The author doesn't know her own characters and I am just amazed these books are not proofed prior to publication.

This time, the errors are absolutely ridiculous. I have loved every other installment in the Sookie series, inconsistencies and all. I honestly wish I could have my money back. I am so disapointed I don't even know where to begin. Listening is the only way I read any more, and I have probably become one of Audible's best customers. Thanks to Charlaine Harris for a truly inventive series and to Audible for bringing the books to me. The narrator is fabulous and really brings the characters to life.

Sookie's great grandfather doesn't specify which vampire he thinks is a good man and truly loves Sookie, but after all, Sookie is going to have to make up her own mine, isn't she? I find myself hoping that she and Eric realize that they are in love, and even that somehow Sookie could have his baby - after all, there is magic involved in the whole series, and clearly Sookie has something special that we are yet to learn. One of the reviewers said this one ends in a cliffhanger and I don't see it that way at all. It's been interesting to see the progression of their relationship with each other.

Sookie has a unique voice and is quite charming and brave and funny. I've listened to the whole series twice and to this last one three or four times. But I've become totally addicted to Sookie Stackhouse's story and I'm a sucker for a good love story. I read halfway through one of Anne Rice's books and couldn't finish it. I've never considered myself a huge vampire fan. I had fallen in love with the show on CBS, Moonlight, and was extremely disappointed when it got canceled and probably felt some sour grapes about the advent of True Blood. I thought there was too much gratuitous sex and also was underwhelmed by Bill Compton. I had debated listening to them as I had watched Season one of True Blood and wasn't at all enthralled with it. I reluctantly started listening to these books after Audible had some of them on sale.
