Helpful Score: 3

Let me start by saying that I LOVE the Sookie Stackhouse series. I preordered this book in February, and I reread all nine books in the series in April in excited anticipation of the arrival of this book. Unfortunately, I have to agree with many of the other reviews of this book, it really fell short of expectations. I still enjoyed reading it and blew through all 300+ pages in just over a day, however, it didn't have the same passion and suspense of the other books, it felt like there was barely a plot at all. Also, the characters (besides Sookie) that make the series so interesting, Eric, Sam, Pam, Jason, etc, were barely present at all. I did like the fact that Hunter had a larger part in the book, I am hoping she will contiune to include him in future books. All-in-all, I would have to say that this is not one of the better books in the series, but it is still worth reading if you are interested in a continuation of the lives of the characters in the series. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is a mediocre prequel to a fantastic eleventh book!
