Sookie just wanted her life to get back to normal. She was starting to feel better about the betrayal from Bill. She’s getting used to her new roommate, Amelia and her mistake, Bob. Amelia is a witch and she just happened to experiment with her boyfriend and he just happened to be turned into a cat. While Amelia was dealing with her own problems, Sookie had to deal with hers. Sookie is different. Not only is she a telepath but she has learned that she has fairy blood in her. She actually got to meet her great grandfather, who happens to be a real full blooded fairy. Fairies can’t be around vampires since they are so intoxicated by them. Supposedly they are yummy.

After all the disasters are finally over and Sookie has the time to relax. Her roomie can’t go back after Hurricane Katrina and all the vampires are up in arms after the disaster of the bombing of the Pyramid by the Fellowship of the Sun. The vampires seemed to be devastated in numbers and only slowly regenerating. Eric seems to have feelings for Sookie that he’s not sure what to do about them. Quinn is missing. Quinn is Sookie’s boyfriend/weretiger. She hasn’t heard from him since the bombing. He hasn’t called and his sister’s car disappeared one night without Sookie knowing. She had no idea what has happened to him. Her great grandfather has asked her if he could help and she almost asked him to find Quinn but then decided that if he wanted to talk to her then he would find the time to call.

It seems that someone is killing all the Area Sheriffs in Louisiana and the Queen herself is dead. The King from Vegas has decided to take over the territory after capturing Quinn and getting all the personal information out of him. The only important vampire left to consult was Eric. Eric was holed up at Sookie’s house along with Bill and Amelia. Quinn’s sister Frannie came to warn them that Quinn has been captured and it wasn’t his fault. Sookie doesn’t know where his loyalties lie anymore. Victor is the King’s second and wanted fealty shown for the King or the whole group of vampires would burn inside Fantasia, which is Eric’s bar. Eric had to agree and lose some of his pride but staying alive was worth it to Sookie. When Sookie went into her room after the near death experience, Eric was sitting on her bed and just remembered everything about their time together. That conversation would have to wait another day.

Oh the drama and action doesn’t stop for even one page in this book. I could go on and on with the highlights, but I want to leave something for you to read. I might have stopped abruptly but I knew being on the subject of Eric, I would say too much. He is my favorite vampire and I just love his character. He seems more humble when he realizes that he has feelings for Sookie. I really like that. The only sad part about all these books is I don’t have the next one yet. I can’t wait to read it. I have read this whole series in less than a week and if it wasn’t for putting these reviews on here, I would have read them faster. I can’t seem to get enough of the whole lot. The teaser at the end of this one gives a chapter to the next novel, Dead and Gone, and I am salivating for it.

You have got to read this series. I definitely recommend it.

I was hooked from first bite. (Corny but hey, I’ve been in Sookie’s shoes for a week) ENJOY!!!
