Sookie Stackhouse is back in Charlaine Harris' Dead Reckoning (#80). Victor, the new Regent for Louisiana, is out to provoke Sookie's vampire lover Eric Northman and his child Pam into attacking him so that Victor can justify killing them both. Sookie may provide just the right means of doing that... But wait! Is it really Victor's henchmen that firebombed Merlottes in Bon Temps, or is some other supernatural creature? And what are Sookie's fae cousins up to while living in her house - could some of their employees at Hooligan's be behind the attacks on Sookie? Or is it another old enemy resurfacing?
Sookie does have her hands full trying to figure out who her enemies are and supporting Eric and Pam against Victor. More revelations about her fairy relatives and old relationships trouble her and bring her to another turning point in her bond with Eric.
I wonder why it is that I love reading these books so much, but I can't even stomach five minutes watching True Blood? (And that was the one and only episode I ever cared to watch!) Maybe it's because the producers' vision is so different from mine. And that's the whole point behind reading - to create a universe in your own mind in your own image. Thank heavens for that! I'm looking forward to what's next...
