Summary: Sookie's back and better than ever!
Review: Sookie Stackhouse's new adventure is her best yet. Her vampire boyfriend Bill is doing a secret job for the queen vampire of Louisiana. While on the job, he is lured to Jackson, Mississippi by an old flame-a vampire named Lorena. But Lorena betrays him, and Bill is kidnapped. Russell Edgington, the vampire king of Mississippi, is holding him prisoner and torturing him for his secrets. They will do anything to make him talk, including threatening Sookie, and they send a werewolf to get her.

Never one to wait for danger, Sookie takes off to Jackson. Her mission is to find Bill at all costs. She takes up with a werewolf named Alcide that owes Eric-Bill's boss-a favor. Her only clue to finding Bill is a local bar that caters to the supernatural called Club Dead. It's at Club Dead that all Hell breaks loose, and Sookie's already crazy life spins out of control. In her quest to save Bill, she is stalked, attacked, beaten, and staked. She must also face the king, but even worse, she must face Lorena. No matter, she will do what she must to save her man-even if he's technically already dead.
This is the third in Ms. Harris' series about a telepathic barmaid with a vampire boyfriend. And it is the best. This book has more everything: more vampires, more werewolves, more shape-shifters, more supernatural adventure, more mystery, more romance, more eroticism, and more humor. Club Dead has it all. Let's hope there will be a fourth installment in this unique series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than book two ...
Review: Sookie Stackhouse was only interested in one vampire and that was Bill, her boyfriend. However, Bill seemed to be putting some distance between them recently. Then he disappeared to another state! His sinister and sexy boss, Eric, said that Bill had been summoned to Mississippi by Lorena. She was a lady vampire Bill had lived with for some time before. That was enough for Sookie. She was on the way to Mississippi.

Alcide Herveaux was to be Sookie's contact/guide. He was a werewolf. With his help, Sookie could enter places that mere mortals seldom dared tread, such as Club Dead. The vampire king of Mississippi (yes, readers, you read that correctly) was Russell Edgington. Russell took interest in Sookie very quickly. Eric arrived on the scene, in disguise as usual. Several attempts were made on Sookie's life and Bill was caught in an act of serious betrayal against Sookie's love. Sookie was not sure whether to save Bill or sharpen a few stakes of her own!

***** Much better than book two. Again, this mystery could be read as a "stand alone" book. But the main and secondary characters remain the same. The love triangle between Sookie, Bill, and Eric gets much rougher. That triangle is enjoyed more by those who have read the first two previous books though.

This entire series, thus far, is humorous, fun, very sexy, and highly recommended! *****

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite so far!
Review: This was my favorite book out of the three in this series (the first two being Dead Until Dark and Living Dead in Dallas). The vampire, Eric, is my favorite character and you get to see a lot more of him in this book. Lots of humor mixed in with adventure. Although some of the characters from the first two novels have smaller parts and there are new characters introduced, I like it that she is keeping things new and exciting. I can't wait for the next one in the series to come out!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horror + Humor = An Entertaining Read
Review: Another light hearted episode in this Southern Vampire mystery series featuring the irrepressible Sookie Stackhouse, telepath and cocktail waitress, who we first met in 'Dead Until Dark' and 'Living Dead in Dallas.'

Sinister and sexy, this tale takes Sookie from her Louisiana home to the underworld of Jackson, Mississippi as she searches for her boyfriend Bill - who has disappeared while on a secret assignment for the Vampire powers of his home state. A twisted plotline keeps you jumping, and the usual mix of Harris's urban shape-changers, vampires and werewolves make for a highly entertaining story.

