I read this entire book in one day! I loved it! It was a reincarnation of the excitement and joy of the first book that I read by Charlaine Harris! All of her other books have been good but this one hit a new all time high.
There is plenty of action, adventure, and mystery in this 9th installment. Plus we get a bonus of getting to know the characters in a deeper and more complex way. All and all, an A+. I loved this book and can't wait for the next one to come out! :)

Another solid Sookie outing. Now that I am at the end of the books that are currently released, I feel a little let down. I need more Sookie. Maybe it's time to watch the True Blood series?

Oh, the suspense! Will Charlaine Harris write the next one and tell us Bill's fate?!?!
I read the kindle version--this is the second book I'm reading on a kindle. It may be a user issue (i.e. I could reset a preference), but the justification was such that it resulted in same line issue such as "gor geousness"

What I Did Like:
+The opening is off to a good start! It feels more like the early books in the series, action-packed and emotional right from the jump.
+The extra focus on the fairies wasn’t bad. I liked the details we did get and the danger they brought to the story. Plus, they bring out the best side of Sookie’s creativity with regard to arming herself!
+The danger was upped in this one which sort of brought a darker mood to the story. Honestly, I liked that! It made it different enough from the rest and that’s important in a series that’s gone on this long.
+The romance line worked. Of course, I’ve been a fan of one particular suitor for a long time so that’s probably a spoiler of sorts. Some scenes were spicier than the early books, so be warned if you aren’t a fan of that.
Who Should Read This One:
-Obviously, fans of the series will keep going.
-If you like vampires, werewolves, telepathy, and slightly spicy scenes in otherwise action packed books … give the series a try!
My Rating: 3 Stars
