cosymilko's review against another edition

I loved this book. I want to give it 4.5 stars. It didn't rock my world as there was decidedly much less epic action going on in this book. Sure, we've got new relatives, hostile vampire take overs and a Were war but it didn't compare to All Together Dead.
I loved that this was back in Bon Temps and Sookie was pretty much just going about her life. Quinn returns and Sookie asserts herself. I found myself nodding along with her. I would have said the same.
I loved Eric a little more. I don't know how much more I can love this vamp but I discover each book I can a little more.
Octavia Fant and Amelia are wearing a bit thin for me. I'm not exactly sure why they're required and honestly, they're annoying.

What I Did Like:
+Eric. The bright spot in this book is definitely Eric who continues to be completely himself in a series full of characters who seem to change loyalties.
+That ending. Just when you thought the series might be going on past its own life, that ending gives it a second chance.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of the series will read this, as I did, because it comes next. Then we’ll read the next one because of this ending. Then, ultimately, we’ll forget this one ever happened.
My Rating: 2 Stars
Look, I’ll keep reading the series but a throwaway book this late in the series is problematic.

Poor Sookie always gets stuck in the middle of things. As always, a good read but not as interesting as the last few books. I felt as though not much happened but actually there was A LOT happening... go figure?! Anyway I look forward to reading Sookie's next adventure...

Once again I don’t have much to say.
I’m kind of glad Sookie broke up with Quinn even though I did like him - I totally saw it coming.
Crystal is bi**h but Jason doesn’t deserve anyone better. Also Jason continues his reign as biggest a**hole in the universe.
At this point I’m dying for some Eric and Sookie action but i would even compromise for some Sookie and Bill action. On that note I’m so glad Selah is gone.
Once again it was a good light read, nothing spectacular but can’t really complain.

Always drama!! Sometimes I feel like dramatic points just happen in this book out of nowhere. Ugh, I like it but seriously, like overthrowing and killing the queen felt really dramatic and all that. I might take a break and read something else before I finish up the series.

I like this more pragmatic, introspective Sookie. There's more Eric, Pam, and Sam here and I love it.
