After being tortured by the fae, Sookie is having a lot of trouble to get over it. Physically, even with blood from 2 different vampires she is getting a little better but mentally is another story. Using the help from JB and the club he works at to physically get back together and using Eric Northman, her vampire sweety, as moral support. She’s trying not to be depressed about her roommate, Amelia, moving back to New Orleans. She isn’t enjoying the loneliness at all. When her fairy cousin comes over, it’s quite a shock. She decided while he was there that she wanted to live. Knowing at any moment, Claude would snap since his twin sister, Claudine, was killed in the Fae War trying to protect Sookie. She was pregnant too. Claude surprised her by only asking a few questions before leaving.

Eric finally opened up and told her why he couldn’t make it to her. It seems that Victor, Felipe’s right hand vampire, is jealous of the way Sookie’s relationship is with Eric. He temporarily forgot the vampire marriage of Eric and Sookie and kept him in silver chains knowing that Sookie needed his help. Eric was able to send Bill, who in turn got Niall, Sookie’s grandfather, to help as well. Bill gets silver poisoning from one of the fae holding Sookie captive. Claudine, Sookie’s fairy godmother, expecting a baby falls during the war as well as many others.

With Claudine gone, Claude decides that being around Sookie is the only fae left and he can’t handle being alone. He asks to stay with her for awhile. Only her emotions about everything that being alone wasn’t good for her either so she agrees for awhile.

Bill isn’t getting any better and he told her that the only thing that could make him better would be a sibling or his maker. Since Sookie killed Lorena, Bill’s maker, she felt that she needed to find the other sibling that she made so Bill would get better. Even though she was with Eric now and could honestly say that she loved Eric, she still didn’t want anything to happen to Bill especially because of her.

There is so much going on with this book, I could spend another 500 words telling you about it. I couldn’t put it down for a minute. It seemed that Sookie was into trouble of some sort every page. It wasn’t overwhelming but was captivating. The drama was intense and honestly I had to read it again since I read it so fast the first time, I was afraid I missed something. I loved it the second time even more. If you are a Sookie fan or even if you aren’t you’ll like this book.
