Great fun

Apparently, I’m completely smitten with Sookie Stackhouse!! I’ve listened to the first 6 books in the series, consecutively over the last 8 weeks! Sookie is the perfect summer read. On to #7!

More is revealed

Another great Sookie Stackhouse book. Some interesting things are revealed in this book pertaining to Sookie's relationship with Bill and Eric. The first part of the book was a little slow but it made up for it in the second half which was non-stop suspense and intrigue. Quinn has grown on me some in this book and Sookie is getting tougher.

Back To Usual Quality

The Famous Sookie Accent is back, tho Eric is hit&miss! Good story, if predictable as far as mystery; I was way ahead all through.. Quin was a real plus!

This is one of my favorite Sookie Stackhouse novels. I LOVE Quinn the tiger. I think he is sexy as hell. I had the ooportunity to revisit this novel via audible audiobooks. Happy to say it hasn't changed my opinion. The chosen narrator, Johanna Parker was perfect for the job. She takes on Sookie with gusto, bringing our southern belle to life. She does a great job voicing the others characters too. I am glad that one of my favorite Sookie tales is even better on audio.
