highly recommended

Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse must now not only deal with a possible new man in her life-the oh-so-handsome shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with a long-planned vampire summit. With her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans, the local vampire queen is vulnerable to those hungry for a takeover. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

Altogether Dead

Love this heroine, Love this series! Yea Charlaine Harris! I recommend this series to all my friends!

Another Great Installment

This book is action packed, and I highly recommend. It has to be paired with the next book in this series, the eighth book. I would consider books 7 & 8 together, to get the complete story. The 7th book is just a launching pad to the 8th book. So, as you finish book 7, have the next book on hand, ready to go!

Now, in book 7, we are introduced to Vin Diesel, oh, sorry, I mean the wer-tiger Quinn. He's great, but in comparison to the Vamps, his character just doesn't hold up. By book 8, he is gone.

Other sideline love interests get wrapped up as well, pretty much leaving things up to Bill and Eric.

Eric's character develops quite a bit in these two books, and he becomes much more likable and relatable. Sookie becomes more attached to him, for both physical and emotional reasons. He is a contender for Sookie's heart.

Bill, Bill, Bill. What can I say? He is a lout, and more of his mistakes become known. He mopes around quite a bit. Still, I think we all know that Sookie and Bill ultimately belong together. Hopefully, in the future, Bill will actively try to win Sookie's forgiveness, rather than passively watching from the shadows.

After all the action in books 7 and 8, Sookie's character grows up a bit, and she realizes that she is capable of doing things she never thought she would. In view of her own compromised morals, her anger towards Bill softens by the end of book 8. And, Bill finally seems to be ready to fight for Sookie's love. I have to say, Bill's moping around was getting a little old!

Hopefully, Ms. Harris will write the next book SOON. 2009? Please? The 8th book kinda wraps things up, leaving the reader at a comfortable place.

A new Vampire regime is in place, along with a reorganized wer-pack, and the horizon is wide open for all sorts of new Sookie adventures.

Best of the series

Now that I've read the whole series, this one is my favorite in the series. You get to see Sookie's personality develop, as well as alot of other characters including Quinn. The tempo of the book is different then the other books because most of it isn't set in Bon Temps. Most of it takes place at a vampire confrance, with lost of vampire politics, and "supes" interaction. It never stops! You're either learning about the supernatural community, or Sookie's life is in danger, either way, I was engrossed.
If you like this series, this book won't disappoint. If you haven't read the first 6 books Ms Harris does a really good job or "recapping" what you need to know about the first books without making it boring for those that have.

What an action packed climatic ending

This book was jammed packed full of action and we learn some new things about the vampires (like about Pam's past, Eric's present feelings etc.

A good portion of the book takes place at the Vampire Summit and we are introduced to a whole new group of vampires, including the "royals" and get to see some old friends. We also learn more about the vampire politics and get to hear how the aftermath of Katrina affected that community.

Sookie's love interst is Quinn, the well-respected, tough weretiger who is there to coordinate the event and that heats up a bit. Meanwhile, her tie to Eric is strengthened. The only other telpath that Sookie knows, Barry, is also there and it's fun to see them interact in their heads. We also see a "were" turned vamp named Jake. That's an intersting storyline.

Lots of action in this one. Vampires against other vamps and we also hear from the Fellowship of the Sun again. The cover of the book is so appropriate and it's a fun journey to see you take there. Other than book 4 in this series (which is hands down my favorite), it's hard to pick which ones I like best, but I certainly enjoyed this one ALOT.

I actaully liked this book

This is the best book of the series. Sookie is stronger and the rest of the characters are more developed. The plot and writing are weak, but not as bad as in previous books.
