bybookandbone 's review for:
Dead to the World
by Charlaine Harris
I originally decided to read this because I was really disappointed with another book and wanted a short palette cleanser. I really disliked Club Dead, so I didn't expect to like this one but it caught me by surprise. It's more fun and more in line with what I'd thought the series would be; sexy vampires being sexy in the early 2000's.
It's not perfect, there's still some... problematic relationship elements but it goes from completely gross in Club Dead to forgivable in Dead to the World. Eric is much better as a romantic interest than Bill (who Sookie still misses despite him sexually assaulting her and being a shit boyfriend in general).
Eric's amnesia was actually interesting as it somewhat explores how different a person would be and Sookie actually liked him (he also genuinely cares).
I'm never going to love this series but I get it now.
