Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

A Paranormal, 2003 by Orbit, 279 Pages

What I Didn’t Like:

The ending leaves way too much unresolved (and that’s coming from me). This felt like the first half of a book, you’ll want to add the next one right to your list.
The Bubba stuff was funny in book 1. By this book, it’s played out and ridiculous.
Sometimes it feels like Sookie’s telepathic powers are getting lost or underused among all these other creatures. I preferred when we were relying on them.

I actually LIKE the introduction of a new love interest sort of character in this instance. Sookie and Bill, while adorable, are obviously on completely different wavelengths in terms of experience and previous relationships. This gave her a chance to make an educated choice in her love life.
This series still does a good job of balancing the romance, the mystery, and the shock of all things undead. I find that to be a great formula for keeping you turning pages.
The little glimpse into vampire politics in this one was cool. I’d like to see more of that, which I assume we’re getting in the future books.

Fans of the series, obviously. This one has a different feel but that works for the story we’re hearing.
If you like vampires, sometimes spicy romance, and adventure you should try this series!
