Although the best is still from book 3, "I don't like having feelings." Heh. I love his hints at having feelings for her, on the couch in the duplex, and mulling over whether he should kill her (to get rid of the feelings) or fuck her. Although mostly my brain is just going "Eric Eric Eric Eric". I'm excited that the next book is going to have more vamps in it (at least, I hope). Maybe I'm biased because it ended with that delicious Eric moment ("don't you wish you knew"! so cute), but also I thought the mystery unraveled nicely, and Sookie was strong and didn't need rescuing even when loads of men were trying. You know, I think I agree with the other reviewers that her books get better as she goes along. So far in the book, though, Sookie has rejected both Bill and Alcide. So I'll wallow in these novels for a bit longer.Īlcide is totally Riley from Buffy (season 4 and 5). It's winter, which causes me to turn inward, and to be fair I've been reading literary broccoli and spinach for a while. It's fun and enjoyable, while at the same time being crappy and not all that good for you, and afterwards you're like, "did I really just devour all that so quickly?" These books are the literary equivalent of Hallowe'en candy (with the True Blood TV show being the equivalent of dark chocolate). Seems like this one will be were- and shifter-centric, which doesn't thrill me.
