Blood
“Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern
life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie

vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her
mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries,
horror stories, and romances.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging,
smart, and sexy heroine.”—The Denver Post

Harris outdoes herself in this pivotal eighth Sookie Stackhouse novel (after 2007's All Together Dead), packing the story full of romantic tension and supernatural action. Having barely survived a catastrophic vampire hotel explosion, Sookie's back at work in Bon Temps, La., serving vintage blood and waiting tables at Merlotte's, a vampire bar. Participating in a friend's wedding and fending off the advances of her vampire ex-lover, Bill, and her blood-bonded pal, Eric, leaves Sookie chafing over the recent lack of communication from Quinn, her weretiger boyfriend. When a violent Were power struggle erupts as Vegas vampires attempt to take over Louisiana from disgraced queen Sophie-Anne, Sookie dives into the middle of it, determined to help her shape-changing, blood-drinking friends. Harris provides many fun twists, most significantly Sookie's meeting with her fae great-grandfather, Niall Brigant, which paves the way for a shock ending that will delight longtime fans.
