Book Reviews of From Dead to Worse (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 8)
Book Review: 3 1/2 Stars
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Charlaine Harris' writing. I'd probably enjoy reading the ingredients off a box of cereal if she wrote it. That said, I found "From Dead to Worse" not up to the standard of the other novels in the series. It struck me a bit as a way to clean up the series and position it for future novels. We met just about every character introduced to date, and either found a way to get rid of them or firm up their position in the series. I was left with the feeling that the number of characters was becoming unwieldy and Ms. Harris used this novel to rectify the situation. She's left us in a good position for follow on novels, so by all means read it. I'll just be waiting for paperback versions rather than paying right away for the first hardcover off the press.
****SPOILER ALERT****
It seems out of character for Sookie to have dumped Quinn the way she did, but it does get him out of the picture and leave her open for a Bill/Eric/Alcide/Sam conflict. I doubt we'll be seeing much more of Jason or the werepanthers (no big loss). The introduction of a greatgrandfather and a telepathic nephew was a little open-ended for my taste, but I still enjoy everything Ms. Harris writes.
