Description
After the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the manmade explosion at the vampire summit, everyone—human and otherwise—is stressed, including Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who is trying to cope with the fact that her boyfriend, Quinn, has gone missing. It’s clear that things are changing—whether the weres and vamps of her corner of Louisiana like it or not. And Sookie—Friend to the Pack and blood-bonded to Eric Northman, leader of the local vampire community—is caught up in the changes. In the ensuing battles, Sookie faces danger, death, and once more, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the fur has finished flying and the cold blood finished flowing, her world will be forever altered.

For all that was going on it seemed very little happened in this book. Having too many plots caused me to miss out on the character interactions that make these books so fun.

Well, so far this one's better than the last one. I'm about halfway through at present. I love Pam/Amelia, Octavia, the abundance of Eric, and the fact that Quinn's missing. And although I didn't like the introduction of fey characters into the series, they're improving slightly from their origin at the outset. I am so, so tired of the weres -- I wish I could skip all the were scenes without missing important plot points (harder to do when you're listening on audiobook like I am). I'm hoping the altercation with Priscilla is the end of their part in this book.
.....
Finished. I agree with other readers that Sookie's breakup with Quinn was cold. I didn't like Quinn, at all, but it was still pretty callous. I also agree with people that the end was totally abrupt. I'm also bummed that Amelia hooked up with Tray, who sounds like a totally uninteresting biker dude with a moustache. Pam is no comparison -- so obviously better!
Better than the last one, but still pretty average, over all.
Also, to add to the list of weird obsessions of Charlaine Harris: anybody else notice she's obsessed with silk shirts? Nobody wears silk that often in real life.

Lots going on in this one, the 8th book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries. Sookie intervenes in what looks like a war between two groups of werewolves, she also ends up getting caught in the middle of a hostile takeover of the Louisiana vampire region, has to stand up for her brother when his wife, a werepanther, breaks her marriage vows, and also gets to meet her great-grandfather, a fairy prince - who leads her to meet another unknown relative. It didn't finish in a cliffhanger, thankfully, because I don't have the next book yet, but I definitely want to continue with the series.

This book was more of the same. If you liked the first 7 books, then you will like this one. It seems about even in weres, vampires and witches. There is even a little bit of fairy drama in it. I enjoyed reading it, but I don't know if this was the best book in the series. I did really like the final chapter, where Sookie met Hunter. I would really like to see more of him, and explore a relationship between Hunter and Sookie. But I don't know if that will happen any time soon.
It seems like a lot happened in this book. There was an attempted vampire takeover. Drama in the were-panther community. Witchcraft. A resolution to Bob the cat's story. An attempted were takeover. People trying to kill Sookie. Lots of intrigue. But still, I felt the tone of this book was pretty mellow and low key. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to fans of the series.

Another great audio book about Sookie Stackhouse. I like listening to these one after the other as it keeps the story going right along. This one picked up right where the last one left off. It's not as violent as some of the others but I think there is enough backstory given you could listen to this without the other 7 first. But still a wonderful story. Get the audio, they are the best way to read this series.

FINALLY Quinn is out of the picture, I really disliked what his character did to the story (in my opinion, it just had a chilling effect on the plot). This book was much better than the last couple.

From Dead to Worse
3 Stars
Harris's world building is fascinating and Sookie is a delightful and down-to-earth heroine. Nevertheless, something is missing from this installment perhaps because it is a bridging book with the storyline moving in a new and completely different direction.
Plot threads from previous books are wrapped up quickly with well-established characters disappearing, and new people and elements are introduced. Shaking things up is not necessarily a negative, but not all of the issues are resolved satisfactorily.
Sookie's love life is on hiatus although the men in her life still can't seem to let go. Eric's memories of his time with Sookie return; Bill, the scumbag, is determined to win her back; Sam seems incapable of expressing his true feelings, Alcide has be regulated to "friend of the Sookie status", and Quinn is MIA.
In sum, it will be interesting to see where Harris is going with the new focus, but she definitely needs to liven things up soon.

More from Sookie Stackhouse, and what can I say about this series that I haven't already said. The writing is consistent, the characters are dynamic and relatable and the plotting is always suspenseful.Particularly on this one, I like how the author tied in real-world events, like Hurricane Katrina. I mean, it'd be pretty hard to gloss over when your books are set in New Orleans, but she writes it right in, no glossing in sight.
jeremypreacher
Kind of a muddled mess, plot-wise, although it was nice to get resolution on so many long-running subplots. The body count in the series has passed the point of no return, for me - it's probably inevitable in any really long-running mystery series, particularly one that doesn't shy away from racking up the corpses, but I've sort of stopped caring about everybody because the odds that they survive are so low.
I like the last scene quite a bit - the implications are fascinating - but it's very much undercut by the above apathy.

I love Skokie and the gang. Her antics are not normal and I just get to live a life I don't have to worry about for a few hours.
auntieknickers
Excellent specimen of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Ms Harris has kept the vampire stuff from becoming old hat by introducing other supernatural creatures -- shapeshifters, Weres, faeries -- and expanding their roles as the series goes on. And Sookie herself continues to grow and change. Highly recommended.