Simply a pleasure to read; and if you are a fan of Laurell K. Hamilton's 'Anita Blake' series or an aficionado of Anne Rice's tales, you may find these a humorous diversion for a sunny afternoon.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: TO MUCH WHINNY AND CRYING
Review: LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THE FIRST TWO WERE GOOD. THIS ONE WAS GOOD ONLY BECAUSE OF THE HUMOR OF ERIC. I LOVED HOW HE WOULD JUST POP IN AND OUT OF BED AND OTHER PLACES. EVERY TIME THERE WAS A KNOCK I JUST KNEW IT WAS ERIC COMMING TO BE IRRATATING AND AMUSING. I LOVE HIM!!! NOW MS. STACKHOUSE ON THE OTHER HAND WAS IRRATATING IN A WHOLE NOTHER WAY. TOO MUCH CRYING AND WHINNY. YO, YOU ASKED TO MEET A VAMPIRE, THEN YOU BECOME HIS GIRLFRIEND, NOW YOU CRYING AND WHINNY BECAUSE HE ACTS LIKE WHAT HE IS. THE MAN IS DEAD, YOU ARE HAVING SEX WITH A DEAD MAN. DEAL WITH IT! YOU ARE NOT MARRIED TO THIS MAN. AND AS YOU PUT IT, SEVERAL TIMES THRU OUT THE BOOK, HE'S NEVER ASKED. HA, THAT WAS FUNNY. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN SHE DID HAVE SOME BACKBONE, BUT STILL, ALL THAT CRYING. I REALLY LIKED THE PART WHEN SHE GOT STAKED. YO THAT PART WAS GREAT! NOT THAT I WANTED HER TO DIE OR ANYTHING IT WAS JUST INTENSE. SOOKIE SHOULD BE A VAMPIRE HERSELF BY NOW WITH ALL THE BLOOD SHE'S TAKEN FROM HER VAMPIRE FRIENDS. SO THIS IS WHY SHE GETS A THREE AND NOT A FIVE STAR RATING. IT WORTH READING, JUST NOT WORTH FIVE STARS. OH AND THE WERE WOLF GUY HE SOUNDED LIKE WE MIGHT BE HEARING MORE STORIES ABOUT HIM. i LIKED HIM AS WELL. BUT, ERIC SHOULD MEET LESTAT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You Have Got to Read!!!
Review: If you love Romances, Mystery, and Supernatural you have got to read this book!!! Very different from Dead Until Dark; Charlaine Harris has toned down some of the more 'sexual' parts, but still interesting. Charlain has made a truley awesome series, mixing romance, mystery, and supernatural all in one. I read this book all in one night! I love the conflict within the book; Sookie is very devoted to Bill, but when she finds he had planned to leave her all hell had broke loose. Now, she no longer has her strong hold, and she truley finds out how rough life can be with vampires and werewolves. If you have read Dead Until Dark, you will definetly love this book!!! Funny and detailed, this is a definate MUST READ!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: High adventure with strong emotional stakes
Review: Loving a vampire isn't easy, but for mind-reader Sookie Stackhouse, it has its consolations. Until, that is, her vampire boyfriend Bill takes up with an old sweetheart and is kidnapped by the King of Mississippi. Bill's boss, Eric, asks Sookie to user her mind-reading talents to see if she can locate Bill before his captors kill him and Sookie agrees. She's smarting from Bill's betrayal, but she still cares for him enough that she doesn't want him to suffer.

Along with a werewolf who owes Eric a favor, Sookie leaves Louisianna and heads for Mississippi and Club Dead--a bar where only the supernatural hang out. She can't read a vampire's mind, one of Bill's attractions for her, but she can read their dates. And she soon learns that Bill is still alive, but not for long. She has to rescue him, but first, she has to stay alive long enough to do the job. And with Sookie Stackhouse, staying alive is a constant challenge.

Author Charlaine Harris ups the emotional stakes in CLUB DEAD. Sookie faces betrayal from her boyfriend, the dangerous affections of a werewolf and Eric, heavy-handed 'help' from Bubba (formerly Elvis), and an entire kingdom of vampires who want something from Bill and are willing to risk war to get it. And then there's the crazy guy with a stake and the motorcycle-riding werewolf gangs. With all the adventure, it's still the emotional impact that makes Club Dead work. Sookie is torn between her love for Bill and what her life with the vampires has become. Bill's betrayal only adds to her sense of loss.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well....
Review: I was disappointed that Bill took a turn for the worse in this book..I am an average housewife that likes vampires and a good romance/mystery novel, which the other two books were, but I was really let down by this novel and the decisions made with Bill's character...I hope that Ms. Harris brings Bill back to be the more devoted, loving, and protecting companion of Sookie's that he was in the first two novels...instead of making him the "bad" guy that he was portrayed as in this one...I am still looking forward to the next book..and still highly recommend reading this one as well...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 3rd time's a charm!
Review: I think I enjoyed Club Dead more than the 2nd novel Living Dead in Dallas. It brought in more variety and I was getting tired of Bill the vampire. Another very fun read, page-turner that kept me going until there was no more! Where's the next one Ms. Harris? I only wish I found this series later so I wouldn't have to keep waiting for the next one to come out!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Waste of time
Review: This book had such potential considering the first two installments and Ms. Harris went and ruined her own series. This book was ridiculous and I couldn't wait to get out of Sookieville. Bill is a pain, Sookie needs a backbone and Eric, well Eric is just Eric. The first two books were so great, this one should have been a blast to read too. I give up on Sookie just like Ms. Harris did.
