Summary

Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends.

Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She's afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter.

Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first.

story was a lot more relatable for me this time

she faced a lot of emotional events and his time, her two exes and the whole Debbie thing, the fire. it was very intense.
I do feel like she's so much more off of alseed than her first experience with him. not even trying to dress right for his events??

The story that keeps surprising

Another totally absorbing story that seductively draws you into the lurid world of Ms Stackhouse. The other world is so intisingly revealed that you just cannot stop trying to take a peep.

2nd read of this series just as good on audible

I really love this series. I was disappointed with the TV series now hearing the books on audible love it. The accent and pace are perfect. Well done

Another1 Bites the dust!

I love the reader’s voices & this 4th book in the series continues to be addictive and so very funny. I couldn’t put it down!
Looking forwards to seeing if Sookie gets it on with Alcide Herveaux!
Starting number 5 tomorrow!

Dead as a doornail

This is book 5 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Someone seems to have it in for the local shifter population, and Sookie has until the next full moon to discover the culpret. This has all the Charlaine Harris trademarks; plenty of action, mystery and romance, and the characters fans have come to know and love. A great addition to the series.
