Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on that there she'd rather no know. And now that she's an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she'd rather no see-like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one.
There's a thing or two she'd like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet-Felipe de Castro, the vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It's the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric's front yard- especially the body of a woman whose blood he just drank.
Now it's up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Fire investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl's fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious that she would ever suspect, who's set out to make Sookie's world come crashing down.
I really loved the book! It was a great page turner and as always, I managed to finish it in a few days time (would have finished sooner but ya know, life gets in the way of my reading habits). I was pleased to find out some of the answers I had questions to about the remaining fae. I was also glad to see life progress in positives ways around bon temps. I wonder now though, with only one book in the series remaining for Charlaine to write... what choice will Sookie choose for herself. Do all roads really lead to Rome for her, so to speak? Or will she decide something completely different? There are so many choices and its too soon to tell, but one thing is for certain... I can't wait till to read the finale!
