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
In this engrossing installment of the best-selling "Southern Vampire" series, Sookie Stackhouse from Bon Temps, LA, is ensnared in another mysterious death and the politics of every supernatural group in town, from the werewolves to the vampires to the magical fae. Sookie's life is in an uproar-she and her vampire husband, Eric, are on eggshells, all the worse when she finds him feeding on another woman, a young "were" whose intoxicating scent is irresistible. When this stranger winds up dead on Eric's front lawn, all worlds collide as Sookie scrambles to clear his name-and her own. Audie Award-winning narrator Johanna Parker's dynamic Southern tones are seamless with Harris's prose. VERDICT Though this book is much less sexy than previous novels in the series, Harris delivers another trademark mystery with fantastic characters and nonstop action. True Blood fans will not be disappointed. [The Ace hc, published in May, was a New York Times best seller.-Ed.]-Jamie-Lee Schombs, Middletown, NY (c) Copyright 2012.
