Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris

Oh, Sookie... I love the True Blood series, but the last two books have been disappointing. I started reading this early this week, but put it down to start and finish Why We Broke Up. The book wasn't bad, but it just wasn't great. I read it, but there was reluctance in picking it up. I felt almost like I did when I read Steven King novels in high school, not because I liked him, but because my friends read the books and I wanted to be able to talk to them about those things we could share.

Harris seems to include a lot of action lately, but it makes it hard for me to remember was is going on. Who does Sookie love? Is it Eric? Bill? Quinn? Sam? Who? I never can keep up. I tire of hearing how attractive Sookie is and I am also tired of the stupid Fae. Alcide is changing and I don't like that. What happened to the sexy lumberjack (okay, that's what is in my head) who drives a pick-up truck and washes dishes? *sigh* Harris, I am not your biggest fan these days. Maybe I will just watch the HBO series and skip your next novels. I doubt I'd be missing much.
