• Better than what others say (4.5 stars)
  Oddly enough, I had poor expectations when I started reading this book due to the negative reviews here on Amazon, plus the lackluster writing of the previous book. Most of the complains seem to deal with the fact that there was no single event to tie the entire book together. Instead, we are treated to various mini crises interspersed with the tying up of the various plot points that have been remaining in the series.

• From Dead to Worse - My least favorite
  I have enjoyed all of the Books 1-7, but I am very disappointed in From Dead to Worse.

• One of the best of the series
  Life threatening and life changing events happen in this newest mystery. Sookie finds herself in the middle of two wars. The werewolf war that she mediates and the vampire war with an unpleasant surprise about who is helping the Las Vegas vampires to take over the Louisiana empire. She also finds new relatives to help make up for her disappointment with her brother. Lots of changes happen in a short period of time during this book. Very exciting!
