Well, I enjoyed it. And I think the quality of writing - ie. sentence and paragraph construction - is better. But I have comments and a question...But, really, when I read a book, I like to wonder about motives and desires of the characters. In CH's books, I can't do that so much because there's a l...

Oh, how I missed Sookie and Eric and all of the Bon Temps gang.Charlaine Harris can sure tell a good story. She takes the most boring and mundane details of life in a small town and makes it an interesting and humorous read. I had to chuckle when a comment was made about the patrons of Merlotte’s si...
Titles are so hard to come up with...
Wow, how does she come up with this stuff? I can't wait to see what happens next...

Seriously?This book was such a disappointment. There was little to no plot. No romance. Good Lord! Even her men sucked in this book--except for Claude and Jason and they are off limits because they are both family and Claude is gay. Alcide was ok, but I think that ship sailed long ago and Sooki...

This was really more like 2.5 stars for me, even pushing 3 but since I gave a lot of the other books 3 stars (that I thought were better) I wanted to acknowledge the difference. This book was fine, just pretty uneventful and felt like kind of a filler with a somewhat unresolved ending.

I read this right when it came out, and have been spending all this time thinking about what to say about it. I enjoyed the book a lot, overall, and I see that not everyone did.One thing I particularly enjoyed was the fact that all of the characters have changed so much. Sookie is thinking in much m...

I really enjoyed this book in spite of myself. I was primed not to like it at all after reading the last one and having a look at the reviews. But it did keep me turning the pages and finished it in one afternoon. I only have a couple of issues - too much Eric and not enough Bill. :) Bill is so ...

Episodic and kind of aimless, as usual, but still held my attention. I guess I always want to find out what happens next.

This was an odd book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. It read like a bunch of Charlaine Harris's short stories tied together with a common theme of family. Overall, there seemed to be lacking a central plot and the story seemed flat and fragmented.
