Dead and Gone: Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mystery #9

By: Charlaine Harris

Narrated by: Johanna Parker

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.

SOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

I thought we would have to wait until May 19 to get this on audio, as Amazon.com had that as the release date for the audiobook. So I'm so excited that I came by the site today and saw that it was available! I can't wait to start listening to it!

Great storyline between Sookie and Eric!

I absolutely loved this book. Tried to read in small doses, just at the gym but like a true addict I just couldn't stop. I ended up gobbling all 7+ hours over a 3 day period because I couldn't wait to see what happened next. The storyline between Eric and Sookie is very satisfying, lots of lust and intrigue. I also liked the fairie war. As some others have noted, it is a bit darker in tone but I found that to be necessary to carry the story along. I cannot WAIT until October when the next book comes out!

Awesome

Out of the collection of 10 Sookie Stackhouse books, this book is pretty much one of the best in the series.

One of the best so far in the series!

When I first started this series, I just wanted it as something light to listen to while I did chores. Now, several books in, I find myself welling up with tears over the death of a character. I'm fully invested!

Also, the narrator is exceptional! She's a one woman show as she emotionally acts out (quite convincingly!) every character, from young to old, male to female, fairy to vampire. Truly a treat for the ears!

Dead and Gone

This is a book I've read over and over. I what's going to happen and I still get lost in the story.
