I'm officially addicted to this series. I'm slowing myself down by reading other books in between but could easily if I let myself read the whole series in one go over the Christmas break.
Synopsis: When the vampires save her life after an attack, Sookie is in their debt. She gets sent to Dallas to investigate a missing vampire, whose disappearance may be linked with a fundamentalist anti-vampire church (think Westboro but for vampires).
Score: 3 out of 5
I enjoyed this book a bit more than the first one, probably because I haven't seen True Blood season 2 yet, making the whole plot new to me. I approved of Eric having a more central role, and like the first, it was a quick, lively and engaging read. Sookie as a narrator keeps the pace fast and light, and the more I read her narration the more she grows on me.
That said, there were downsides to moving all of the action to Dallas. I missed some of the regular Bon Temps characters, and the new Dallas ones didn't seem as well rounded or developed. There were lots more supernatural creatures involved, and I do hope the series doesn't start to get a bit silly over the next few books.
A perfect relaxation read.
I'm addicted to this series too. I think some books are better than others, but I really enjoyed them anyway. I love Eric, and later on in the series I love Pam too. I haven't read any of her other series, but my cousin said the Harper Connelly series is really good, so I'd like to read them too.
ReplyDeleteI love this series. I have reviewed each one for my web column. I seriously can not wait for her next one to come out!
ReplyDelete@mummazappa - Glad I'm not the only one addicted! I love Eric too, and am looking forward to seeing how all the characters develop during the series.
ReplyDelete@The Lady with the Kitty - Have you got a link to your reviews? I would be interested to see what other people make of the series.
