It's all about family ...

Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing ...

I think this was the first stackhouse book where sookie doesn't absolutely drive me crazy! It wasn't too bad at all. I find myself sticking with this series because I'm so far into them now! Would I recommend the series possibly as each person is different to what they like to read.

DNF @ page 80/326.

I've been reading this 10 days and only gotten 80 pages in, which just shows how much i wasn't enjoying this considering i finish most paperbacks in about 5 days. I only wanted to read this because of True Blood--I've only seen the first series of the show, and wasn't too impressed with that either--and sometimes i think the books are better than the shows/films but this book was so slow moving and the way it was written--so southern--was starting to grate on me. Sookie was annoying me and Bill seemed like the kind of vampire to run off from, not rescue and take on a date.

Not for me at all.
  
3.5 stars.

I liked this, mainly the sizzling attraction between Jolie and Rand. And don't forget Jolie and the werewolf who's name I've forgotten. Or Jolie and Sinjin, the vampire. Everybody wants her.

But I was all for Rand, though his reluctance to sleep with her annoyed me throughout the book. Though after his description of the joining of them, I'm not too surprised that he's resisted so far.

I'm a little disappointed with the ending, I guess I was expecting for the war with Belle to actually end ready for another story in the second but I can see it's likely to stretch across all the books in the series.

I will certainly be reading more of the series I just don't know when.
