Product Description |
|
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse must now not only deal with a possible new man in her life-the oh-so-handsome shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with a long-planned vampire summit. With her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans, the local vampire queen is vulnerable to those hungry for a takeover. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe. |

Sookie reigns supreme! |
|
A suitable continuation of the Sookie series. I couldn't put it down any more easily than any of its predecessors! Definitely worth owning -- even on a book-buying diet! |

All Together Dead |

This is the latest in Charlaine Harris' vampire series starring human mind-reader and heroine Sookie. Harris does a fantastic job extending this series without getting dragged down in the history/past books. It's fresh, it's fun, it's interesting and I couldn't put it down!!! If you haven't read any of this series you can jump in here, but I recommend going back and reading each one! (I'd hate for you to miss out on the ride so far!) It does contain some sexuality and so I recommend readers in their 20's and up. |

This is the 7th book in the series and was just as exciting as the first 6! I love Sookie's sense of humor and her strength that she doesn't even know she has! Such a quirky and fun series! |

A Good Book in the Middle of a Dry Run |
I think that the reason I might have liked this book so much was because recently authors are in between books or just not interesting. I mean it was a good book, no lie, but I was willing to wait for it to come out as paperback before I read it.
In this book the characters seemed particualrly deeper, such as Sookie and Eric, and I liked the fact that it wasn't just a new adventure but something that has been building up since at least the previous book. I also liked the focus on the vampires, because there wasn't so much hate from the other townspeople. And the circumspect that made Sookie realize that maybe hanging with vamps wasn't as cool as she first thought made her seem more relatable, because who wouldn't have the same thoughts? There was not too graphic or too much sex, but enough romance to keep the reader interested, even if it was with Quinn. It was a quick read, but it left me wishing the next book would come out in paperback now!
There were several questionable parts of this book, I must admit. Quinn seems kind of shallow and undeveloped even though we saw more of his past. I know he will never be a favorite. In fact, he seems like a character inserted just so Sookie will have reason to say no to Eric. It kind of irked me that Harris seemed to put characters in just to remind us that they were there. They did not have any impact on plot at all and seemed like "filler" scenes. Bill's cameos were definitely unecessary. And Sookie's friend from the bar foretold anti-vamp activity but it also seemed like a scene that shouldn't have made it past the cutting room floor, so to speak.
The thing that most irked me was the answer to the deaths. I couldn't see how Sookie didn't know Sophie-Anne was behind the Arkansas deaths. And how her ex-Were, new-vamp friend was acting was a dead giveaway as were his comments. I mean, maybe there's a reason why the people at the summit thought she was slow.
all in all, the story was great despite it's minor short-commings and I might explode waiting for teh next book to be out in paperback... that might be an slight exaggeration, though. |

All Together a Great Read |
|
I found this installment of the Sookie series a little harder edged than previous novels. Sookie's life, while still hilarious at times, has become more complicated. She faces more moral "gray" areas and dilemmas than in previous books. Quinn is still delicious and I hope he and Sookie continue their relationship in future books. The large number of characters made the book intriguing, and I liked the details of vampire politics and justice. |
