Eight stars
Charmaine Harris has not stopped developing her supernatural series, keeping me intrigued the more I read. Harris knows how to present an addictive story and links each novel into the next, providing something well worth the reader's time, provided they can stomach some of the cheesier romance moments. Sookie must head to New Orleans to settle her cousin's estate. It is there that she meets a new changeling and engages in quite the adventure. Harris provides a great story and wonderful characters to keep things moving.
Sookie Stackhouse has so few living relatives, having lost a few along the way, When news comes that her cousin Hadley, consort of the vampire Queen of Louisiana has died and left everything to Sookie, panic sets in. While the living world find probating an estate tedious and simple, the undead version is anything but straightforward, as Sookie is soon to discover.
When Sookie arrives in New Orleans, she begins to process things, soon meeting a fairy godmother of sorts. Together, they will have to sift through all of Hadley's belongings, where they discover some secrets that could change things in the undead word. Working together, they will try to get things done and head back to New Orleans, though a call from the queen Vampire of Louisiana will force Sookie to make an unplanned diversion. Now, it will take all in her power to weather the storm and hope to return to Bon Temps alive. Harris keeps Sookie on her toes in this piece, which advances the series effectively.
While I have never been overly excited by the supernatural world, Charlaine Harris makes it a. place world exploring. Harris uses strong narrative tool to keep the story moving and provides me with something well worth my time. With keen discussions about the undead, changelings, and all things supernatural, Harris spins a series that is sure to impress and entertain. I quite enjoy the novel's pacing, even with the romantic and carnal aspects that I skipped around to find something heartier.
Charmaine Harris uses varied characters to flavour the narrative, showing off unique and intriguing people worthy of development. Harris keeps them in their respective spheres and permits a strong story to keep them all pushing forward in their own ways. Plot development is key, keeping things moving and prevents any stagnancy, which one might think the undead could not help but foster. Twists and turns throughout allow the reader to learn more about Sookie, her choices, and the progression of things in and around Louisiana, which has proven to be an ideal setting,. I am eager to see how things will progress, as I keep reading and hoping for more excitement.
Kudos, Madam Harris, for a great series I have come to respect!
