Publisher Description
Charlaine Harris' Anthony Award-winning Sookie Stackhouse mysteries have become a fixture on the New York Times best-seller list and have inspired the acclaimed HBO series True Blood. In this ninth adventure, Sookie has just tied on her cocktail waitress apron for a night's work when a special report comes on the television. The time has come. The wereanimals have revealed themselves. When the weres and shifters finally come out, the residents of Bon Temps, Louisiana, must deal with the violent aftermath. But a far greater danger threatens. A race of unhuman beings-older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves-is preparing for war. And Sookie will find herself an all-too human pawn in their battle...

"This series is definitely different than the HBO series True Blood, but that's ok with me. I still love both. I think she'll end up with Bill eventually although you can't have a good love story without conflict. I like how Sookie is bringing the more human side out in Eric. Great creative series."
— Alesha (4 out of 5 stars)

" Plenty of action in this one... Not quite satisfied with some of the story line... Guess I'll have to read the next one for answers ; ) "
— Sharyn, 2/13/2014 -
" As always, Harris brings the Sookie Stackhouse characters together in an interesting and life threatening adventure. "
— Kristelle, 2/11/2014 -
" Love this book - a fun easy read "
— Samantha, 1/27/2014 -
" The saga continues. This one was pretty nasty- more death and fighting than even the prior ones. "
— Nadine, 1/25/2014 -
" I love all the Sookie books but I especially love the ones with lots of ERIC!!! (which this one has FYI) "
— Emily, 1/23/2014 -
" This series really fell off the rails when it was adapted for a cable series True Blood. The TV version has all of the blood and sex but none of the charm and humor that made the first three or four books so delightful. Sadly, the later books became more like the TV series. Barely readable now. "
— Sallyaj, 1/22/2014 -
" I see what people mean when they talk about inconsistencies. It's like Harris forgets some details from previous work. A bit annoying. You would think the editors would spot those. But on the whole a good story to enjoy. "
— Marie, 1/19/2014 -
" Oh this one is just so ridiculous. I can't even begin to rate it. Fairy portals? What is going on here Sookie? And why does Eric keep saying "lover"!?!?! Just hate it. I can't even read the passages when he talks. "
— Lindsey, 1/16/2014 -
" Another fun Sookie novel. Started a bit slow, but the end made up for it. "
— Eric, 12/17/2013 -
" I love me some Sookie Stackhouse. It's like "Steel Magnolias" meets "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." "
— Dale, 12/2/2013 -
" Just love these books - got the box set for christmas - whoop - can't wait to read the next one - although I'll have to see if the library has it as it's not part of the box set yet! "
— Carina, 10/15/2013 -
" Loved it no surprise there on to the next one "
— Gloria, 10/9/2013 -
" I think I enjoyed this one the best of the series so far. It came together well and much of my complaints of the previous books aren't here. Lots happens and more importantly lots is revealed both personal to Sookie and about "supes" worlds. "
— Mark, 9/22/2013 -
" It was a good read but not as good as the previous books "
— Peggy, 7/8/2013 -
" The best one yet, I think! "
— Kat, 11/16/2012 -
" Better than the last one. But I still like Sookie! "
— Cara, 8/25/2012 -
" Possibly the most intense book in the series that I've read thus far. I don't want to say more because I don't want to spoil anything. "
— Katharine, 8/16/2012 -
" There was a little more action in this book than the previous few. I was starting to feel that the story was beginning to drag on, but this one picked it up a little. "
— Russel, 5/8/2012 -
" Really really liked this book! When there is Eric and Sookie magic, it doesnt get any better! "
— Jill, 2/29/2012 -
" I really enjoyed this book. A lot of action. I love this series. "

" My favorite of the series so far. "
— Kristin, 8/19/2011 -
" I would give this one more stars if I could. Definitely one of my favorites of the series. "
— Michelle, 4/10/2009 -
" I didn't enjoy this Sookie Stackhouse mystery nearly as much as I did previous installments. I really liked it but it just didn't stick with me as much as the others that came before it. "
— Lauren, 2/18/2009 -
" 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. "
— Miranda, 10/14/2008
