Book Reviews of Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6)
Book Review: Just gets better and better
Summary: 5 Stars
These books have gotten better and better with each installment and this one is no exception. First, I have really come to love Harris's writing style-she makes the sentences and dialogue flow and really makes her story and characters come alive in a simplified way. She makes writing a novel seem easy! Second, the plot was exciting and once again kept me turning the pages. I've really come to love Sookie as a character - she has her insecurities like everyone else and is considered a "good girl" but takes risk and doesn't worry too much about the moral dilemmas. Which I personally find refreshing-I'm tired of reading about characters who do something drastic then spend pages on their regrets. I was shocked about the revelation about Bill (which I won't spoil for other readers here) but it seems to fit perfectly with his character. I love Eric more and more with each installment. I'm not too sure how I feel about Quinn at this point-he seems a little too perfect and cookie cutter-but I'm excited to see what happens with him in the next book. Highly recommended.Book Review: Things that make ya go "hmmmm!"

I bought this series for my Mother and she has really enjoyed each and every one! She says they're "laugh out loud funny" and I've heard her do just that! Book Review: Love ya Sookie, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
Did I miss something? When I started reading this book I couldn't help but wonder if I skipped one in the series somewhere. It brings up backstory and characters the author writes like we should know already, but I'd never heard much of Hadley except she was the troublemaker cousin who fell off the map. Now in this story Sookie seems to have already met her dead cousin's friends, solved some mystery of her murder, and knows so much about the queen and her gang that I felt like I missed a HUGE chunk of story somewhere.
And while I like that Sookie has something going with a were-tiger, I just can't picture an attractive, huge, bald, olive-skinned guy. I just see a tan Mr. Clean. And when Quinn was biting Sookie with his tiger teeth to get the tape off her wrists wouldn't that have infected her?
I just don't know what happened to this book in the series...did Harris bring in a guest writer or something? I'll still get the next one because I still want to know what happens with Sookie and the gang, but I was disappointed in this installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series.
Book Review: Great installment!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this series! Definitely Dead is a great addition to it. This is a great book. I would read the other books in this series first.
Book Review: Definitely Dead--An exciting ride
Summary: 5 Stars
Johanna Parker brings the characters to life in an exciting and believable way. This is an excellent series for those who enjoy fantasy and, particularly, vampire/shapeshifter tales. Sookie, the main character, is a pleasant person with whom I am able to identify. I would love to have her "disability"--I think. So far, the males she has dated are fun and also deadly. I hope this series continues for a very long time. This CD was certainly worth buying as I will listen to it a great number of times.
