Sookie Stackhouse 03 - Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

Hey know how to make a great cocktai in Club Dead - a twist of lemon, a dash of pepper and a shot of Blood Group O. There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with (at least voluntarily) and that's Bill. But recently he's been kind of distant - like in another state distant. Bill's sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him, which is why Sookie ends up in Jackson, Mississippi, mingling with the under-underworld at Club Dead. It's a dangerous little haunt where the elitist vamps can go chill and chow on some prime flesh. But when Sookie finally finds Bill - caught in an act of serious betrayal - she's not sure whether to save him, or sharpen some stakes

These books are no literary masterpiece but i am hooked. For the simple reason that i have something to read at work - Thank you Charlaine Harris.

The characters seem to grow a lil in depth in each book and its not a simple one man-one woman story. Sookie does seem to have quite a fan following, if you can use that word for everyone who wants to sleep with her.

Sookie has grown in these three books. She's evaluating her life on normal terms. She wants someone she can wake up with and spend the day normally with. She's evaluating the men in her life by their ability to be good husbands - in bed and other ways. Its like she's kissing a lot of toads to see who the prince turns out to be, only the kissing isn't all that innocent:)

She does get beat up a lot in these books doesn't she. I mean really hammered. She's either kissing some supernatural thing or she's getting beaten up.

I love that Eric seems to be becoming a bigger character in the books. I really hope she does away with Bill for good, who i was very happy didn't feature a lot in the book. But that probably won't happen completely. And he still has to explain all the cheating, which should happen in the next book.

I'm also happy the whole "She is mine" thing figured only once in this book - it is really annoying.

Oh Hell, on to the next one.
