About this eBook

Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, psychic Sookie Stackhouse learns that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series—the inspiration for the HBO® original series True Blood.

With her knack for being in trouble’s way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte’s, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but her attention is divided when she realizes that her lover, Eric Northman, and his “child” Pam are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, Sookie is drawn into the plot—which is much more complicated than she knows...

Ratings and reviews

What a thrilling ride. This was an incredible story. There is so much packed into this story. So much action and intrigue. I loved it. The changes that Sookie has to go through are mighty but I know she can do it. I love watching the characters come together to get stuff done. Some of the revelations really hit the heart. Such a great story.

I love Sookie, I love how she thinks, how she reacts and how she struggles. Her reality is sometimes horrific and she still caries herself with southern charm. Eric is one of my favorite vampires but he is turning in another direction in this story.I am not sure where it will lead him. Bill, (ick) is still hanging in the shadows creeping me out.( can't somebody stake him already) Sam, sweet lovable Sam is dating Cujo, run Sam. LOL We don't see much of the no-supe people of Bon Temps in this addition. I think they are all recovering still. Anyway, Somebody is out to get my girl Sookie and they are not playing nice at all. At the same time Victor is beating down Eric and his people. Anyone Eric cares about is fair game to him, this man gets real nasty. Things escalate all all fronts people die, and secrets are reveled that will change everything. EXCITING !

I read these books in about 2 days. I thought this one was even better than the previous one. I was fortunate to have been able to read this series one after the other since I just discovered them this year. I can't imagine waiting a year for each new release! Looking forward to Deadlocked. I am hooked!
