True Blood book 3:- Bill is kidnapped and Eric sends Sookie and a Were called Alcide to find him. Yep, Alcide's debut in the book series. Bubba (Elvis?) is also back. This book series is lost on me as the franchise was swallowed up by the TV show before I knew these books existed.. this is why I (usually) like to read the book first. 5 out of 12.2010 read

Club Dead for me is where the Sookie Stackhouse series really starts getting its feet under it. Things are definitely not well between Sookie and her boyfriend vampire Bill, and as Sookie heads to Mississippi to track him down and rescue him from lethal peril, she is torn between the attentions of the werewolf Alcide--and way more attention than she'd like from the vampire Eric, who is growing more and more interested in her with every book. Unfortunately for Sookie's peace of mind, the interest...

*** 2.65 ***Parts of this book got me so angry, I don't even feel like writing a review... Here is a good one that reflects my feelings though... https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Going off challenge here for a little bitey reading with my girl, Kristin.... Saturday, March 7Review First things first, idiotic MC rant time! Things Sookie sucks at:- Picking men! (more on this later)- Being self-aware!- Not being a judgmental pratt- Wearing anything that’s not entirely tacky. - Appearing anything like intelligent. I didn’t mind this installment of the series, for the most part. I liked the addition of Alcide and while no one can out gun Joe M., I found his character rather en...

Annoying, boring, charmless, dumb. Since I was already on a roll of unpleasant books, I finally forced myself to read my second (her third) novel (the magazine SFX had made me import two with their misleading review).After a typical (cold, boring) interlude showing how irresistable he is (he wears flanel and has hair), vampire Bill disappears at the start of the book and readers are supposed to be stupid enough to fear for his life. Even if Sookie's feelings hadn't been so badly written, I still...

(B+) 76% | GoodNotes: Though short on substance it's a light, fun read with better drawn characters and a brisker pace than previous books.

This one wasn't as good as the previous ones, in my opinion. The plot was good, but the characters tended to be on the annoying side. There also definitely wasn't as much excitement and tension.

2019 Re-ReadJust as telepath Sookie enjoys resting her mind around Vampire Bill, whose thoughts she can’t hear, I enjoy resting myself in this series that I’ve read and enjoyed before. Although Sookie spends a lot of time in this book rescuing Bill, despite the fact that he’s a lying, two-timing vampire, I like it because she finally takes ownership of herself. She starts to realize that she’s being played: Half of me (pathetically) wanted to let him know I'd kept the faith; half of me wanted to...

"They say there's no harm in daydreaming, but there is." There's trouble in paradise when Bill Compton is ordered to take on a top secret and super time consuming project given by the vampire Queen of Louisiana, Lorena. Giving him the time and space he needs to work, Sookie Stackhouse doesn't realize her boyfriend is missing until Eric Northmen and his two most trusted co-workers, Pam and Chow, pay her a visit. They also clue her in on some other interesting information: Bill hinted to Eric a

Sookie has never been the brightest bulb in the pack, but she hits an all-time low in the intelligence department in this book. Her most grievous offence, in my eyes, is that she continues to pine for boring, bland Bill throughout this book. Bill is not only boring, but he's a cheating asshole. Why Bill is an asshole list:1. He is boring2. He has no sense of humor3. He is filthy rich and yet lets his "love" scrape and scratch to live in poverty4. Even if he wasn't rich, he never brings her flowe...

With Sookie as her mouthpiece, Charlaine Harris opened up the floor for the discussion of genre fiction in this latest installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series, because it turns out our sweet little friend Sookie proudly claims a self-education through none other than two of the least respected forms of the genre novel: romance novels and trashy mysteries. The snob in me wants to snort in disdain and feel offended for liking Sookie. But the other half, the half that isn’t afraid to admit that...

Good riddance, CHEATER! Was she worth it?Too late for your vampire tears now

The adventures continue & this one breaks from the original romance into very bizarre terrain. Still terrific enough to make me keep reading 'em.Everyone around Sookie is threatened, & she gets beat up in every single book. She endures so much and how much time has elapsed? Actually two seasons... only half a year! That she endures so much and the fact that the plot breaks at times, goes many places except where you think it will go (main characters can die within two pages, sometimes 2 paragrap...

#1 Dead Until Dark ★★★.5#2 Living Dead in Dallas ★★★★#3 Club Dead ★★★★★ “I don’t like having feelings,” Eric said coldly, and he left. That was a tough exit line to top.This is the first installment in the series where we barely spend any time with Bill at all, and this is my first 5-star rating in the series. Coincidence? I think not.I loved this one so much. I could barely put it down because I was having so much fun learning more about Sookie's world, spending time with Eric, and meeting all

Yes, I'm still reading this series. Great literature? Hell, no. An enjoyable, sort of mindless read, sure. There are parts that I find very funny, such as Sookie using her "word of the day" calendar to improve her vocabulary and the part where the Viking vampire Eric mentions that he took English as a second language in a community college course in the 70's. That sort of stuff is pretty humorous. The parts that annoy me are the writer's fashion sense. It kills me when I read her description of

❤ 4.5 Club Dead Stars ❤ Ok soo Bill and I are on the outs! I can’t help it I don’t like him with Sookie especially in this book!! I like Alcide but dude needed to get his head on straight about his ex damn women had him all tied up in knots. I love Bubba! Can you imagine (Elvis as a vampire!) Ha I am just going to say it.. I like Sookie with Erik well for right now I do, :p we will see. Over all I really enjoyed this book I didn’t find my mind a wondering and I was hanging on every word. So 5 st...

Not as fast or fun a read as the previous two books in the series. Although I'm not sure its really the book's fault. As anyone who reads multiple books at the same time can attest to, you often become more engrossed in one book and forget the other books you're reading. I also tend to read based on my mood and I'm not in a light and fun fantasy mood right now.Club Dead probably isn't any less fun a read then the first two books but my mood has changed. I've spent the last two weeks battling mig...

Terrible. Worst line:"Somehow, it had never crossed my mind—I guess since I'm an American—that the vampires who had snatched Bill might be resorting to evil means to get him to talk."Is Sookie that naive? Is Harris that naive? If only there was some irony intended here. But no, it would seem that the moral centre of these books is the concept of goodness as represented by America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, a wondrous country so tolerant that even Vampires can be accepted without di...

The Sookie Stackhouse books are definitely not great literature by any means, but they're a bit like candy--hard to stop reading and very enjoyable. This third book was more of the same, and while there were times I wanted to slap Sookie (even though she gets beat up a number of times in here...again. What's with Charlaine Harris's obsession with beating the snot out of Sookie all the time, anyway?), I really enjoyed reading this.The main thing I liked was actually the introduction of werewolves...
