Publisher Description
Supernaturally gifted waitress Sookie Stackhouse is pitted against the legacy of her own undead bloodline in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series—the inspiration for the HBO® original series True Blood.
Since Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse has so few living relatives, she hates to lose one—even her cousin Hadley, undead consort of the vampire queen of New Orleans. Hadley’s left everything she had to Sookie, but claiming that inheritance has a high risk factor. Some people don’t want her looking too deeply into Hadley’s past or Hadley’s possessions. And they’re prepared to do anything in their power to stop her...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In bestseller Harris's perky sixth Southern Vampire novel to star Sookie Stackhouse (after 2005's Dead as a Doornail), the telepathic waitress of Bon Temps, La., is off to (pre-hurricane) New Orleans to close out her dead cousin Hadley's apartment. Hadley's death six weeks earlier had been unexpected, since, as a vampire, she was already dead. Still, she'd led a lively existence as the main squeeze of the Queen of Louisiana, an omnisexual vampire, whose political marriage to the King of Arkansas occurred the night before Hadley's demise. Sookie and Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady and a pretty cool witch, immediately discover a mess of trouble left behind in Hadley's closet, and Sookie's soon neck-deep in even more. Though most of the intrigue doesn't come till halfway through, Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets. Alan Ball, the creator of HBO's Six Feet Under, plans to shoot a TV pilot based on the series later this year. 12-city author tour.
Customer Reviews
LOVE!
Quinn is a sexy beast (in more ways than one). Can't wait to hear more about him!
Overall pretty good,
but there Charlaine Harris has an annoying habit of changing previous facts and names of characters. A few to note is Catfish Hennessey is now Catfish Hunter (dumb), Alcide’s sister went from Janice to Janet, and she changed Debbie pelt from a Were-Lynx to a Were-Fox… Does she not read her own books? Why the random change? I fear i’ll never get answers.
This series of books are like my junk food soap opera binge series, I listen and read them because they’re easy to get through and pretty fun, not because they’re any sort of deep or meaningful. 8/10 i’ll keep reading them lol
Not a favorite
Not my favorite so far in the series! I can see why this plot was left out of True Blood.
