southern vampire series - dead to the world

Poor Sookie. I don't think any more can be said beyond that.

It's a New Year and Sookie is going to stay out of trouble this year. At least that is what she thinks, but of course it comes walking down the road. Literally, Eric has been cursed and has no clue who he is.

So, once again Sookie finds herself right in the middle of vampire business, again.Once she gets Eric to her house she calls Pam. Before Pam shows up Jason, Sookie's brother shows up. Sookie sends him for some True Blood and cloths for Eric. Not long after Pam shows up and explains what has happened. Durring the explanation Jason shows up. The consensus is that Eric is safer at Sookies house then anywhere the vampires could keep him. Jason brings up the idea that Sookie should be paid for her "babysitting" of Eric. A number is settled on and everyone goes their separate ways leaving Eric with Sookie.

As if having a vampire hidden under her roof Jason disappears the next day without a trace. Worried about her brother and the cursed vampire sleeping in her house Sookie heads to Shrieveport. She is off to do some research on the witches.

Fangtasia is a mess when she gets there. The witches were there in an attempt to find Eric. They left one human worker seriously injured and another dead. After calling the police and slipping out before they got there, Sookie went to find Alcide and together they go to inform the packmaster of the problems. This turns out to be a lucky alliance in the end.

Sookie is concerned about Eric being left for too long at her house. She is also concerned about her missing brother, hoping there is no connection between the witches and his disappearance. In all of this worry Sookie is drawn to Eric.Without his memories Eric is a much different person and Sookie gives into her desires and the desires that Eric has had since they meet are fulfilled. However, in the end he remembers nothing that happens durring his time of amnesia.

The Shrieveport Were Pack join with a good Wiccan group and the Fangtasia vampires to take down the evil witches. Bubba and Bill show up just in time to lend a hand. The unlikely group come out successful and relatively unscathed. The witch who cast the spell on Eric is kept alive in order to reverse the spell.

Through all of this Jason has remained missing, adding to the pain and frustration of Sookie. With the help of Sam, Sookie puts the pieces together and the two of them go off to save Jason. Jason had been captured out of jealousy and tortured by a were panther. Once Sam and Sookie got Jason back to Sookies' they find a check had been left for Sookie in payment for keeping Eric safe.

After Jason sleeps they come up with a plan of explaining his disappearance. But Jason has bigger worries, his torture at that hands of the were panther might have left him a supernatural.

What more can happen to this unlikely group of vampires, weres of various kinds and Sookie?

southern vampire series - club dead

I couldn't believe how short this book was. By far the shortest of the first three Southern Vampire Series. But I think it was also my favorite so far.

Once again, trouble finds Sookie. Honestly, at this point, what would you expect. This time Bill got involved in a secret project that took him deeper into trouble then he could have ever expected, and, of course it it up to Sookie to get him out of trouble. 

With the help of Alcede, a werewolf that is in debt to Eric, Sookie goes to Mississippi to find Bill. As usual nothing goes as planed and everything falls apart leaving Sookie in trouble. Luckily Eric, who is obsessed with Sookie, is there to lend a hand. 

On Alcede and Sookies second outing to the local "supernatural" bar things go from bad to worse. Since it is a full moon Alcede transforms when the stress gets too much. Once again Sookie saves vampires from Steve Newlin and the Anti-vampire Church, but not before Sookie is injured. Eric and Sookie find themselves in the King of Missisippi's mansion after Sookie was injured. While there Sookie is healed, but things get a little seamy with Eric. 

From information that Sookie had been able to gather before she was injured she knew that Bill was being tortured and held captive at the mansion. Bubba, a vampire with interesting origans that has been sent by either Bill or Eric to protect Sookie from time to time, helped to find where Bill was being held. Eric left a car for her as close to the garage he was being held as he was able to, but the rest was left up to her. Sookie has also been healed by Erics ancient blood, which gave her extra strength and abilities. 

After a bit of a struggle, Sookie saves Bill, but her troubles are long from over. Although everyone is saved, no one is really safe, or the same after the experiences. Alcede is in trouble with the local pack along with falling for Sookie. Bill is in more trouble then he could realize with Sookie. Eric knows that he is falling for Sookie more and more. Sookie is angry at Bill, confused about Eric and falling for Alcede. Everything is one big tangled mess. 

Eric ends up taking Sookie home leaving Bill to fend for himself. On the way they run into some trouble with guys sent from the pack, but nothing that they can't handle. Sookie finally breaks down and spills a lot of her frustrations about Bill and her relationship to Eric. 

In the end Sookie resends the invitation to her house from both Eric and Bill. The ironic part of this is that the secret project that got Bill into all this trouble was still in her house. A project that both Bill and Eric want and neither can get. 

What more can happen to Sookie? The poor girl.
