Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

4.0

Better than the last book by far. As in all the books, Sookie is trying to defend herself from the people who want to kill her. Her relationship with Eric is still about as dysfunctional, and unhealthy as they come. Victor the Regent of Louisiana, appointed by Felipe, is a real ____. Pam has a sweetie Miriam, who is dying and she wants to change her over. Victor refuses to allow it, and he also opens two competing bars, a rival of Merlottes, and Fangtasia. Most of the fae questions did get answered, but I still find some of it confusing. Sam is dating the pack enforcer Jannalynn, and she is brutal, but perfect for her job because she enjoys it. Not sure where Sookie, and Eric stand at the end of the book. His maker matched him up before he died, and according to Vamp law, he has to marry the Queen of Oklahoma, and ditch Sookie. Of course, Bill would love to pick up the pieces if this happened. Didn't see much from the were community, either the wolves in Alcides pack or the were-panthers. Miriam died before the group could plan, and execute the plot to kill Victor. We are still left hanging when it comes to the repercussions of assassinating Victor.
