Dead to the World (Original MM Art): A Sookie Stackhouse Novel (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood) Review

This is a great series of books! I enjoy reading then, but wish they would have had the TV series follow the books. There are main characters in the TV series that are not portrayed in the books like the TV series at all! Overall good reading though!

"With the sure touch of a master" (Crescent Blues), Charlaine Harris delivers "the sort of vampire thrills that make Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake novels so popular" (Locus).

Now the hit series launches into hardcover for Sookie's biggest twist-filled adventure yet.

Dead to the World (Original MM Art): A Sookie Stackhouse Novel (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood) Specifications

From Emma Bull's War for the Oaks to Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, from The X-Files to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, creators are mixing old European myths and legends with modern American pop culture. Incorporating influences ranging from blaxploitation movies and erotic novels to tabloid staples like UFOs and Elvis, authors and directors are creating a new mythology for the strip-mall, tract-house, cell-phone America of the new millennium.

One of the best-known and best writers of the new American mythology is Charlaine Harris. Dead to the World is the fourth novel in her Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series. It continues the story of psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who has fallen out with her undead lover, Bill. Bill has no sooner departed for Peru, than Sookie finds the head vampire, Eric, running naked and terrified through the rural night. She helps Eric, and discovers his memory has been destroyed by a coven of unscrupulous, astonishingly powerful witches, newly arrived in her small Louisiana town, and offering a huge reward for Eric. Sookie tries to hide Eric, but her brother sees him--and immediately disappears. And Sookie finds herself caught in a war among witches, vampires, and werewolves. --Cynthia Ward

Eric and Sookie...WOW! Everything else fell flat! - January Dockery - Georgia
This is book #4 in the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series. In this book Sookie finds herself single again and Bill is in Peru. Sookie finds Eric on the side of the road naked and his memory seems to be erased by a witches spell. Sookie's brother Jason soon after goes missing and Sookie has to find him and the witch to get the spell broken for Eric. In the meantime Sookie develops feelings for Eric and he also has feelings for her.

This book had great parts to it and then very boring parts as well! I loved every scene with Eric and Sookie in it. I love these two together! I enjoyed Bill being away (I am not a big fan of his), but other than that the book was a little disappointing. The witches weren't as interesting to me as they should have been and all the searching for Jason was boring! I skimmed a lot in this book and I don't normally do that.

I have to say the last 2 chapters were awesome and the ending was very interesting! I did enjoy this book and I will be reading the next book, I just thought this book lacked things that the last two seemed to have! I found myself wanting more scenes with her and Eric and less scenes of her hunting through the woods for her brother!

Finally!!!! - DarjeelingTea - SoCal, USA
I finally caved and ordered this to read via the iphone kindle app. So glad that I did. Finished it in 1/2 day...as I type this I just ordered book 2 to eat up.

loved it.

not as good as the 1st 3 in the series - Rebecca L. Chatfield - Columbus, OH United States
The Sookie Stackhouse books have been pretty well-written, and lots of fun so far. The things I have enjoyed the most in the series are the developing romance between Sookie and Bill, and the absolutely terrific descriptions of their encounters in bed. Forget all that in the 4th installment. The author has fallen back on those old standbys -- plot and action, and forgot to deliver the romance, and the action between the sheets.

The fast paced story is still competently written, but the effect is just to trivialize the mysterious and alluring Sookie, bringing her down to the level of every other plucky and resourceful heroine. And she has gone from fresh excitement at her discovery of sexual love, to almost-bed-hopping with every interesting superhuman who shows up. I can get plot and action and meaningless sex anywhere. Well-written, exciting love scenes are much harder to find. I have the next 5 books in the series on my shelf, ready to read. And I will read them, no matter what. But I sincerely hope that Ms. Harris has returned to the heart-wrenching, tingling love scenes between Bill and Sookie. Othewise I'm back to my search for well-written love and romance.

Guilty pleasure - Sara A. Pauff -
** spoiler alert ** Eric loses his memory, prompting some very Twilight-esque moments and badly-written love scenes between him and Sookie. Lots of scoffing and eye-rolling on my part, but I can't say I wasn't entertained.
