I’ve read through a lot of heated discussion boards that debate “Who will Sookie end up with,” and/or “Who is best for her.” In most cases those two generally don’t mix. I often find that the “cards” are stacked against logic, but I can’t help but try to sift through the nonsense to appease my need to feel captivated by the heroine’s romantic destiny. Yes, I’m a sap! Sue me!

For the record, I haven’t read beyond the 4th book in the series (though I have obsessively scowered the web for spoilers/synopsis, etc.) At this point, I feel I have a decent grasp of Charlaine Harris’s...

Snarky Sookie is back! In the eleventh book of the Southern Vampire Mysteries series, Dead Reckoning, heroine Sookie Stackhouse seems to have come through events both horrible and bewildering to a place where she’s still the kind, Southern lady we first met but with an edge and an inner strength that are new. Her quirky sense of humor reflects that with snarkiness that would make Pam proud. Unlike True Blood, the books upon which the TV series is based are told in the first person, from Sookie’s point of view, so the reader is constantly in her head. That’s been painful in the past as...

hello, thank you for clicking on this article by me: Sookie_Loves_Bill. I just wanted to say that the 9th book in the Sookie Stackhouse novels came out two days ago: May 5th 2009! I now own it, and I am pleased to say that it is worth waiting for in either paperback or hard cover in ur home town it it is not out yet...Mine is in hard cover...but that is not the point... I just wanted to say that PLZ PLZ PLZ don't post each chapter here or on any other spot that belongs to anything related or non related to True Blood or Sookie Stackhouse...cause ONE-That ruins the excitement for the eager readers...TWO-It...

Club Dead-Discovery- The tables start to turn in the third book and the dynamics between Bill-Sookie-Eric are really established more clearly. Within the first few chapters Sookie is informed of Bill’s deceit, his “affair” with Lorena, and his kidnapping. She feels betrayed but on Eric’s insistence agrees to help track him down. While, Eric doesn’t hide the fact that he “wants to f**k her,” the main reason he didn’t want to be the one to relay the news of Bill’s infidelity to her was that “he had always been quite fond of her.” He also remarked, “kissing her was very...

Dead to the World-Unguarded Affection

The fourth book is a pivotal and paramount book in the series in terms of Eric & Sookie. In the 1st chapter Bill confronts Sookie. He tried to explain but the bottomline was that he lied, raped and nearly killed her in the trunk. He wasn't the "great-guy" or "knight in shining armor" that she had built him up to be. And, to confuse her even more, let's just say Eric--the guy she had always thought to be the exact opposite--was turning out to be well...different.
When she picked him up on the side of the road and decidedly risked her life to help him...
