 This series just keeps getting better January 6, 2009
Another great Sookie book.
I'm trying to remember the details of this one right now since I just went on a binge and read them all.
The one thing I do need to stress to anyone interested in reading this - everything will be WAY better if you read all of the books in sequential order. I don't think this is a series where each book is stand alone. This is definitely a series with a longstanding story arch - so read them all. Trust me, its worth it.
 why are they hot for Sookie?...... December 9, 2008

like many other fans of the series, the increasing male supernatural characters getting lathered up for Sookie in previous books was getting a bit odd and off putting. Finally, in book six, we learn there may be a supernatural reason for their lust-though I will not blow it for you. Needless to say, it was a quirky new addition to the Southern Vampire world built by Ms. Harris.
Overall, I really enjoyed book 6, though it did have as many flaws as perfections. Like other reviewers, my biggest complaint was the sudden introduction of Sookie's cousin Hadley storyline. The story was introduced like such a "given" that I wondered if I had somehow missed it in a previous book. It seems like it was actually introduced in a short story, so I have to knock off half a star for thoroughly confusing this reader. Bad Charlaine! LOL
But there was enough supernatural action, laughs, drama, and Southern sexiness to satisfy this reader.
4.5 stars-recommended!

I am glad to read some other reviews as I have been trying to figure out how I missed the 'book' on Hadley and that whole series of events? Possibly it'll be in a novella or other collection? Someone should ask Charlaine what happened there. I also think Quinn is a great new character, as is the Queen, hope we see more of her!
Off the topic... someone should ask her what the heck happened with True Blood. Did she give up all rights to the series? Other than Sookie and Sam, many of the characters have little to do with thir character in the books (and are much scuzzier looking/acting than we expect from the books) and all the weirdo's that have been introduced.... and the liberties taken with the book characters!! The books have a sense of humor... this series is grim and grimer. Wow.
True Blood fans rejoice December 6, 2008
For all fans of HBO's True Blood, Charlaine Harris' series is a must read! The TV show keeps amazingly close to the spirit of the books, although the story lines vary a little (so expect some surprises after all).
These books are clever, original, well written and (unlike some other famous vampire series) sexy and a quick read. I know you will enjoy!
Exciting December 2, 2008
This book turned out to be one of my favorites of the stackhouse series. There is action x2 so it really gives you alot to read. You really just want to kick Bill in the butt but I will not spoil it but is a must read..
Lots of things come into play with this book and things are making more sense.
