"I'm still loving the Sookie series. They are fast paced and suck you right in (no pun intended). I liked this one even better because Sookie does not get beaten up for a change. Sookie is hired to accompany the Queen of Louisiana to a vampire convention where intrigue and assassination plots prevail."
— Kristina (4 out of 5 stars)
“Bestseller Harris mixes humorous Southern-fried fantasy with biting satirical commentary in her seventh novel to feature Sookie Stackhouse…Harris juggles a large cast, including several romantic contenders for Sookie’s heart, with effortless exuberance.”
— Publishers Weekly" This is the second audiobook in the Sookie series and I'm hooked. Looking forward to listening to the complete series. "
— jreed, 11/3/2023" This book was very entertaining it gave more detail into the vampire world and made feel for Eric and Pam.Sookie actually showed more bravery than previous books. "
— Lillian, 5/4/2016" This was the best one of the series. "
— Maureen, 2/17/2014" The Sookie Stackhouse books are sort of "fluff" books for me. Always entertaining, and easy reads. "
— April, 2/14/2014" These are such easy reads, but so interesting now that they are nowhere near what the TV show had done. "
— Renee, 2/11/2014" First off, I love the Sookie Stackhouse books... but it took me waaay longer than it should have for me to get through this one. Normally, I can't stop reading until I finish the others, but I had no motivation to finish this one. 1. I don't like the character of Quinn. I don't know why... but I don't. 2. I think the whole idea of the vampire convention was pretty stupid. 3. The ending didn't really conclude the story. I mean, I know there are several more books to go, but I felt like the climax was way to close to the end, and there wasn't really a resolution to this particular story. 4. Harris introduced so many new characters/names in this book that it got a bit overwhelming and I lost track of who's who. "
— Caitlin, 2/8/2014" More about the inner politics of the Vampire world, as Sookie works for the Queen. There is alot going on, including a plot to kill the Queen and the FOTL bomb plot. Sookie is saying Quinn is her boyfriend but her feelings for Eric and Bill are still there. Lot's of fun! "
— Lisa, 1/31/2014" good plots lines and intrigue.....vampire politics....fun "
— Patryk, 1/27/2014" OMG it took me forever to finish this book.. not sure if it was the book or I just wasn't in the mood to read lately... "
— Leanna, 1/21/2014" So far my favorite of the series "
— Lionessstar121, 1/20/2014" This one is my least favorite of the series thus far. It is long-winded and there are so many new character she has to provide such a wealth of background it distracts from the story. "
— Karlene, 1/10/2014" Brain candy. So easy to read and just fun. "
— Suzanne, 1/6/2014" I am re-reading the Sookie Stackhouse series in the run up to the release of the final book! I really liked All Together Dead. There was loads happening in it! But I loved seeing Sookie & Eric relationship change with the blood exchange! Onto the next one! "
— Megan, 1/6/2014" another great book in this series. I really enjoy the writing style, the humor and just the overall feel of these books in general. I can pick one up and escape to the world of sookie statckhouse and lose myself in it "
— Laura, 12/12/2013" Getting somewhat bored with the series. But only a few left so may as well finish it. "
— Sara, 12/12/2013" I'm an idiot: I already read this. It might be sad to say it took 1/3 of the book for me to realize. "
— Lisa, 8/31/2013" Loved this book in the series, even I'm in love with Eric! "
— Paula, 7/28/2013" So far this is my fav book out of the series. I couldn't put it down. Can't wait to read the next one. "
— Sheena, 7/23/2013" I REALLY liked this one! It was action packed and unpredictable! "
— Mindy, 7/2/2013" Okay, so these books are definitely not high on the intellectual charts but I have to say I love them. They are just fun to read. This has been my favorite thus far. "
— Stacy, 12/18/2012" If not for the tv series, I'd have given up on this series by now. I'm not a big fan of the writing style, I just like comparing the book story to the tv story. "
— Tovë, 11/26/2012" 323 p. "
— Kate, 10/17/2012" I'm really not a fan of Quinn. "
— Eneida, 4/3/2012" At this rate, there won't be many vampires left! "
— Megan, 2/27/2011" I am currently re-reading the Sookie Stackhouse series in preparation for reading the most recent addition to the series. It is fun and enjoyable reading, with a twist or two in the plot. "
— Patt, 3/30/2009" After reading a series of 2-star books, I treated myself by reuniting with Sookie Stackhouse. Ah, this did not disappoint - I read it in a weekend and loved every minute of it. This series isn't deep at all, but it's a fabulous fluffy read about vampires. "
— Liza, 2/22/2009" just as amusing as all the others. "
— Emily, 1/9/2009" Best one in the series! Easy read, Eric comes center stage for sure. A Bill fan no longer am I. "
— Tonya, 11/30/2008" Snooze fest. The avalanche of characters and the painful descriptions of the wedding just came so ridiculous, and I had to skip many pages. I am not the biggest fan of Quinn -- so that could be my reluctance to this book. I just wish Sookie would go to Eric and stop fighting her feelings. "
