When telepathic Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie
Stackhouse discovered her un-dead cousin Hadley had passed
in to her afterlife, it surprised her. After all, Hadley
was already dead, not to mention the favorite consort of
the Vampire Queen of New Orleans. When the queen's lawyer
unexpectedly arrives to take Sookie back to New Orleans to
deal with Hadley's estate, they discover the messenger who
was bringing news of the lawyer's arrival went missing
before she could get the message to Sookie.
Someone is working real hard to keep Sookie from going
through Hadley's possessions; even going as far as to
murder the messenger to keep Sookie from going to New
Orleans. Once at Hadley's apartment, Sookie, with help
from Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady who is also a
witch, gets ready to clean the place up when they discover
a dead were turned vampire in the closet. If that's not
enough, she still has the Pelt's dodging her every step,
trying to find out what happened to their daughter
Debbie. It's clear someone wants to stop Sookie and with
so many things going wrong, everyone's a suspect, even the
Vampire Queen herself.
DEFINITELY DEAD is the first book by Charlaine Harris I
have had the pleasure of reading. Though it is book six
in her Southern Vampire series, I had no trouble at all
getting immersed in her vividly detailed world. Ms.
Harris packs a lot into this one book which means Sookie
gets into a whole lot of trouble and keeps you engrossed
through all of it. Though there are rumours that this
book was to be the end of the series, there will be at
least one more book for which I am extremely grateful. It
would be pure torture if I had to go through life not
knowing how things went with Sookie and her newest love
interest, Quinn. I'd never be able to live through the
suspense. So for all you people out there who are worried
your favorite series is ending; quit worrying. It's not
quite over yet.
Spiked with a "frothy fusion of romance, mystery, and
fantasy" (Publishers Weekly), this "deliciously
fiendish...increasingly riotous series" (Dallas Morning
News) sends the supernaturally gifted cocktail waitress to
New Orleans, where she has to deal with the legacy of one of
her own family and a host of potentially dangerous
characters.
