Praise for #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine
Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels
“It’s the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to
bed, thinking you’re only going to read one chapter, and then you
end up reading seven.”—Alan Ball, executive producer of True
Blood
“Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern
life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie
Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu, where humans,
vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her
mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries,
horror stories, and romances.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging,
smart, and sexy heroine.”—The Denver Post
“Blending action, romance, and comedy, Harris has created a fully
functioning world so very close to our own, except, of course, for
the vamps and other supernatural creatures.”—The Toronto Star
Telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse braces herself for trouble when another group of supernatural beings goes public in her disjointed eighth adventure (after 2008's From Dead to Worse). Following the vampires' lead, the shape-shifters decide to step out of the woodwork and announce their existence to the world. While the initial reveal goes smoothly, the brutal crucifixion of a young werepanther behind the local bar makes Sookie wonder if the people of Bon Temps, La., are as tolerant as she thought. Meanwhile, the FBI is asking questions about Sookie's uncanny ability to locate survivors after an explosion, and trouble is brewing among the secretive fae. Harris tries to cram too much into a single story, and even die-hard fans of Sookie's adventures in print and on HBO's True Blood will complain about the plot gaps.
