This remains my favorite

I've got a soft spot for Eric and despite the situation, they find themselves in this time around, it's kind of like a honeymoon break for Sookie which I heartily appreciate.

The books are better than the show

As I continue through this series I find I much prefer how the story flows through the books much better than the tv show. There is a lot of character development, especially in this book.

I just do not like the narrator

With a story like the sookie stackhouse novels you'd expect to have one hell of a narrator but...nope. Her "southern" accent is awful and sounds ridiculous, she draws it on too thick and it sounds super fake. Her "sexy" male voice is historical. I've stopped this audiobook several times and picked up the book because I couldn't stand her. It's a shame she ruined the story. These books are some of the best I've ever read and continue strong until about the 9th book then start to go down hill a little, in my opinion.

My favorite of the series so far

I really love the world inside these stories and Johanna Parker's narration of them. I've listened to the first five in a few days and I'm starting the sixth one now. Erik is my favorite character so this is my favorite book so far.

Loved this one!

My favorite part is when Sookie said it was adequate. LOL. I definitely giggled and liked her follow up description. Love the spice in this one.
