While I still loved this book... I was a little disappointed there seems to be a whole backstory that is somehow missed between the last book and this one. ( )

Decent Fluff. ( )

Another installment in the Sookie series. It was an interesting read and storyline. There's something about these books that make me continue reading them, probably just to see what happens next in this world. I do love Eric and I love to see what happens with him. ( )

not my favorite of the series, but it was quick and pretty mindless, though I felt like I was missing something. ( )

Gah. So I spent the entire book wondering if I read them out of order because I couldn't find the numbers on the cover of the book. Turns out, we did miss stuff that happened in a vampire collection short story, that was super important to the plot. As someone who has a box set, it's really annoying that the short story wasn't included at the beginning of this book to explain it. I mean, I guess you can survive the book without reading the short, but the point is that the way its done isn't great. It was distracting. And annoying. So the whole Hadley storyline was a bust for me, except when it came to Amelia, who I actually found interesting, which is odd because I don't like any of Harris' females except for Pam.

I did, however, think that the Queen sure knows how to throw a party!

The whole Pelt family drama was over done. It was over last book, really. There wasn't any need to bring it into this one, as if it were an afterthought. It just didn't fit the plot here.

All in all, I'd have given it two stars, for confusing the crap out of me until I researched that a short story existed, (still don't know what that plot was by the way), but I really did like Sophie-Ann's party so it's a three.

Has anyone noticed my reviews of this series getting lazier and lazier? =)

EDIT: OH! and can I just say I'm not surprised by Bill's douchebaggery? ( )
