So not looking forward to the Queen of Louisiana’s trial or summit as they call it, but Sookie is the only real witness to her killing her husband, King of Arkansas. She was getting along so well with seeing Quinn once in a while when he was in town and the people at the bar were normal. Jason, her brother, was dating someone serious. When the time came for the summit, she was briefed along the trip by a sleazy lawyer and a half demon. On the upside, she felt really ready for this at least as ready as she could be. Eric, Pam, and unfortunately Bill were going along with her. She was staying at the Pyramid with all the vampires and that’s where the summit would be held. Things always seem to happen and happen in a bad way. She did get to see Barry the Bellboy. He is another telepath that helped to save Sookie by getting a message to her vampires. The party gets rolling and Sookie has to earn her paycheck by listening in on the humans from other areas. She has come up with some interesting facts that the Queen and her counterpart, Andre, can’t get enough of. When they decide that Sookie needs to be loyal, he is demanding her exchange of blood. Eric happens to come along and as the lesser of evils, she takes his blood and he takes hers. That is the magical 3rd time. She is blood tied to him now and knows more than she’s telling. At the trial, Sookie earns more than she’s being paid and things seem to snowball from there. It seems that trouble follows her everywhere.
When Sookie is doing a good deed by picking up a soda that was just laying there like trash, she picked it up. Of course, it was a bomb. And that was just the beginning.

I really enjoyed all the action from beginning to end. The devious behavior from the vampires was out of this world. Also the buildup with Quinn was heartwrenching. I was full of emotions. I loved it. I had the entire book read in way to fast of a time. I should have relished it but I couldn’t put it down for a minute. Have you ever tried to cook supper and read at the same time? That’s how great this book it.
