Book Review: Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris

Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, #9)



Here's the description taken from goodreads.com:

Except for Sookie Stackhouse, folks in Bon Temps, Louisiana, know little about vamps-and nothing about weres.

Until now. The weres and shifters have finally decided to reveal their existence to the ordinary world. At first all goes well. Then the mutilated body of a were-panther is found near the bar where Sookie works-and she feels compelled to discover who, human or otherwise, did it.

But there's a far greater danger threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings-older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves-is preparing for war. And Sookie finds herself an all-too human pawn in their battle.


I've listened to most of the Sookie Stackhouse books on my mp3 player and this was by far the most suspenseful. I really enjoyed this book and couldn't believe what some of the characters do to other people. These Sookie books are my guilty pleasure, I must say, since they can be a bit racy and graphic at times but I just can't help but love Sookie and her friends, vampire or otherwise. There are twists and turns in this book and you will be shocked by some of it! But it was a great "read". Sookie does face something she's never had to before and it's not surprising that she handles it as well as anyone could expect. Also I'm getting a little worried that, after two characters die while pregnant, no baby will ever be born in the series. We can only hope for the best for Tara and JB. 

4/5 Stars
