Publisher's summary

Charlaine Harris' Anthony Award-winning Sookie Stackhouse mysteries have become a fixture on the New York Times best-seller list and have inspired the acclaimed HBO series True Blood.

In her ninth adventure, Sookie has just tied on her cocktail waitress apron for a night's work when a special report comes on the television. The time has come. The wereanimals have revealed themselves.

But there's an even greater danger threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings - older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves - is preparing for war. And Sookie finds herself an all-too human pawn in their battle.

Okie Dokie

These books are very addicitve. Although I'd say Harris' writing has a very subjective audience, some parts are down right ridiculous. But, if you're looking for a storyline that does not take much thought to follow and need a few unintended laughs, these are the books for you. They are so bad, they are good.

The best yet...

Now I'm on pins and needles for book 10!

Charlaine never fails

As usual, a fast paced book with well developed characters in the series. I could not put the book down. I love the Sookie Stackhouse series!

Significantly less good

I wish that Charlaine Harris was able to be more consistent in this series. It seems like I love one book and am disappointed when the next doesn't live up. I really wasn't impressed by the 'coming out' of the weres and the book didn't really get much better after that either.

These books never disappoint

It's so interesting to reread all the series long after the True Blood HBO series is over. If you pay attention to the details in the books you see where the HBO writers took little threads from the book series and created the 'enriched' story lines for HBO. I always thinks of all the spin offs that could be done. Hunters story continued...more detailed backstory on Claudia and her brothers...Amelia, Bob, Octavia and the witches of Orleans story, so many potential stories.
The books that have been written since the end of both series ( Book & HBO) on characters are just silly. The Midnight Series were fantastic. The occasional intertwining of the Vampire characters was great. I just wish Ms Harris would continue Midnight or come up with a new series. Thank you again Ms Harris

Vampires

I love this series. I have enjoyed listening hour after hour after hour. Worth the purchase.

Don't waste your time & money

This was an uninspired book and not very well read.

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️

This entire series is utterly amazing....They are worth every penny. You definitely will not be sorry for your purchase.... once you read the first book you'll be addicted 😍 and absolutely understand why and Harris is a best selling author.
Ms Parker made this series that much more amazing. All I can say it WOW 💯 phenomenal job. 🙌🏻

LEAST favorite of the series

This book barely answered any of my questions.. I really wanted Sookie and Eric to solidify their relationship but in the end if was the same Eric vs. Bill debate. I feel like this book was rushed.. when I finished it I just wanted more!

Bummer :(

Disappointing story

This book is very disappointing. The narrator is great but the story is bland. The characters rely on past stories to have any depth. New characters seem shallow and under developed. Good news - no heavy sex scenes!
