Dead in the Family: A Sookie Stackhouse Novel


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...


I would say that Charlaine wasn't joking when she said the title for this book was very apt. It is all about family. Blood families and packs alike. I liked how each corner of the Sookieverse gets a look in, and something about that family is developed - the humans, the fairies, the weres and the vampire families all get story time.

I've got to admit I don't read the books, I watch the TV series. And as I know there are some big differences that keep getting biggers, I prefer not to compare and enjoy one for itself.

Hum... I liked True blood, season 1 and season 2... But i don't like Sookie!!! She's so... so... stupid and unuseful... I prefer Eric!!

But... I don't know the book.
