A Touch of Dead-Charlaine Harris

It has been 5 months since the last Sookie book came out and I still have to wait 7 months until the next one comes out. That is to big of a gap of time to go without Sookie and Eric. I knew that Ms. Harris had written some Sookie short stories and I was thrilled to find out that she was releasing them all in one book.

This book has 4 short stories. They were cute, but not in depth enough. I know they are short stories, but I guess I was expecting something different. There was one story with Claude and Claudine, One with Eric, One about Hadley, and one set during Christmas. It curbed my Sookie need, but I still can't wait for May.

Dead And Gone-Charlaine Harris

The newest installment of Sookie Stackhouse and her crazy town. I couldn't wait to get this and gobbled it up in a day and a half and that is with working and sleeping. Now I have to wait another year :(

This book takes place a few months after the last one. Amelia and Octavia are still with Sookie. Sookie is trying to of course figure out her feelings for all the men in her life and dealing with her brother's betrayal.

There was a lot of action in this book and some surprising deaths. I am still trying to process the book and because of all the action it is hard to review without spoilers so I will just say that it was a great book.

From Dead To Worse-Charlaine Harris

This is my last Sookie book till the new on comes out in May. What will I do for my obsession?

I love the world that Charlaine Harris creates when she writes these books. She uses characters that you love and can relate to and puts them in situations you could only dream of. If I could ever visit a fictional town and hang out with book characters it would be Bon Temps with this gang.

In this book Sookie has a lot going on. Amelia is still her roommate and Bob is still a cat. Amelia's father comes for a visit and gives Sookie news that Hadley had a baby. It must have been Sookie's month for long lost relatives because she also meets her Great Grandfather who just happens to be a fairy. So she really does have fairy in her blood, but also her grandfather was not actually her grandfather. Her lovely grandmother had an ongoing affair with a fairy and produced her 2 kids.

Sookie finally finds the missing Quinn when he shows up with the Nevada vampires that came to take over the territory. Many Vamps came up dead, but Eric and Bill decide to team up with them. Quinn was there under duress, but Sookie felt that he had to much baggage that she could not handle and they went their separate ways. Can't say I am sad about that, there was just something about him.

Sookie was also involved with the Supes. Alcide (who I liked at first, but is a butt now) is the new pack master after a fight killed the old one.

And in case you thought that Sookie killing Debbie Pelt was finished you were wrong. Tonya is back and going after Sookie through Crystal and Jason who are not in newly wed bliss anymore as Crystal was caught having sex with another man in Jason's home.

I liked that this book jumped around and made her go through a couple different mysteries. This book used all the characters while introducing some new ones. Charlaine Harris is the only writer I know who can have a million different characters who all fit into the story beautifully.

Now I am not so calmly awaiting May to read Dead and Gone as I read the first chapter on www.charlaineharris.com.

All Together Dead (Sookie Stackhouse #7)

I will start by saying that I love the Sookie books. Sookie and her many men. This book is one of my favorites in the series. Sookie gets to go to a convention and work for the Queen. She gets to use her powers and get respected for them. The action in this book was great. I had no idea that she was going where she did.

I am so team Eric I never thought I would like another with Sookie, I was wrong. I am starting to like Quinn. Of course I feel that he is hiding something and that soon I will not, but for now I am glad she has him. I do want to know why Eric was coming to her house when he was put under the spell.

Now on to number 8
