One of the better books of the series I have read, as there were some bits in it that I thought I figured out but was completely wrong about! Looking forward to reading the next one now!
I finally was able to get it back from the library and finish this one! I think this is the only book in the series so far that I didn't power through in a couple of sittings (or just one), but I still loved it a lot — it just lost me a tiny bit towards the end with too much action and not enough characters being witty and dumb.
So far i find this to be the best of the three books i read.i liked Eric,the story was entertaining,the mystery of Where Is Jason was interesting and there was no Bill.i came to the conclusion that Bill is the problem and that he drags the story and that's the tea
Sookie Stackhouse is certainly a magnet for the weird and wild. While driving home from work late one night she stumbles upon a barefoot and bare-chested man running along the road leading to her house. It turns out to be Eric Northman - vampire Sheriff of Area 5 in Louisiana - and he has lost his memory. Soon after Sookie takes him in to keep him safe, her brother Jason disappears. Once again, Sookie and the supernatural community in Bon Temps, Louisiana must work together, to restore Eric's memory and locate her missing brother.
Finally Sookie is back in Louisiana - which is exactly where I like her! And the entertaining cast of characters in her world is growing by leaps and bounds. In Dead to the World Charlaine Harris introduces us to a new colony of shapeshifters: the were-panthers from Hotshot, LA. An inbred and eccentric group, the panthers are looking to add some new blood to their gene pool.
There was plenty of man-candy to go around in Dead to the World. I was happy to spend more time with Eric - he was basically the leading man of the piece - and Alcide was back with the Shreveport werewolves to help Sookie with her problems. I just love the way Charlaine Harris develops her characters! She masterfully creates original and enigmatic but believable characters.
The Southern Vampire Series is delightfully easy and fun to read. Being absorbed into Sookie's world is not only exceptionally diverting, but also impossible to resist. I'm moving on to the next book just as soon as I finish this review!

I kindof hate to say this, but I really enjoyed this book! I tend to enjoy books in series where a character isn't themselves, and I really like Erik, so this book was a lot of fun for me. Looking forward to watching the fourth season of True Blood now!
I absolutely loved this book! I just love memory challenged Eric. I learned how this series ends and I just wish it ended here with Eric. Just like I wish the show had ended at this point.
Best in the series so far
Books 1-3 were just ok to me. Sookie’s naivety gets old quick. I think one line at the end of book 2 was that she needed assistance from a stranger to use a pay phone, having never seen one in her 26 years? But I keep reading because I liked the True Blood series, and I wanted to see the differences between the two, especially the differences involving Eric because his confidence and swagger in the series made him my favorite character. His one liners were the best. This book has been my favorite so far. It’s quite a bit steamier, which is a plus, and the last paragraph and sentence of the book were so totally Eric that it makes me really want to read book 5, just to see where they go from here.

Oh Sookie... I really feel for this girl. I really do. I am glad to see this series moving into a slightly more complicated view of relationships, and with a much heavier dose of the "supes." Ready for the next book, please!
Eric Northman. The man is a legend.
The tall, viking vampire made this series one of my all-time favourites. Sookie is admirable, a tad too pragmatic but overall a refreshing change from the love-sick teens who believe their vampires can do no wrong. Sookie is like the anti-Bella.
