Product Description:
Sixth in the Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series.
Spiked with a frothy fusion of romance, mystery, and fantasy, this bestselling series sends the supernaturally gifted cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse to New Orleans, where she has to deal with the legacy of one of her own family and a host of potentially dangerous characters.

I thought this book was one of the best in the entire series (so far). It went in a direction I didn't see coming and really had me upset for Sookie.

This was such a bizarre entry in what has become one of my favorite mystery series. First of all, starting this book will be totally confusing for anyone who hasn't read "One Word Answer," a short Sookie Stackhouse story that Harris wrote for an anthology. How do I know? Because I hadn't read it by the time I began "Definitely Dead," and I was definitely confused. Sookie's cousin was murdered in New Orleans, and the Vampire Queen of Louisiana sent an emissary to visit Sookie in Bon Temps? When? Not in any of the previous books I'd read. I knew I couldn't be crazy, so I did some online research, found the short story, and was able to download it for free. Then the beginning of the book made sense to me. But how unfair is that to readers who either don't know about the story or have access to the internet? At least publish the short story in the paperback edition of "Definately Dead" so that readers aren't completely lost. Or include a note at the beginning of the book that directs readers to the anthology. Something, anything.
Second of all, the story involving Sookie's dead vampire cousin, the core of the book, doesn't really get rolling again until around page 130. Before then, the book is strictly filler, with unimportant subplots, one involving Jason and his werepanther girlfriend, the other about a missing child, who Sookie helps find. Those aren't spoilers, folks, because these side stories have NOTHING to do with the book's actual plot. So why ... Read More

When I first started this series I was still starry eyed over the Twilight series. However when I read this series I started to realize that Charlaine Harris writes better and her story plot and charaxcters are better, more detailed and more fun than other vamp fiction. I can't wait for the next one to come out and I hope that many more people start and begin to love this series the way I did.

I've loved all the books in this series so far and this one was no exception. As much as this series is all about fantasy Sookie certainly faces her share of "real life" hardships such as loneliness, heartache and financial worries. Like a lot of other reviewers I did find myself somewhat disappointed that Bill & Eric are reduced to cameo appearances in this installment but hope to see more of them in the next book. I highly recommend this series to anyone who wants to escape for a while without leaving their sense of humor behind - great read.

This is another great Sookie Stackhouse novel. Charlaine Harris brings her characters to life. There is plenty of action and mystery surrounding Sookie and the small town she lives in. Each chapter keeps you wanting to read more.
