From Publishers Weekly:
I loved this book, and it was a fantastic way to break the heaviness of the Tad Williams book that I had just read. I don't have a lot more to say on it - it's a brain candy book with a good plot line, good characters and just the right amounts of tension, romance and supernatural elements.
I really enjoy this series, and will continue to read it. I was a little sad for Sookie at the end of the book, but I am pretty sure that she'll bounce back. She usually does!
This book is for people aged 18+ due to the sex scene and suggested sex. Also, there's a fair amount of violence, although not a scary graphic gory kind of violence (if that makes any sense at all!). I can't wait to read the next book, and the book after that, and... well, you get it.
From Publishers Weekly:
Fans of Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake looking for a lighter version of the vampire huntress should cotton to Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic Louisiana gal who really wants to be normal, but suffers from a huge self-confidence problem, a case of permanent bad luck, difficult relatives and a penchant for attracting unsavory characters of the not-quite-human kind.
In this fourth quirky installment in this hitherto mass-market series (after 2003's Club Dead), Sookie finds that her bad luck has taken a new turn for the worse. Sookie's love interest, Bill the vampire, runs off to Peru to do research. In his place, Sookie is stuck with Eric, Bill's boss (and head vamp for the district), who appears out of thin air buck naked with no memory of who he is or what he does. Coincidentally, Sookie's brother Jason goes missing. Less coincidentally, but more ominously, a coven of witches (who also happen to be shape-shifters and vampire blood addicts) comes rolling into the nearest big city, looking for trouble. Consistent, well-built characters and a strong, action-packed plot that will keep readers guessing to the end distinguish this frothy fusion of romance, mystery and fantasy.
