juliemawesome 's review for:

Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris
3.0

Bill and Sookie are still broken up. But, not, apparently, because he nearly drained her without her consent and raped her on top of that. No, just because he ran off with his ex and ditched her.

So Bill's off to Peru in this book, and Sookie gets to spend most of her time with an amnesiac Eric. Who isn't as cool as the real Eric, but is miles better than Bill.

Sookie's brother goes missing. So pretty much the plot of the book is to get Eric's memory back (witches took it) and to find Jason (who knows who took him).

The witch thing was driving me crazy. I couldn't figure out what Harris was getting at. Not all Wiccans are witches? Or not all witches are Wiccans? And then she throws around the word 'pagan' as well, just to further confuse me. On top of that, there are apparently bad witches and (if not good witches, neutral witches).

Oh, oh, and for good measure, she throws in a fairy. Randomly.

And there's a lot of sex and a lot of gore in this one. Which is either good or bad, depending on your opinion of one or the other.

Wait a minute, why did I just give this a 3 instead of a 2? Oh yea, probably for the nearly completely lack of Bill. Hate him.
