Sookie Stackhouse is still recovering from the torture she
suffered during the Faery War and she's feeling wary and
set apart from everyone and everything. She wonders why it
was Bill and not Eric who rescued her, why so many of her
family had to die in the war and what her half-nature means
for her. And even though the door is closed between her
world and the world of the Fae, there are a few remaining
on this side, and Sookie can't be sure if they're friend or
not.
Sookie can't remain in her funk for too long, though,
because things are happening in her own backyard, literally
and figuratively, that she's going to have to deal with
before they get out of hand. Most annoying is the
government agent out to dig up dirt on Sookie. Most
worrisome is the arrival of Eric's sire, Appius Livius
Ocella, bringing along Eric's "brother," Alexei Romanov.
Mix in traitors in Alcide's pack and Sookie is soon back
doing what she does best.
DEAD IN THE FAMILY is Charlaine Harris' 10th visit
to Bon Temps, Louisiana. While not as action-packed like
some of her earlier adventures, Sookie's world is always
entertaining. Ms. Harris has a gift for creating amazing
characters to interact with Sookie. Her blend of history
with the paranormal is intriguingly eccentric, as are so
many of the residents her world. DEAD IN THE FAMILY is a
welcome addition to the Sookie Stackhouse series.
The #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie
Stackhouse series- the basis for HBO(r)'s True
Blood-continues!
After enduring torture
and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Faery
War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's angry. Just about
the only bright spot in her life is the love she thinks she
feels for vampire Eric Northman. But he's under scrutiny by
the new Vampire King because of their relationship. And as
the political implications of the Shifters coming out are
beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to the Shreveport
pack draws her into the debate. Worst of all, though the
door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on
the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very,
very angry...
