Praise for #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine
Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse novels
“It’s the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to
bed, thinking you’re only going to read one chapter, and then you
end up reading seven.”—Alan Ball, executive producer of True
Blood
“Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern
life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie
Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu, where humans,
vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her
mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries,
horror stories, and romances.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging,
smart, and sexy heroine.”—The Denver Post
“Blending action, romance, and comedy, Harris has created a fully
functioning world so very close to our own, except, of course, for
the vamps and other supernatural creatures.”—The Toronto Star
Harris's rousing fifth Sookie Stackhouse fantasy-mystery (after 2004's Dead to the World) pits vampires, were-creatures, shifters and one fairy godmother against a sniper with an apparent aversion to nonhumans. If trying to discover who's behind the shootings isn't enough, the telepathic cocktail waitress from Bon Temps, La., has to cope with a few other distractions: her sexy "Were" friend, Alcide Herveaux, needs her help in his father's bid to become the next leader of the local werewolf pack; her boss, Sam Merlotte (a collie in his spare time), gets shot; her house partly burns down; and what's she to do about the handsome vampire bartender who dresses as a pirate at Sam's place? Between one mishap and another, Sookie is one busy gal. Harris does an admirable job of creating a heroine who's not only interesting but completely believable in a world of the strange and the different. Natural and humorous dialogue and a nicely paced plot that doesn't dwell so much on Sookie's old boyfriends help make this entry the best yet in the series. Agent, Joshua Bilmes at Jabberwocky. 10-city author tour. (May 3) FYI: Harris is also the author of the Aurora Teagarden (Real Murders) and the Lily Bard (Shakespeare's Landlord) mystery series.
