Eight stars
As I keep forging deeper into this vampire series by Charmaine Harris, I find new aspects that are enjoyable. Harris keeps the reader informed about the supernatural world, adding werewolves to the already present vampires. When Sookie Stackhouse's vampire beau, Bill, has gone missing, she is concerned. However, there are some pieces of info that she has not been given, which could change things swiftly. Making her way to Mississippi for some answers, Sookie meets a new and enticing entity, who could be an effective distraction, if not solution to the Bill issue. Harris keeps the reader involved in this book worth sinking into.
Sookie and Bill have been enjoying their relationship, forgetting the gap between human and vampire. Bill has been on a mission for a while, perhaps too long. Bill's boss, Eric, who is evil and has a plan of his own for Sookie, has some ideas about Bill's location. He sends her to Mississippi to visit the Vampire King of the state and to engage with others at an underworld club, where answers emerge with ease.
While Sookie has a mission, she is lured into something steamy with a local werewolf. Sookie does all she can to get intel on Bill, but finds herself lured into something carnal. She is, after all, a hot-blooded human. Her level of guilt is low, as it seems Sookie is happy to engage in supernatural sex without worry.
When Bill is located, he has been involved in something scandalous. Having kept something from Sookie, the stakes are high and their relationship could be on the rocks. Sookie has a decision to make, one that could change things forever. Harris adds drama in just the right way to keep the reader enthused.
Vampires and supernatural beings are not my typical reading topic, but I made a promise to try a few of these novels. Charmaine Harris develops the early books in this series into something highly entertaining while presenting a
great story idea. Chapters keep things moving in a story that has a strong narrative base. All of this helps keep the reader wondering what awaits them with each turn of the page.
Charmaine Harris keeps the twists plentiful and adds a great set of plot developments. She mixes realism with some supernatural aspects that are sure to impress the curious reader. Harris knows her stuff and keeps things from being too predictable throughout. I am ready to commit to at least another book to see how things progress.
Kudos, Madam Harris, for haunting my mind with this fictional spin.
