Summary: Too Annoying and Cutesy
Review: When vampire Bill Compton goes missing, telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse goes searching for him in Jackson, Mississippi. Sookie is still too annoying and cutesy for my liking. (C+)

Summary: Southern Vampire Mysteries
Review: I have read ALL of The Southern Vampire Chronicles, and have passed them along to family and friends to also enjoy.
I love the way C.H. keeps you interested and carries the reader along for each fun filled episode. I really hope she keeps us on this ride into laughter and adventure for a long time.

Summary: Shephard of Judea, this is a good read!
Review: This series has grown on me, book after book, and hats off to Ms. Harris for really shaking things up in the Bill/Sookie romance. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, but wondered how many more times the author would re-tread the relationship, when BANG! she has Bill do the unthinkable! I do like Bill, but bravo to Ms. Harris for creating such other delectable alternatives for Sookie, namely Eric and Alcine the werewolf. Yum!

The plot was zippy and twisty, though Sookie got pummeled into the dirt one time too many. Not a big fan of the resolution, but boy did I have fun getting there. Running to the store now to get Dead to the World...can't wait!

Summary: If you're in love with Bill, this will leave you heartbroken
Review: Sookie Stackhouse returns again in Charlaine Harris' third installment of the Sookie Stackhouse Vampire Mystery. This time, she goes to Jackson, Mississipi to locate missing boyfriend, vampire Bill Compton.

I have to say, I had mixed feeling for this book because I feel it was too soon for Sookie and Bill to hit such a major bump in their relationship. As people here have written that they didn't understand of Bill leaving Sookie, I quite understood it but I must say that this could've been explored some more. But aside from that, Sookie's own unfaithfulness to Bill is really getting to me >:(

On the other hand, the book is really good if you don't mind the pace Sookie's relationship is currently going. It still has the same suspense that the first two books did, and Sookie still gets battered at one point or another.

I can't wait for the next installment. I think the feeling of being incomplete at the end of the novel is how Charlaine Harris wanted us to react so we're gonna be running down to the shops to see what happens next. :)

Summary: Not up to par with the first two, but still great...
Review: Sookie Stackhouse and her bloodsucking buddies are back, but this time things take an unexpected spin in Sookie's personal life. Bill has been kidnapped somewhere in Jackson, Mississippi, and Sookie and Eric, with the help of a werewolf, drive there to try to get information out of the local vampires. What makes things worse for Sookie is that she has to nurse her broken heart as she keeps an eye on the locals, for Bill had been having an affair with a female vampire before he was captured. Rescuing Bill without getting caught will be tricky, and to make matters worse, killer werewolves are after Sookie, Eric is hitting on her, and Bill has a lot of explaining to do. There are various twists throughout the novel.

This novel isn't as good as the previous two in the sense that the mysteries are resolved in a way that seemed far too easy. Sookie went through too many things to get Bill -- the ending seemed rushed with a too simplistic solution. Sookie put up with a lot of violence and assaults in this installment. No one would get out alive from all those things in real life, but, of course, the vampires always save her life. Vampire powers are indeed convenient in these sorts of books. The best thing about this book is Eric. He is one sexy vampire and I hope that he and Sookie get together. I also liked Bubba. He and Eric always make me laugh. I like Bill, but he behaved appallingly in this book. I do hope Sookie decides to give up on him altogether. All in all, Club Dead isn't the best part of the series. I loved it nevertheless. I cannot wait to read Dead to the World, for I've been told that it is the best installment in the series. Give this a whirl, but don't be surprised if this one's your least favorite.