I can't say this was my favorite one in the series, but it wasn't bad. Not great, but not horrible. I'll confess I'm getting to the point in the series that I skim a lot, but after reading this far, I'm committed!
krumbs_1
I generally really enjoy this series; the characters are interesting and the author never makes them all-powerful (which has gotten annoying in other series). However, this particular installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series was really uneven. There was no unifying concept; instead it felt like a string of short stories that had been slapped together and turned into a novel. A lot of loose ends were tied up, and while that's generally satisfying, it felt like the author was saying goodbye to the series entirely. There were new elements introduced, but I can't say I feel compelled to find out what happens next as I wasn't left with any feeling of urgency. I'll read the next book because I do like the author's writing style, but honestly I'm a bit uninterested at the moment.
bluesgal79
I am now completely caught up on Harris' just-for-fun-no-excuses-given Sookie Stackhouse mysteries.
Even the ones that haven't been great have been fun, and sometimes that's all literature really needs to be.

I love this series! I thought this was a definite improvement over the last book, and the ending was great. The only disappointment I had was that, relationtionship-wise, the series seems to be pretty stagnant. Other than that, great read and I hope the next comes out soon!
cynical_ames
I have to agree with other reviews I have read in relation to this book. It felt very much like an in-between book which tied up the loose ends of the last one in a sensible and 'sort of' predictable way. I did love the ending with the little boy. I had to re-read the last few pages just to make sure I had it right - it was so unexpected. I really hope we see him in future books.

Every were and vampire Sookie gets around winds up getting her beaten, shot, staked, raped, and generally treated like hell. Alsead was a self centered ass, Quinn was a self centered ass (well, centered on his whack mom and can't find five minutes to call for WEEKS after Rhodes? And then hides in the woods watching while Sookie is put in a situation where he HAS to know that she is set up _in her own home_ to be slaughtered?????) Bill feels terribly guilty for his horrible betrayal of Sookie, and Eric, well, Eric is still just self-centered Eric The Politician.
I think she should wind up with Sam! He is warm, loving, caring, (did I mention Warm?? As in his whole body is warm ... not a cold, dead body! Hate to be nasty, but I couldn't imagine doing the whoopee with an icicle! Eww! Does anyone ever Think of that when they get all hot and bothered about vampire whoopee? ROFL)
I'm rooting for Sam . . . hey, I used to handle dead bodies for a living. Sleeping with one? Hooooo boy! NOT a nice thing to consider! Dead flesh is NOT pleasant, kids and kiddies! And speaking of kids and kiddies - Sam can give her all the things that she has REALLY always wanted - a real life. Family, children, a real home, a life in the SUN. Remember, no matter what, Sookie is a true child of the Sun, her fairy blood assures that. And anyone who actually reads the books KNOWS that. She has mentioned, time after time, how much she loves the sun, how much she loves children and how she would love to have children. Certainly can't do that with a vampire! And Sam loves her for HER, not for what she can do for him, how much status she give them, nothing but the fact that he adores her for who she is - Sookie, the kind, gentle, honest, tough, independent, Southern barmaid.
Rereading the whole series now, and really love Sookie, and since I listen to Audible, I can't tell you how much I love Johanna. She IS Sookie Stackhouse.

I must say I'm still intrigued by the multiple story lines that continue to weave through this series. It's my guilty pleasure, and I will be getting the next one soon since she ended it with a little gift of a surprise.

This book was all over the place - it felt like a series of short stories stitched together with a very thing common thread. Disappointing.

Trashy... but fun. :)

In general I really like this book, but to be honest the last pages were not as good as the rest... But I still read this books as fast as I can in less than one month I was done with the 8 books that I bought and now I want MORE!!!!
daniellemd-1
Another fun outing in Bon Temps. These books are so enjoyable! Not quite fluff, there's a lot going on there, but Charlaine injects so much humor and lightness into her books that you never feel stressed or bogged down by the drama and danger.

I followed up the Twilight series with the Sookie Stackhouse series. A good, soft transition into more paranormal romance. Too much hype for Charlaine Harris's books because of the HBO series than deserved. The HBO series is fine; the books are fine, but the plot/mystery of each book is simple. Very quick read -- straightforward plot with friendly characters that are easy to like. If you enjoy paranormal, you will probably enjoy this series, but there truly are more gripping, non-plain vanilla paranormal series out there (both in terms of adult scenes and dynamic realtionships between various beings in the paranormal realm). My 4-star rating is based on my thoughts just after reading, but would probably garner only 3-stars after having read Alexancer Ivy, Jacqueline Frank and Gena Showalter. I stopped reading this series after the 9th book...

