All Together Dead, finished 4/28/08

Wow, what a way to finish up the series. The biggest calamity Sookie has been in yet happens in this book in a fictious? city that reminds me an awful lot of Chicago.... I can't say enough how much I enjoyed this Southern Vampire Mystery Series starring Sookie Stackhouse. I hope Charlaine Harris continues to write about her or the show comes to light (wrote about in my last post).

The only thing I got bummed about in this story is that it's left hanging a bit more than the previous books in this series; as far as what she has coming up (the previous books often alluded to something) and her love interest doesn't end as you really want it and that's all I'm going to say about that.

here's the review from off Amazon:
Bestseller Harris mixes humorous Southern-fried fantasy with biting satirical commentary in her seventh novel to feature Sookie Stackhouse, the bubbly telepathic barmaid from Bon Temps, La. (after 2006's Definitely Dead). Sookie attends an all-important central U.S. vamp summit on the shores of Lake Michigan as a "human geiger counter" for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of a Louisiana weakened by Katrina and who will be tried during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders, not to mention protests by the Fellowship of the Sun, a right-wing antivampire movement. Her sleuthing skills, along with those of her new telepath friend, Barry the Bellboy, are put to the extreme test. Harris juggles a large cast, including several romantic contenders for Sookie's heart, with effortless exuberance. HBO's True Blood, based on this addictive series, is scheduled to begin its TV run this fall. 11-city author tour.

Product Description: Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has her hands full dealing with every sort of undead and paranormal creature imaginable. And after being betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Sookie must not only deal with a new man in her life-the shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with the long-planned vampire summit. The summit is a tense situation. The vampire queen of Louisiana is in a precarious position, her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans. And there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

As you can well imagine, I'm now on a mission to read everything from this great author. From my internet searching it seems she has several individual books and several series. On my way to the library today to check the rest out, if they have them. **** stars again.
