So is, for that matter, the relationship between Eric and Sookie. The relationship between Eric and Pam is strained. I loved their series and enjoy seeing them make an appearance in the Sookie books. I also really liked the cameo by Lily and Jack.

Finally, we are through with the Pelts! I was so tired of waiting for Sandra to show up and kill Sookie. Sookie is forever changed, and I find myself hoping that she could just find love, true love, and run away from the paranormal world as a whole.ĭead Reckoning contained a conclusion to an important story line: Sandra Pelt. So many people have died.she has been a part of so much violence. But so much has happened since she first met Bill. She has a unique gift and is a key player in paranormal politics. She wants to be normal, but she never will be. I think that Sookie is having trouble mentally reconciling the fact that her life will never be normal. Sookie is not the same girl she was at the beginning of the series-how could she be?-and the writing reflects that. And my complaint about Dead Reckoning is that the book felt sad.

My complaint about Dead in the Family was that the book was dark. Someone wants to kill Sookie-this is the plot of every Sookie book and it's starting to get old. I was bored by the first part of the book, and by the time the action started, I was not emotionally invested in the outcome. The day-to-day happenings of Sookie's life, interspersed with moments of intense violence, did not make for an easy read. But, something was lacking for me with Dead Reckoning. Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series is one of my all-time favorite series.
