She is like magic-bait or something. And, the vampires are especially attracted to fairies. That information takes Sookie down a notch or two. So, Sookie: But, bless your heart! The book wasn't all that bad, but I just don't like New Orleans I live somewhat close , and I don't like books that pull the you-had-to-read-the-half-book-to-get-this crap. Sookie found yet another supe to shack up with, weretiger Quinn.
Pretty soon she'll have been with every supernatural being in the area. But somebody seems to be trying to keep them apart, so of course Sookie's in danger again. Add to this her cousin Hadley having given everything to Sookie posthumously, and Sookie finds herself in the middle of a vampire feud with queen Sophie-Ann.
This book felt a little flat. I didn't care as much for Quinn as I did for the other men in this series. Though So Sookie found yet another supe to shack up with, weretiger Quinn. Though Sophie-Ann is a great character. Need I say more???? This book loses a star for not as much Quinn as any reader could want I like the Hadley angle though.
A good new subplot line to follow with the queen. Still fun to come back to. Aug 14, Ashley rated it it was ok Shelves: vampires , not-my-copy , urban-fantasy-paranormal-romance.
I knew it would only be a matter of time before Sookie began to annoy me a little, and this book marked the beginning of it. To be fair, though, I'm not sure it if was her so much as her interaction with Quinn that didn't sit that well with me.
After the previous book, it was kind of a no-brainer that Quinn would become the next addition to Sookie's growing parade of suitors. I didn't really care for him or his relationship with Sookie. The whole "I shall compliment you at any given moment, and I knew it would only be a matter of time before Sookie began to annoy me a little, and this book marked the beginning of it.
The whole "I shall compliment you at any given moment, and you'll glow with happiness" routine is good and fine, but it's just not interesting to me. So, I'm not particularly looking forward to seeing more of him in the next couple of books. At this point, I've also developed a definite preference for what man I want Sookie to end up with, and I'm leaning towards Sam or Eric. Naturally, I realize this may have biased me against Quinn, but oh well, so things go.
On the plus side, I like how things came together at the end of the novel, but I spent so many pages keeping up with meandering storylines that it was kind of a killjoy.
Well into the s, we were still getting briefed by Sookie on her past with such and such character. It's probably a result of the series growing in scope and characters still sticking around, but it was a tad tiresome and resulted in the book not holding my attention as well as the previous ones did.
Bill's revelation was raw and painful, and I think Harris did a good job with Sookie's reaction. There was a good balance of agony and humor to make the revelation work well in the context of the story. Anyways, this was a decent book, but a far cry from the best. As Sookie waits for word she can claim the legacy from her now definitely dead cousin Hadley, she encounters a surfeit of happy couples, including some of her exes, and there are several weddings being planned.
Her own interest is piqued by a rather handsome were-tiger, Quinn, who confirms the attraction is mutual. But together, they seem to draw the wrong sort of attention. She is told she has special blood, learns quite a bit about weres, shifters, fairies, vampires, witches and demons, watches the paranormal equivalent of a security video playback and has her heart broken. Bill makes a confession that has Sookie unable to envisage ever not hating him. Plenty of humour, action and an exciting climax will have fans looking forward to the next instalment, All Together Dead.
Fans face.. That was hella hot. I did like the interaction that Sookie had with the Vampire Queen. And I love the Erik came to save the day. Dec 10, April Kennedy rated it liked it. Ok, so it took me quite sometime to make it through this one. I think it's because it's the most diffrent from the show.
We get a lot of new characters and creatures in this one, and some take getting used too. I am not mad at it, but I wasn't wild about it either.
But as always, I am looking forward to the next Sookie Stackhouse book. I gave this one 3 stars because I'm really convinced it's the weakest link in the series. That said, Southern Vampire Mysteries really is my favorite series of all times. Quinn is far from my favorite character in the series, he actually goes right in the basket with Tanya and Arlene.
At first I couldn't figure out why, I tought I was just blinded by Eric and my never ending adoration for him, but no, Quinn is obnoxious all by himself. Apart from that, the book just ties some loose ends from the I gave this one 3 stars because I'm really convinced it's the weakest link in the series. Apart from that, the book just ties some loose ends from the previous ones. Nothing new happens, and Eric is not around for the most part.
I enjoyed learning a little more about Sophie Anne and Andre and I really enjoyed kicking Bill in the ass thank you, Eric. Apr 04, Wendy rated it liked it. I did not enjoy this book quite as much as the others in the series.
I don't like the path that Sookie and Bill's relationship has taken, I don't think she should be so angry. I like Quinn some but even he does not seem to be the guy for Sookie and I hate the habit he has of calling her 'Babe'. The storyline was okay although it just barely touched upon some unanswered questions from previous books. It did leave us with some interesting new people for future books. I still look forward to more i I did not enjoy this book quite as much as the others in the series.
I still look forward to more in this series. View all 7 comments. Oct 05, Santi rated it really liked it Shelves: ebook. My heart began to beat faster. Dread gathered in a knot in my stomach.
