Summary

Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends.

Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She's afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter.

Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first.

story was a lot more relatable for me this time

she faced a lot of emotional events and his time, her two exes and the whole Debbie thing, the fire. it was very intense.
I do feel like she's so much more off of alseed than her first experience with him. not even trying to dress right for his events??

great series

great series of books with great characters. I loved the Midnight Texas series and the Sookie series is just as good but rather raunchy for tweens but fine for adults.

Very entertaining

This book is very entertaining and I could not stop until I had read the whole book. I loved the mix of characters and the plot of the book. You can listen to the book whilst basking in the sun in the park or whilst taking a walk. Absolutely beautiful.

The story that keeps surprising

Another totally absorbing story that seductively draws you into the lurid world of Ms Stackhouse. The other world is so intisingly revealed that you just cannot stop trying to take a peep.

2nd read of this series just as good on audible

I really love this series. I was disappointed with the TV series now hearing the books on audible love it. The accent and pace are perfect. Well done
