Dead Ever After by Charlaine Harris
3.0
Well, at least it's over.
As far as endings go it didn't totally suck. It was pretty predictable, how everything was going to end up, who Sookie was going to end up with. I am just so glad it's over.
On this installment all of Sookie's enemies come back from their sabbatical. And every single last one of them is out for her blood. Sookie gets blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Eric and her are having marital problems (big whoop), Bill is still skulking in the woods, and Sam is getting used to being back from the grave. We basically get to see almost EVERY SINGLE important character that has grazed the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Though not some of the real important onesno Hunter or Niall :/
The beginning of this series was so wonderful. So full of possibility, so interesting and with action at every corner. But as the series progressed it's like Sookie got 20 years older. She isn't the same care free spirit she used to be, willing to take chances, now she reminds me of her grandmother. The way things ended was expected, mostly anti climatic.
However it was a really quick read. I read it in a matter of hours. On a whim. I may even re read the first ones in the series, try to point out exactly where it all started to go downhill.
SILVER LINING, the TV SHOW IS STILL GOING ON!! And they are certainly taking a different route. So hallelujah! Hurray for Eric action, and him not being such a jackass! Hopefully they will also change the ending. All of my Bon Temp eggs are on the same basket now so TV people please don't disappoint!
Sigh, I can't really expand on anything else without giving spoilers. All I can say is it wasn't as bad as it could have been, it was still pretty bad, I loved this series once a upon a time and I am glad we can finally let it rest in peace.
Eric is a douche, go figure. Bill disappears midway through the book. Sookie ends up with SAM. Which we ALL SAW COMING! Ugh, no, I didn't want her with Sam, not after EVERYTHING we've been through in these novels! It's like she pushed all the supernatural world away to go back to square one. Boring!

The cover has been revealed! Let thebashing analyzing begin! I can't wait for people to start getting all sorts of conclusions out of this cover...
I might just lurk around for a bit more, while trying to remember all the names of the many men in Sookie's life in order to figure out the "great mystery" of Sookie's love life. Come on, we all know it's going to be Sam, why hope for more? I just hope Eric's image doesn't get too badly beaten to a pulp in this installment.
*There, there Eric*
Only thing I can say with absolute certainty about this whole series coming to an end is THANK GOD. This series needs to be put to rest as much as Jersey Shore needs to go off the air and out of our collective memories.
