 ehh December 4, 2008
Although I think this book was better than book 3, I thought the lack of main plot made the book reading messy. As much as Sookie is beginning to get a backbone with her character, it seems as she really doesn't have control of her daily activities which is a bit disappointing. She accepts invitations that lead to her getting in messy situations, all the while complaining about it. I think most of the side characters were not deep enough for us to warrant any care for. I do like book 1,2, and 4 better.
One thing I have to say I did like was Bill's stay with Sookie in the hospital. I thought Harris threw away their relationship all to swiftly after she wrote about it for two books. Even though they may be moving on with their lives, I do not believe that they would just forget about each other so quickly.
 Great Series! November 26, 2008
I love the southern vampire mysteries. Charlaine Harris has created a wonderful cast of characters.
enjoyable as always, but...... November 25, 2008
if you are interested in reading book 5 in this series than you're a fan and I can leave out a synopsis of the series. I just finished book four, which I felt was the best so far (I'm a Sookie/Eric fan) and I was excited to read the next book. Overall the story was very good, but not great. This particular story seemed more like a zig zagging grouping of side stories than one continuous thread.
Also, there not enough sexual tension between Sookie and any one particular male character, in fact yet more male creatures "hot for Sookie" have been introduced, which is getting a bit "odd". Though my husband, who's read all the books already say's their a method to their madness so I'm willing to overlook that.
But, all in all, even a "so-so" Sookie Stackhouse mystery is better than most other paranormal mysteries, so I'd still suggest it for other Sookie fans.
4 stars.
My review November 16, 2008
You must read all the Southern Vampire Mysteries in the proper order. Each one will keep you highly entertained and enthralled.
Sookie carries on with her "charmed existance" November 10, 2008

If you are up to book 5, you've been bitten by the Sookie Stackhouse book and I don't have to tell you how riveting her life is. Charlaine Harris does it again -- and superbly: keeps you enthralled with an unlikely heroine, vampires, werewolves, and all sorts of creatures that you should know better than believe in.
In book 5, brother Jason is now a shifter himself (and still as dumb as dirt and more handsome than he deserves), a sniper is out hunting his shifter kind, and Sookie is (of course) caught in the middle -- with one romantic challenge after another.
Go ahead and read this one too: Work, kids, the grass, and tax day can just wait!