After the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the man-made horror of the explosion at the vampire Summit, Sookie Stackhouse is safe but dazed, yearning for things to get back to normal. But her boyfriend, the weretiger Quinn, is missing.
She then learns that she is descended from fairies, and is 1/8 fairy herself. Her beloved grandmother had an affair with a half-fairy, and had two children with him. While her grandfather is dead, her fairy great-grandfather, Niall Brigant, is alive and seeks to meet her.
Sookie is soon drawn into investigating several mysterious deaths among the local Were community. Her telepathy and status as a 'friend of the pack' forces her to mediate between two warring factions, whereupon she discovers that a pack displaced by Hurricaine Katrina has been killing the Shreveport Weres in order to take their place. There is a brief "war" between the two packs, with the Shreveport pack emerging victorious, Alcide now in charge.
At the same time, Felipe de Castro, King of Nevada, begins a violent campaign to wrest control of the kingdoms of Louisiana and Arkansas from the injured Queen Sophie-Anne Leclerq. The King's men kill the Queen and all of the sheriffs of Louisiana except for Eric, who surrenders in exchange for his life and the lives of all under his protection. Meanwhile, Sookie is upset to learn that she now has a very close blood bond with Eric, and can detect his feelings and know his location, and that she craves his company.
She learns that Quinn has been absent because his mother escaped from a were sanatorium where the mentally unstable weretiger was being held. In exchange for help in recapturing her, Quinn became the prisoner of the King of Nevada. She decides that given Quinn's familial responsibilities, she does not wish to have a romantic relationship with him. She renews her romantic relationship with Eric at the same time.
She also has an upsetting encounter with the werepanthers of Hot Shot. Her sister-in-law, Crystal, is unfaithful to her brother, which means that, based on the particular traditions of Hot Shot, Sookie is required to break the hand of Crystal's uncle and Sookie's friend, Calvin Norris. This causes a rupture in her relationship with Jason, and she stops talking to him.
As the novel ends, Sookie rescues King Felipe de Castro, Eric, and Sam Merlotte from the murderous intentions of Sigebert, earning her the King's gratitude.

Sookie Stackhouse books should not be confused with the True Blood series. Characters are from the book and the setting is from the book, but that is about it. Harris has created a world of vampires and fairies, weres and things that go bump in the night. As a book series it is fun and rich with details. There are some of the books that worked better than others. I enjoyed the plots and the way the characters developed in the novels much more than the show and eventually stopped watching. It was too confusing keep two different plot lines going for the same characters. I highly recommend people to read the series. As i wrote before some of the novels are great and some are just so so. I am not particularly fond of the last book because it seem so rush and out of character. Over great series and a reread.
jasprit_1
I'm surprised by how many people didnt like this book, its not the best in the series, but its definately better than the last two. There was sometimes so much suspense and tension, like when it was the pack meeting and the new vampires came to take over that I just couldn't put the book down, but there were some parts when nothing happened at all. I loved the fact that the pack played a prominent part in this book again, and im also glad Quinn's out of the picture, I didn't like him at all, and Crystal and Jason really annoyed me in this one too. But overall I quite liked this one.

Summary: After the deadly events at the vampire summit, there is major upheaval in the world of vampire politics. And, thanks to her close ties to some of the most powerful Louisiana vampires, small-town telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse is likely to get caught in the crossfire of any power play or takeover. But Sookie isn't just tied to the vampires; she's also a friend of the Shreveport Were pack. They're having their own leadership issues, and when members of the pack start turning up dead, Sookie is in danger of getting herself in the middle of a brewing Were war. And she can't rely on her boyfriend the were-tiger to keep her safe - he's been missing since the summit. And, to top it all off, Sookie meets a family member - her great-grandfather - that she'd never known about. Since Sookie's only other family is her irresponsible and immature brother Jason, a new relative is a big deal... but since her great-grandfather isn't exactly human, their family reunion seems likely to raise yet more complications.Review: This book is a bit of a conundrum for me. Its plotline is more scattered that any book since Living Dead in Dallas (my least favorite so far, primarily *because* of its fragmented nature.) And yet, I enjoyed it more than any book since Dead to the World (my favorite so far.) How can I reconcile that?Maybe it's because while From Dead to Worse certainly was scattered, and strangely plotted (the big battle that I was expecting to be the climax occurred about halfway through the book), it wasn't scattered in the same *way* as Living Dead in Dallas. Instead of bringing up a bunch of elements that exist only for the purpose of a single book, From Dead to Worse draws elements from throughout the series, reviving and wrapping up plotlines from many books back, while introducing new elements that will take us into the books to come. I liked that the focus of the story has shifted back to Sookie and away from all supernatural politics all the time, and I enjoyed the fact that she got to spend some more time interacting with her hometown people as well as supes from far and wide.But I think the real reason that I enjoyed it so much was that it was hugely, compulsively readable. The plot came in a lot of little disparate pieces, sure, but each of the pieces was so good and held my attention so well that on the day I picked it up, I stayed up into the small hours of the night because I didn't want to stop reading it, and the only reason I didn't stay up into the wee small hours to finish it was that pesky sense of responsibility telling me that I needed to get at least some sleep. Maybe it was just the right book for the right mood, but for whatever reason, it really worked for me. 4 out of 5 stars.Recommendation: No way this will make sense if you haven't read the earlier books, but for Sookie fans, I'm pleased to report that this series doesn't show any signs of a slump in the later books.

I know I said book 7 was my favorite, but this is my new favorite! See? Can't pick...Anyway, this makes me long for the shows return on HBO. I must know all that happens!