Nothing could have scared me more. And the queen knew I was originally from Bon Temps. But maybe he truly died of old age. Aug 01, Lauren rated it really liked it Shelves: audiobooks , psychics , new-orleans , southern-comfort , vampires , urban-fantasy , feline-shifters.
But someone doesn't want her arriving in one piece, and the suspects range from rogue weres to treacherous vampires to Sookie's former lover, Bill Compton. Can Sookie stay alive long enough to find out what's going on?
Series note: Hadley's demise is recounted in the very short novella One Word Answer , but it is not necessary to read it to follow the events i Definitely Dead 4 Stars Sookie must travel to New Orleans at the Queen of Louisiana's behest to finalize her deceased cousin Hadley's estate.
Series note: Hadley's demise is recounted in the very short novella One Word Answer , but it is not necessary to read it to follow the events in this installment. In terms of the plot, there are, once again, several intertwining threads that raise the question of how one small yet snarky woman can get into so much trouble in such a short period of time. In addition to a group of newly turned weres who want to turn her into kibble, Sookie finds a severed corpse in her garden and a rabid vampire in a closet.
With all of these goings on, it should be difficult for Sookie to even think of having a love life, but our intrepid herione has no problem in this department either. With Calvin, Alcide, Bill and Eric more or less out of the picture, Sookie's new beau is Quinn the huge and hunky tiger shifter.
Only time will tell if he is her match made in heaven or hell. All in all, Sookie's adventures are a laugh-riot and should never be taken too seriously. Looking forward to the next one. Oh my goodness. How many times must Miss Sookie Stackhouse be beaten, bitten, kidnapped, and threatened before she just walks away? The limit does not exist I enjoyed this installment because I love Quinn and getting to see some new elements from the Vampire and Were community--and Amelia is a fun new addition, but the formulaic plot is getting a bit tedious now.
I am committed to my re-read, but goodness gracious I forgot how repetitive it is Aug 01, Kat rated it did not like it Shelves: boring , because-i-bought-the-damn-thing. Never come across a book series that makes me hate reading so much until this one. I have an OCD-ish habit of having to read every book I buy, and for some reason I bought three more of these damn things. The author feels the need to tell the reader every single piece of information about a person's clothing which if she's female generally ends with the conclusion that Sookie hates her , or life even if they're only in the book for one page or two.
Like Portia. Why does she keep showing up? Her scenes are so small and pointless, and it takes Sookie paragraphs to describe her and then she'll have only one or two sentences to say before never being seen again.
Oh, and Quinn. Gary-Stu alert. And he's a weretiger. Jason's girlfriend is suffering a miscarriage, so he comes to Sookie and tells her. Her response is to make a call, and then make him lunch. Neither of them visit the poor girl in presumably pain.
All these books lead me to the same conclusion: I hate Sookie Stackhouse. Anyone want my 9 books? Readers also enjoyed. About Charlaine Harris. Charlaine Harris. Charlaine Harris has been a published novelist for over thirty-five years. He was on TV being interviewed and not at all worried about getting arrested for admitting that he ripped Gov.
What jury would convict him for murdering the man who created Hep V? Where are you, Sarah Newlin… Sookie was watching the interview from her couch. Do we feel cheated that they glossed over giving us a real sex scene between those two? Something to look forward to in season 7, I suppose. The other Stackhouse was also in bed. Someone do the research and get back to me. And down again he went. Also, what exactly was girly about that basement? Sookie and Alcide went to church, and she looked like a Southern stereotype in her floral dress and hat.
I laughed. There had to be a lot of trust if they all consented to having blood samples taken upon entering. They were testing to see who was carrying the Hep V virus. It was so Jason to be afraid of the little needle when he gets regularly fed upon by a vampire. Skinner and Rev. This was just the warm up. Sam, the new mayor of Bon Temps!
Hep V is spreading. I guess she got that insurance money. My reaction: WHAT? Will it have to be direct from the vein, or can they pump? At the social, humans and vampires mingled checking fang size. Tara and Willa seemed happy enough — had they heard from Pam and Eric? She hurt for herself, so much so that she forgot to hurt for Tara — and forgot to feed her for days at a time. Good lord. That was beautifully played — it should be a struggle to admit that.
She wanted to make it right for the both of them now. Let me take care of you. And Tara bit her mother. He closed the door, and she stood watch outside. Is that what this will entail? Who will feed Jessica? An unfortunate side-effect of his death was that all the vampires who had consumed his fae blood lost their ability to daywalk. Sadly, when Warlow died, Eric was sitting very relaxed — and very very naked — on a mountainside in Sweden. He had gone off to grieve his sister Nora's death in solitude.
So when his daywalking ability disappeared, he had no escape from the sun After Warlow's death and Eric's maybe-demise, the show skipped ahead six months The pair had bonded after Terry Bellefleur's funeral, and it seems like the passage of time did well for them. Sometime during the time jump, Sam was elected mayor of Bon Temps.
The Hep-V that was introduced into the Tru Blood supply has turned some vampires rabid, snacking on humans like zombies. Sam urges every human in Bon Temps to partner with a non-infected vampire for protection.
