Done Read: Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Hi. My name is C. L. Norman and I’m a Sookie Fan. I admit it. I like me some Sookie. She’s funny and never boring and always in trouble.
I enjoyed Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris very much. There were rumblings in the blogosphere after Dead in the Family came out. Everyone thought it wasn’t as good. Maybe the series should come to an end. Blah, blah, blah. I liked Dead in the Family. Sookie has had such a wild ride of it through the first 9 books that I think it was about time she had a different kind of challenge and I liked it.
Dead Reckoning sends Sookie back into the thick of things. Some old threats are taken care of and some new challenges are brought to light. Some of which aren’t resolved in anyway before the book ends. Yeah, I was screaming at the end of this book too. For different reasons than I mentioned before. Before it was because I knew the story was over and I had to go home to the real world. This time, I screamed because I have to wait a year to find out what happens next.
There was action and bloody fight scenes (which can only be done in a Sookie book) and Sookie’s love life get thrown for a loop. Again.
I’d recommend these books to anyone who likes romance, mystery, urban fantasy, or having a good time when they read.

Cheyenne (wifey)read these books. She thought she’d hate them, and four weeks later had finished all of them. Ha. But yes, she would also recommend these to anyone, (though she said the last one wasn’t as fantastic as the rest).

Two years ago, I bought the box set with the first 8 in them knowing I would like them. I didn’t know I would love them and that I would reread the entire series every couple months whether I needed to or not.
