I'm going in for the 9th Sookie book... LOL!

Sadly, Sookie didn't wear any hilarious outfits in this one. And TWO(!) pregnant ladies got killed. I was glad to finally learn what I've suspected all along: Sookie's parents' death was no accident. Duhr. And Eric is currently in first place for Sookie's heart. I hold out hope for Sam, but please don't let her end up with boring Bill. Will Sookie be less bubbly now that she's lived through torture? I sure hope not. Keep rocking those scrunchies, girl. ( )

Het is ongelofelijk in hoeveel drama's tegelijk Sookie betrokken kan raken. Blijft leuk. ( )

Dead and Gone
4 Stars

In this book, the weres and shifters have decided to reveal their existence to the world at large and not everyone is excited about the disclosure. The situation is exacerbated when the crucified body of a were is discovered in Merlotte's parking lot and Sookie feels compelled to investigate as the victim is someone close to her.

As if this weren't bad enough, Sookie also finds herself caught in the middle of a war between fae factions, each with their own agenda. Sookie soon learns the hard way that the vampires and weres are nothing compared to the fae when it comes to cruelty and viciousness.

On the romance front, Sookie and Eric take their relationship to the next level, but it is unclear how long this will last given their significantly different approaches to life and love.

In sum, this is one of the more exciting and actions packed installments in the series and there are some truly intense and nail-biting moments. On a final note, although Bill will never completely atone for his actions, he does go a long way toward redeeming himself in this book and my hopes for his demise have been put on hold... ( )

This is light, slick and eminently readable urban fantasy, and Sookie is an engaging heroine.

Sookie must uncover the threats, beat back the danger and find love, perhaps in all the wrong places. Of course, that is why we come back to the series year after year: To root for Sookie. She’s the oddball who lurks in us all.
