Nice! Especially after book 10 in the series--which I found a little dull. This one had lots of action and stuff going on. Really enjoyed it! I couldn't put this one down--don't start it unless you have some free time!
Really liked the new turn with the Sookie--Eric--Bill triangle. Makes me anxious for book 12!

So things feel like they are wrapping up, moreover than the last novel. Sookie seems to be pulling away from the vampires. Rhe last couple of novels have focused more heavily on Sam and Sookie's relationship, so I hope this is the direction we are headed. I have always loved Sam.
Maybe because I was so disappointed with the last book, I found this one much better. Some things are being neatly tied up and resolved with not much else hanging in the balance. It's obvious that there will be an end to this series soon.
WTH...WTF...Seriously!!!...Speechless...seriously pissed off!
No words, other than the few above, can truly describe how disappointed I am with this book and this series. When I re-discovered my love for reading several years ago, this was one of the first series' that I read and I fell in love with. It will continue to hold a special place in my heart but what I fell in love with is just no more. NEVER, in a million years, did I think I would say I'm looking forward to Season 4 of True Blood more than the next book.
What I Liked
Jack & Lily Leeds - their appearance was one of the few excited moments I had while reading. What's worse, I was excited about them & I've never read their books. How sad is that?
Bubba - loved that he was brought back in this installment, however, I feel his re-introduction fell a little flat.
Pam - we got to see a softer side to Pam with her love interest and I enjoyed that.
Sookie - finally stands up for herself in some respects and that was much needed for her. It's time for her to stop letting people walk all over her.
What I Didn't Like...Serious WTF moments
Alcide - I have several questions on this topic. Why does CH feel the need to make Alcide such an asshole? When he was first introduced, he was a character I really enjoyed reading & felt that he had lots of potential. I just don't understand his character development. Next, why bring him into this book for that un-necessary scene? It served absolutely no purpose, why even bother?
Sandra Pelt - Ok, did you run out of people to try and kill Sookie? Why resurrect her of all the past villains? I guess since most of the bad guys in the past are dead, that was the only option.
Eric - Eric will forever be on my top ten list of favorite characters, BUT, the past couple of books have made him out to be such a p**sy :/ Thank god for the scene at Fangtasia at the end of the book or I would have sworn he was be-spelled again.
Pretty much the whole book - In every book, with the exception of the last two, CH has always had a clearly defined plot. There may have been several smaller plots working at the same time, but, you were able to see progression within the book, as well as, the series itself. This book didn’t offer that at all. Instead we received pieced together scenes that did little to explain what the overall plot even was or was supposed to be.
Overall, this was installment left me wanting nothing more than for this series to end. I’ve said it before, I would much rather have fewer books & wonderful stories, over more books & mediocre ones. If we can’t go back to the series of old, for the love of God, put an end to it.

I am super disappointed in this book. I don't know if Charlaine Harris is getting tired of writing Sookie books or if she is having an assistant do it but whatever it is it's not working. She spent to much time (several paragraphs) talking about stupid things in great detail like a shopping trip or cleaning the living room but not enough time or detail on the important parts of the book. I was excited that Sookie was still with Eric but he wouldn't be in the book for several chapters at a time which isn't normal when she used to visit her boyfriend nightly. I will keep reading the series because I hope Ms. Harris will put her heart back into writing the Sookie Stackhouse books. I hope she doesn't start going downhill on her other series as well.
Sandra is back and determined to get Sookie. Eric's new boss is out to get him...
