Dead to the World – Charlaine Harris

Title: Dead to the World
Author: Charlaine Harris

Sookie Stackhouse is a small-town cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She’s pretty. She does her job well. She keeps to herself and has only a few close friends because not everyone appreciates Sookie’s gift. She can read minds. Not exactly every man’s idea of date bait. Unless they’re undead. Vampires and the like can be tough to read – just the kind of guy Sookie’s been looking for.

Maybe that’s why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the road home from work, she doesn’t just drive on by. Turns out he hasn’t a clue as to who he is, but Sookie does. It’s Eric, still as scary and sexy – and dead – as the day she first met him. But now that he has amnesia, Eric is sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie’s help – because whoever took his memory now wants his life. Sookie’s investigation into why leads straight into a dangerous battle aong witches, vampires, and werewolves. But there could be great danger to Sookie’s heart – because the kinder, gentler Eric is very difficult to resist.

I am having problems reviewing more Sookie books because I love them and read them so quickly and feel like I repeat the same things every time I review one. I try not to give out spoilers, which makes it harder to talk about this one…

How about this: If you haven’t read a Sookie Stackhouse book, you need to. Now.

Dead to the World opens the Sookie world to more magical creatures, more intense relationships, and just as much action as the other books. We learn a lot more about witches in this book, and one relationship reaches a level I didn’t expect. I love Sookie
