With her knack for being in trouble's way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but her attention is divided when she realizes that her lover, Eric Northman, and his "child", Pam, are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, Sookie is drawn into the plot - which is much more complicated than she knows.

This installment is thus far the darkest (to me) of all the books, but I really enjoyed it. Some of the other reviews have lamented the decline of comedy that we've experienced in the former novels, but I found it just as enjoyable a read as the others. At this point, Sookie's been through so much in such a short time that I found it humanizing that her bright spark has been dimmed a bit- Really, who of us could maintain complete optimism in such times?

I honestly found myself hurting for Sookie and Eric, and feeling her bleakness over the situations in which they found themselves. I have no idea what's coming for them next, and I very much look forward to #12!

This is another good story by Charlaine Harris, but is not my favorite in the series. Book 1 and 4 are still at the top of my list.

Another good one!

This was not my favorite Sookie book. The mood was so down and depressing, with no joy at all. The chemistry between Sookie and Eric just didn't seem to be there, which was a HUGE let down. But it was still better than most, and I love the narrator! I really hope the next book has a bit more going on, and some lighter moments.

Not my fave, but still very good

The plot was a great and would have been excellent in my opinion, if it weren’t for the following: Eric’s unjust rough treatment of Sookie after the fight (he has always treated her with gentle affection( not sure what all that was about)); Sookie over reacting with the Amelia issue (I mean come on she thought she was doing what was best for Sookie (others have done worst )); Sookie not treating Eric the same way she treated Amelia after discovering his father’s arrangements and him not telling her immediately. Have I mentioned how amazing the narrator was? She was remarkable by the way. I could go on listening forever. Oh, and it is definitely not worth more money than the previous books.

Maybe if..........
