Things are heating up!! Sookie’s world is definitely spinning out of control ever since she became entangled with Bill and the other Vampires. As the journey continues, Sookie begins to discover and uncover more about her will and level of endurance. The author has definitely changed my view of Eric. I like him more than Bill because there is no pretense about him whatsoever. Book 3 is filled with detail and connected dots that I did not get from the tv series. I’m looking forward to more in the stackhouse series.

Two words Alcide Herveaux.

Long before the True Blood show, and the wonderfully delicious Joe who plays Alcide, I read about him in his first appearance in this book. I quickly fell in love, and lust, with him that still hasn't subsided to this day. Yum.

Ahem, back to the subject at hand. I really enjoyed this book as well in this series. There's a lot of mystery involved in the who, what, when, why, and how's of Bill's kidnap/disappearance. It added a nice edge to the story line I think to shake up Sookie and Bill's relationship together.

Also, I'm glad Were's and shifters are finally introduced to the story in a more official and permanent way. Gives a lot of opportunity for future conflict in the series.

Loved this book too, and definitely makes you want to keep reading to see what else is going to happen in Sookie's life.
I bought the first 5 books in this series because I was a fan of the HBO show Trueblood. I was curious to see how closely the books followed the show. I can say that there are times when I can visual the show while I read these books. This is book 1 and I am on book 3 right now. Most of this first book was in season 1 of Trueblood, with a couple of very significant differences which I won't mention in case you've not seen the show. I like the characters a little better in the book - Sookie seems more decisive, Sam comes across as sexier, Bill less sexy and colder and more vampire like, and Eric his sexy self, interested in Sookie, but not figuring very largely in the story in this first book. But I think the show's Eric may have been given a bigger role as time went on because he was so popular (Eric was my fave vamp on the show). This will feel like old ground if you've seen the first season of Trueblood but I still enjoyed it. It's an easy read and you can finish the book in a couple of days, even just reading at night like I do.
I found Sookie absolutely irritating and stupid beyond belief in this book. Her willingness to save Bill after such betrayal is just staggering to me. What he does to her at the end is absolutely reprehensible, yet she makes an excuse for him and lets it fly by. What a moron! Since when is she so super hot? I hate when characters become desirable to anyone in the book. That's not realistic. The vampires make sense because of her blood, but no one else should be drooling like they do. Sookie was stupid not to hook up with Alcide when she had the chance. He was stupid to hook up with Debbie. His sister must be stupid because she seems pretty clueless. Sookie has become a hypocrite. She puts down fangbangers, calling them pathetic because they have become addicted to sex with a vampire. Yet Bill can violate her in multiple ways and she still craves him as much as fangbanger would. In the first book, she whines about how she will never be able to cook breakfast for Bill. But she does this for Alcide, an attractive human man, someone she can comfortably date even with her "disability", and she still obsesses over Bill. The plot and action of this book were good, but I really didn't like Sookie in this one at all. I am actually surprised this book is rated so highly to be honest.

Club Dead marks a big change for the Sookie Stackhouse series, one that I didn't really notice in my first reading. In the first two novels, there's a big focus on Sookie's romantic life; vampires are still there, but they hang around more like ghastly Christmas ornaments in the background instead of playing a big role. Club Dead changes all of that.

Sookie's relationship with Bill is on the rocks from the first page...well, the first line. "Bill was hunched over his computer when I let myself in his house." In the other books, Sookie and Bill have this vibrant connection; one could cut the sexual tension with a fang. Harris immediately sets a different tone with these thirteen words the honeymoon is over.

Sookie's world changes so much when Bill enters the picture that it's hard to remember that she is so inexperienced when it comes to love. Bill's aloofness (and subsequent problems throughout Club Dead) change Sookie's perception of not only him, but herself and men in general quite a bit. In short, Sookie's growing pains make the story. It's her transformation and development as a character that makes Club Dead stand from the others.

New supernatural creatures are starting to rear their heads in Bon Temps, and I personally loved the different vibe of the werewolves. Vampires retain a different set of human characteristics than the weres do. Seeing the animalistic nature set against the cold and conniving vampires opens up not only a new debate for Sookie, but for me as a reader.

I loved this installment of the Sookie series. Harris is opening so many doors for all of the characters, not only Sookie. My only complaint is Harris's writing tended to drop off a little more in Club Dead; instead of the wry humor and sarcasm I fell in love with in the first book, there's more of a straight, flat narrator. I miss the quirkiness of Sookie's first person POV.

THE RATING
FOUR STARS

WHY
- awesome character development
- Sookie's personal life transitions connected well with the plot
- only downside writing fell off from the previous books
