Although it's a bit slower than the previous books, plot-wise, it's a great novel. Once again, the characters prove to be charming and the type of character the reader can empathize with. It's the type of book you just can't put down and if you love a little bit of history-twists (especially conce...

Another enjoyable read. The plot, such as it was, meandered, but I liked the various elements. The resolutions of the were and fae-in-the-woods plots felt a bit deus ex machina since the culprits were characters we either hadn't seen at all in this book or had seen very little of. Unlike some review...

I think I'd forgotten everything about this one since I read it the first time, because it felt like I was reading it for the first time, wow. So much happened in this I can barely keep it straight in my head Eric's maker showed up with his other "child," Alexei (the other child) is insane...and one...

3.5 stars moreso. Just a quick mini review/thoughts on this one:While I still really enjoyed this installment, I felt it was a bit "stale" compared to many of the previous ones. Maybe in part because there wasn't as much action, and this felt more like a filler for the rest of the story so that the ...

This series has turned the corner from mystery to soap opera. I think I'm done.

Another mediocre Sookie Stackhouse novel. I actually enjoyed this book more than I did the last which says something about how much I hated the fairy war since nothing really happens in this one. I'll admit that part of the reason I liked this book was that Eric was featured more than in any othe...

6/10/11 ** Day 14 Book 16 ** This edition of Sookie wrapped up several of the mysteries about the fae raised in Book #9 and left the problem of Eric's boss looming for the next volume. Unfortunately (or fortunately for those tired of seeing my posts about this series), I won't be sharing any more S...

As a whole I like this series, but this book didn't move the story much. The most important part, I thought, was in the beginning of the book seeing Sookie slowly recover from her trauma and then her interactions with her nephew. My only critique about the series thus far is the whole "there's anoth...

I'm not sure what it was about this installment in the Southern Vampire Mysteries Series, but I just couldn't seem to get into it. I had previous read books 2-9 within a two week period, and took a short break to read some other books before getting around to this 10th book in the series.The previo...
