Helpful Score: 2

I've come to enjoy Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books. In the beginning, the writing style and the obvious playing to the stereotypes of Southerners kind of put me off, but I've found that the more of this series that I read, the more I like it.

This particular novel deals with the after-effects of Eric's amnesia...and with a new menace to the shifter population of Bon Temps. Sookie, as always, seems to find herself neck-deep in politics she doesn't understand and situations that she should have avoided..but comes out relatively unharmed (which is part of her charm).

I also like the fact that Harris doesn't really treat Sookie as a nymphomaniac paranormal person (aka Anita), but as a person that has developed feelings for the situations she is placed in.

All in all, a good installation of the series.
