Product Description
New in the “addicting” New York Times bestselling series featuring Sookie Stackhouse.

After the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the manmade explosion at the vampire summit, everyone—human and otherwise—is stressed, including Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who is trying to cope with the fact that her boyfriend Quinn has gone missing.

It’s clear that things are changing—whether the weres and vamps of her corner of Louisiana like it or not. And Sookie—Friend to the Pack and blood-bonded to Eric Northman, leader of the local vampire community—is caught up in the changes.

In the ensuing battles, Sookie faces danger, death, and once more, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the fur has finished flying and the cold blood finished flowing, her world will be forever altered.

Terrific listening for long car journeys
I'd not been impressed with the first book in this series; thought it was too derivative of the very early Anita Blake setup back when those books were good (which was the first two volumes). But I needed a book on CD for a longish road trip I was taking alone, and this seemed a passable possibility.

The book itself is more a wrap-up of a dozen or so plotlines that I suppose had been hanging in the series. One by one things come to a climax until all are dealt with (except for those cult guys who came to the bar) and just about everyone now owes Sookie favors/protection big time. If you were reading the book I'd imagine that it might not be too riveting because of the lack of a coherent plot, but for a car ride, it kept me interested the entire way like a strung-out soap opera. Good enough.

But I must stand up and cheer for the narrator, Johanna Parker! Her male voices might have been sometimes not so great -- and I have to wonder about the Transylvanian accent given the king with the Latino name -- but the rest was brilliantly done. The Louisiana accents were a joy to listen to, the delivery of some of the dialogue and narration laugh-out-loud funny. I truly felt like someone from the depths of Louisiana was telling the story and surrounded by suitable countryfolk. Brava!

Loved it
After getting hooked on the True Blood series, I just had to purchase the first book to get more background. After that, I bought all the rest and just finished reading all of them within a week's time. I just could not put them down! All of the books are highly entertaining and well written, but I will say that I was slightly disappointed with the ending of this particular book. A new character was introduced, and it just stopped abruptly. Other than that, I enjoyed reading just how much each of Sookie's suitors care about her individually and vice versa. I found myself longing for more Bill time, and it pains me to see her 'toy' with Sam like she seems to do in almost all the novels. If you are a fan of the Sookie Stackhouse series, this is a definate read. I look forward to the new book coming out in May 2009, and I hope this series doesn't end any time soon.

Charlaine Harris does it again!
Love these books, devoured all of them . . . witty and interesting! The stories never get boring and the characters are always interesting; she blends the main characters with new and exciting ones each time.

I'll be sad to get through the final book; I'll really miss my Sookie Stackhouse fix!

All good things must have an end
I'm concerned and enthralled. I'm sadden that her love life keeps falling apart. I want her to be with Bill. How many times in life are we left without closure. I love the books so much that I was happy that i got sick and had to stay home from work. I read all the books in 4 days. It just cannot keep going on with her meeting the next guy. Bill loves her in a way that Eric (who i adore) cannot. Bill should be the one. I feel terrible even writing it, but he won me over when he was standing outside her door declaring "I Love You" which had not been done until then.

Where is that one great love of our life that movies and novels keep giving us? Why do we yearn for it so heavily? Bill should be with Sookie. But that's just my vote. PS this is account is listed under my husband :)
