about that since I think that Sookie and Eric make a far better and complex couple than Sookie and Bill. I also think that Eric appreciates Sookie in a different and more meaningful way. Sookie brings something out in Eric that no one else does and I think that says a lot about the nature of their relationship.
It was just good to get back to some of the older characters. Granted, they were a long way from Bon Temps and Merlotte’s. I don’t feel like the Southern Vampire Mysteries needs any more characters since every new inclusion comes at the expense of interaction with other older, favorite characters.
All Together Dead does not fall short on action and mystery, either. There is sinister intent all around and Sookie can feel it. Between can bombs and dead assassins and shifty waiters/hotel workers, you never know who the enemy is. It is also pretty hard to be one of the only humans in a building full of blood drinkers, as well. Toward the end of the story, when the action picks up full force, it’s well written and done just right to level the suspense and intensity off without overdoing it and making it too dramatic. show less

Resumo: Sangue Felino começa com uma reunião no Fangtasia para preparar a ida à conferência vampírica em Rhodes, no rescaldo do Katrina e depois do efeito devastador que este teve nas vidas dos humanos e vampiros que viviam naquele território, nomeadamente a rainha Sophie-Anne. Após o desfecho sangrento em Nova Orleães e da perda financeira graças ao Katrina, Sophie-Anne encontra-se numa posição fragilizada e precisa do apoio total da sua comitiva, que inclui a Sookie. Já em Rodes, toda a acção se passa dentro do hotel: os membros da comitiva do Arkansas são assassinados, há ameaças de bomba, o julgamento da rainha e até um baile. Sookie está decidida a cimentar o seu relacionamento com Quinn mas tudo parece show more interferir entre ambos e ela própria compreende que a sua história com o Eric não está terminada. Após muitas voltas e reviravoltas, Sookie sobrevive e regressa a Bon Temps e a história termina com ela determinada a manter-se afastada dos vampiros, lobisomens e outros sobrenaturais afins.
Crítica: É o meu livro favorito da saga até ao momento. Percebe-se que a autora reflectiu bem sobre o que queria escrever e a acção desenvolve-se com muitas surpresas interessantes. Foi o primeiro em que se percebe realmente como funciona a política vampírica e como esta é perigosa (e fatal!). A Sookie assume e aceita o seu dom de telepata e há muitos momentos em que o utiliza (algo que sempre gostei e ansiei na saga). Barry volta a surgir, partilhando com ela muitas cenas e adorei particularmente os seus diálogos sem falar. Poucos ou nenhuns metamorfos e lobisomens, o que foi uma bênção para mim, que não gosto deles. Quinn está presente ao início e vê-se que a Sookie está empenhada em ter um relacionamento com ele, mas é uma relação frágil que é posta à prova, principalmente após a terceira troca de sangue com Eric. Aliás é neste livro que é introduzido o conceito do laço de sangue entre o Eric e a Sookie, que os irá afectar bastante nos próximos livros. Gosto muito do Eric, das suas perguntas directas e da forma como a protege sem a sufocar. Pam está maravilhosa, não só no capítulo inicial como noutras passagens, onde fala com a Sookie ou apenas surge vestida de odalisca. Há muitos detalhes e pontos interessantes neste livro, que o tornam rico e uma excelente âncora da série, fechando detalhes dos livros anteriores e introduzindo toda uma nova perspectiva para os seguintes.
Expectativa e estado de espírito: Eu já esperava que este livro fosse relativamente melhor que os anteriores mas superou bastante as expectativas. Nesta fase depressiva do ano foi a leitura necessária para escapar à realidade: O sofrimento da Sookie ajuda a relativizar os problemas do dia-a-dia. De facto, um dos pontos altos do livro foi lido enquanto esperava o resultado da operação da minha mãe e o que me segurou os nervos enquanto esperava.
Pontos Positivos: Sentido de humor. A construção e desenvolvimento da intriga. O laço de sangue.
Pontos Negativos: Algumas gralhas no texto.
Fez-me reflectir sobre: Coragem do indivíduo comum em caso de tragédia. Confiança. Medo do desconhecido. show less
