One of the best in the series
I have just read this book in the space of a day and it was one of my favourites so far. I loved the love triangle stuff (or should that be love square?! Quinn, Eric & Bill too!) and it was good to take the action away from Bon Temps for a while (there is only so much that can happen in such a small town, surely!). My only problem with the book was that I didn't want it to end - I wanted to find out more of the aftermath of the events in this book, which means that I'll have to wait until I get my copy of the next one! I definitely reccomend this to anyone who likes this genre, so if you haven't started reading the Sookie books yet, what are you waiting for..?

Best one yet for me
Sookie is one of my favourite heroines now but at the start of the series I found her a tad irritating. As the books have progressed I think that the author has developed her main character beautifully without the incredible and implausible leaps from their core personality that other authors in the genre seem to do. Sookies love interests are developing well, enough variety and conflict to be interesting without detracting from the plot line- I think that this and the previous book are winners for me precisely because Sookie's meetings/workings with the supernatural are now the norm for her and for the reader therefore the focus is upon the inner workings of that alternate world rather than her wide eyed wonder at all she sees, big score for me all round.

Book Synopsis
Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has her hands full dealing with every sort of undead and paranormal creature imaginable. And after being betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Sookie must not only deal with a new man in her life-the shapeshifter Quinn-but also contend with the long-planned vampire summit.

The summit is a tense situation. The vampire queen of Louisiana is in a precarious position, her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans. And there are some vamps who would like to finish what nature started. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.
