I believe the honeymoon is over between Sookie and Bill. Not that they’re married which is illegal and he hasn’t even asked anyway. Sookie has been craving his touch all day and evening and when she finally gets off work and heads over to his place, he is staring at his computer like he always seems to be doing lately. She isn’t getting the attention she wants or needs. Also he says suddenly that he’s leaving for a job to Seattle. She isn’t understanding him at all and she is absolutely crushed. Leaving him alone, she goes home and does her normal routine before Bill came along.  When she was leaving for work the following night, Bubba was at the door. She asked if Bill sent him and he said that Eric did. Eric is Area 5′s Sheriff. He also wants Sookie to himself. He told Bubba that Sookie is to be guarded at all times until he, himself came to take over. Sookie needed the money too badly to call in sick, so she made a deal with Bubba and Sam (her boss at Merlotte’s) for him to stay in Sam’s office and out of sight. Bubba used to be a music icon until his death but at the morgue one of the attendants were undead and changed him over. Ever since, his mind is simple either due to the drugs he had in his system or being so close to death before the change. Either way, he is a simple man and doesn’t like to be reminded of who he was. He is always to be called only Bubba. When trouble starts as soon as Sookie gets to work, she knows that tonight wasn’t a good night. When Pam comes into the bar and tells Sookie that Bill has been kidnapped, she is really upset. Eric and Chow come over with Pam to Sookie’s house and tell her their ideas on Bill and that he was going to leave her for another vampire. Sookie felt all kinds of emotions at once. She was hoping that Eric was just trying one of his tricks to get into her pants but she knew better with the way Bill was acting before he left. Eric told her what he planned was best to get to Bill and make sure he’s still alive. A werewolf who owes Eric and his area, is sent to take Sookie to Jackson to look into the minds of the humans at the clubs around the area to try and find information on Bill. Their cover story is that they are dating, which opens up a new can of worms there. When the show up at a club called Club Dead, Sookie learns many things, some she wanted to know and others that she didn’t.

Will she find Bill in time? What is she going to say about his betrayal? Is the werewolf, Alcide, the one for her? Her libido and emotions are running amok and she has many decisions to make. Hang about again in the world of Sookie Stackhouse and adventure the undead and other supernaturals in Harris’ brilliant imagination.

Absolutely awesome!
