Dead in the Family

I really liked the last lines of the book - something like "I was with family. I was with blood." This book was the last one for a while, as far as I know. I thought it was a fun book, but I am glad to have a break from the series. As you know, from reading my posts, I have been reading about the incidents in Bon Temps for the last several months. I like the books well enough, but I am ready to read about something else, excited I have the chance to read something new.

In the book, Sookie and Eric are still together. There is trouble in the pack and there is still trouble in the ranks of the vampires. Nothing is coming to a resolution, so I see this series stretching out a bit longer than it needs to. I'll keep reading, though.

Stop Dressing your Six-Year-Old Like a Skank and Other Words of Delicate Southern Wisdom

I finished this book several weeks ago. I think the great thing about Celia Rivenbark's books is that you can read a little bit at a time. It is easy to read for five minutes, have a laugh, and then go on. When you come back, you have those few moments. Though I don't relate with this book as much as her previous book, mostly because she focuses so heavily on her child, I did find it funny and clever. I like what I read. I plan to read her other book and I hope to find more books that I can read in the five minutes between patients or when I am not with my animals at home.

My recommendation: Read this book for a dose of humor instead of eating your chocolates and taking that wind down.

From Dead to Worse

The fae are really introduced in this novel. I am not super excited with the addition of fairies in Bon Temps. The weres are in a war in this book and Alcide enters briefly. Sookie's relationship changes again. This was better than the last book, and it really starts to get interesting when she and her newest suitor start talking. Another fun part of the book is the introduction of Sookie to a new family member. This was a good book.

All Together Dead

I finished this book a while ago. What I really remember is that there was a summit. The fellowship had infiltrated the summit, blew up the hotel where everyone was staying. Sookie saved almost everyone. It was okay, but not a super exciting book.
