Dead in the Family: Review

Dead in the Family

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #10)

by Charlaine Harris

After enduring torture and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Faery War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's angry. Just about the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by the new Vampire King because of their relationship. And as the political implications of the Shifters coming out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to the Shreveport pack draws her into the debate. Worst of all, though the door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry...

First Line: " I feel bad that I am leaving you like this," Amelia said.

My Review: Disappointed! I feel like I waited forever to read this book and was let down royally by it. The story dragged and never picked up for me. With that being said it will not stop me from reading any other book that is put out in this series. I have faith in Charlaine Harris to make a come back

Rating: 3 stars

The Accidental Demon Slayer: Review

The Accidental Demon Slayer

by Angie Fox

Prim and proper preschool teacher Lizzie Brown is on the verge of her thirtieth birthday when her hitherto unknown grandmother shows up, quickly followed by a demon erupting out of her toilet who Lizzie surprisingly manages to blast into “a million flecks of light.” Raised by distant adoptive parents, Lizzie had no idea that she was born to be a demon slayer. Her granny, a biker who communes with spirits in a metal lawn shed, then takes her to join her coven of senior biker witches who will help her defeat the demons who want to kill Lizzie before she can go after them. Along the way, Lizzie meets sexy shape-shifter Dimitri Kallinkikos, a sometime griffin who claims to be her protector but may have a hidden agenda that will take her straight to hell.

I dare you not to laugh out loud when reading this book. Wity and fun! With each passing page you can meet a new and awesome character. I thought this book was an easy read and have I told you all that in my mind all characters named Dimitri are hott... with two t's? I am not sure what my deal is when it comes to this name, but hott sums in up nicely!

Dead and Gone: Review

Dead and Gone

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #9)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis:

For Sookie Stackhouse, the day to day activities of the vampire and were communities in and around Bon Temps, Louisiana, are of vital interest, She's blood-bound to the leader of the vamps, a friend to the local were pack, works for a man who is shifter, and has a brother who is a were-panther…
But for most of the humans in Bon Temps, the vamps are mysterious seductive creatures-and they don't even know about the weres.
Until now. The weres and shifters have finally decided to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world.
At first it seems to go well. Then the mutilated body of a were-panther is found in the parking lot of the bar where Sookie works. The victim is someone she knows, so she feels compelled to discover who-human or otherwise-did the deed.

But what she doesn't realize is that there is a far greater danger than the killer threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings--older, more powerful and far more secretive than vampires or werewolves-- is preparing for war. And Sookie will find herself an all-too human pawn in their battle…

Just when you think there couldn't possibly be any more drama in Sookie's life and for the town she lives in.... WRONG! Charlaine Harris is fantastic when it comes to writing about these characters, at times you have to remind yourself that these characters are not real! It is so easy to relate and feel for the characters she writes about, and the ones in this book are no different. The cliff hanger left at the end of this book makes you wish time flew by so you could get you hands on the next book in the series! Kudos to Charlaine Harris

I feel compelled to mention that this book is by far more graphic than the others in the series, just don't want to lead any readers to a book that might leave them uneasy, so I will lay this out there.

I am giving Dead and Gone 5 stars and it falls into these reading challenges...

All Together Dead: Review

All Together Dead

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #7)

by Charlaine Harris

Synopsis
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse must now not only deal with a possible new man in her life-the oh-so-handsome shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with a long-planned vampire summit. With her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans, the local vampire queen is vulnerable to those hungry for a takeover. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series just gets better and better with each passing book. Her characters are hot! And yet you have no problem connecting with them, which is one of the most important thing an author needs to do. They need to make you feel something for the characters. Kudos to Charlaine in this book. This book is clever quick witted and overall a great read. Man the choices Sookie has to make, makes my choices seem dull! Okay they are dull! LO!

I am giving All Together Dead 4 stars and it falls into these reading challenges...

Living Dead in Dallas: Review

Living Dead in Dallas

(Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire Series #2)
by Charlaine Harris

Product Description:

When a vampire asks Sookie Stackhouse to use her telepathic skills to find another missing vampire, she agrees under one condition: the bloodsuckers must promise to let the humans go unharmed.

I hate to do this, because I love doing my book reviews, but I am so far behind, that I need to get caught up so I am going to make it short and sweet.

Charlaine Harris did it again, this series is awesome and I love that I read this book before the show on HBO got into this story line. It is fun to see how things differ from the show and the book.

I am giving Living Dead in Dallas 4 stars and it falls into these reading challenges...
