This is mostly directed to the last few short stories—they didn’t really add anything to the conclusion of the series. The basic gist is that life goes on. We’re introduced to new characters in “If I had a Hammer,” and “In the blue Hereafter,” which disinterested me.

All of these short stories were fine, pretty fun, but too short to add much to the Sookie storyline really. I didn’t enjoy the longer story Small Town Wedding because of an incident that upset me.

There are a lot more short stories than the 10 in the book, so the title with "Complete" seems a bit erroneous. I only read the stories I hadn't before, but it was fun going back into that world before the world got crappy. :)

This was a really fun set of short stories that tied in wonderfully to the overall Sookie universe. So much fun to check in with other characters and how things progressed in between books.
