In the tenth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series—the inspiration for the HBO® original series True Blood—Sookie Stackhouse learns that not even her psychic abilities can help her solve all the problems in Bon Temps, Louisiana...
After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Fae War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she’s mad. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he’s under scrutiny by the new vampire king because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the shifters’ coming-out are beginning to be felt, Sookie’s connection to one particular Were draws her into the dangerous debate. Also, unknown to her, though the doors to Faery have been closed, there are still some fae on the human side—and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry.
Reviews
Not my favorite of the series
3By Irishgirl99This book seemed to stray too far from the usual cast of characters. Too many peripheral characters and not enough focus on the old characters we know and love.Different, better
5By WVfanI like this darker, serious version of Sookie. It's about time, considering her circumstances. I hope she and Claude remain close, and Jason gets some more FaceTime.Beginning of the end
2By Review 1002Sad to say this one is the beginning-of-the-end of a great series. Between this one and Dead Reckoning it's time for Bill, Erik or Sookie to jump a shark and let the series receive its final death. Thank you CH but all good things must come to an end. Please let the series die a final death of glory and stop milking it.Dead in Family.
4By Day Kangas/AlaskaMomma80her books just keep getting better and better. I love all of them!!!!The worse book in the series
2By Yoram52Being a fan of Sookie's books, I found this book the worse. It takes the plot a very long way to develop, so the book tends to get boring and frustrating. It looks like Mrs. Harris tries very hard to cash on a goose that stopped laying the golden eggs. This is a pity.:)
5By Chrisbx3Awesome as always!Strong book with mushy finish
4By LeahabrewI found the book enthralling in many respects. However, I reached the final page and thought 'huh?'... I am used to strong finishes and was disappointed in the dead space left with the conclusion. No thrill or warmth to lead you to the next installment. With only two more books before this series is brought to an end, I hope we are treated to exemplary story lines to finish out Sookie's character.Ehhhh
3By La PrincesseWhile I am throughly in love with the series this is least favorite it red like a filler. No real substance. I hope the next one is betterWhy the 'disappointed' reviews?
5By katrachita02The only thing disappointing about this is that it is too short. As an avid reader, I see this book as one to entertain yourself and/or to feed your level of enthusiasm and excitement. It is quite good and I love it! The only thing I am waiting for is the next book. The sipnosys of Dead Reckoning was awesome and I am going to pre-order it soon! I hope is as good as the previous books. :) Love you CH!Better than the last flop!!!!
4By cwallCouldn't put this one down.The book
5By RobsillaThis book was good but I don't think it should be for us john muir students. I don't mind it because as you may already know I'm mature well mor than others,and some moms may not like there kids reading about a man and woman fighting to have sex. Well that's my point of thoughtDead in the Family
4By BuffyfaninkansasAfter reading the other reviews, I reluctantly purchased this with low expectations. However, I found myself enjoying it as well as the last 3-4 in the series. I still feel that the supernatural characters introduced in the last few haven't been as fully developed as the first novels which I found so engaging. But there was still enough there to keep me blazing through (although sadly, not enough Eric). I continue to eagerly await the next one.Love the Dead
4By Trainspotter81Just enough to keep me happy yet leave me wanting more!Good read
4By ReadSpeedReally enjoyed this.Sookie is great
5By Pandora LI have read all the books in less than a month mainly the last 8 in a week and s half. I have not been this glued to a serious of books since the green mile. The last book was slow but leaves me wanting the next one. Keep up the great work and by no means let the plot of the show influence the rest of the books. So far I like the way the books are going tv is just tv it puts a interesting twist on the books.Waiting anxiously
5By cwilli1For the next book to come out!!!!! Love the series. Totally worth reading!Hmmm
4By Slinky StudioI just posted a review on the Top Paid Sci-Fi iBook at the moment because I didn't think much of it but this is a heck of a lot better. But 'The Interlopers' is still the beat Sci-Fi iBook on the iBookstore.Almost swayed by reviews
5By GiantsGal28Before I read this book, I was a little sketch about the reviews. But if you like the relationship between Eric and Sookie, this was a great read. Not a lot of action till the end, but worth the $$$$. Also, I liked that CH ended the book that we know there will be more. Can't wait!!!Yay
5By NevilleDevilIt was amazing!
