Sookie Stackhouse #12
While holding a party for Vampire Kind Felipe de Castor, the dead body of
a woman, Eric only minutes before fed on, appears on his front lawn. Sookie with the help of Bill must find out
what really happened and why, before Eric’s situation, and thus her’s, becomes
even more precarious.
I would call this book an in-between book. It was missing the usual amount of horrific
fun and constant movement from one death situation to the next for Sookie. Instead, it was more like catching up with
your friends in Bon Temps while solving a very complicated mystery encompassing
many players. Sookie turns 28, Tara and
JB have their twins, Jason and Michele get engaged, Sam finally sees Jannalynn
for who she really is and we even briefly hear from Quinn. We see the further deterioration of Sookie
and Eric’s relationship and finally come to understand Dermot’s and the Fae
situation. Frankly, I really enjoyed Harris’
departure from the usual format. I have
never solely read these books for the action; I also invested in the
characters. My only real complaint was
not seeing enough of Pam. I missed her.
Book 13 is said to be the last book in the series and I feel this one
nicely sets it up (perhaps for a lovely happily-ever-after with Sam, at least I
hope so).
