This is number five in the series of Sookie Stackhouse books, from which the True Blood series on HBO is based. I found it to be consistently interesting, creative, well written, appropriately funny and well defined in the manner of time so that it is easy and pleasant to follow. The characters have been written as so that they are easy to place visually in the mind's eye, as well as their association to the locations and to the other characters. I found this book to be a great pleasure to read and found myself quite looking forward to the next book in the series. The story line was quickly paced but not overwhelmingly so. I felt in reading this to be caught up in the plot and twists without finding parts to be boring or too predictable. For a series of books, to be able to keep a reader anticipating more even up to the fifth in the series translates an excellent written piece of work.Read full review
This is the Charlaine Harris series that inspired HBO's True Blood. Based in the small town or Bon Temps, Louisiana; the series is narrated by Sookie Stackhouse. The books tell her story of discovering not only herself but the supernatural world around her. Charlaine Harris creates her own world of Vampires, Shapeshifters, Faeries and Folklore. HBO's series only begins to touch the magic created by Charlaine Harris. In this installment Sookie deals with Jason's new identity and a sniper whose targeting Weres.
**SLIGHT SPOILER** Doornail is a wonderful read (maybe not as great as previous editions - I like more sex, but definitely worth the read). Sorry to see Al & Sookie at odds, was really hoping they'd eventually hook-up...ah well, there's still time. Speaking of hooking-up...Eric ??? :( I'm onto the next book now (#6) & just saw that book #9 has just come out! YEA!
