The Sookie Stackhouse-novels are not literary masterpieces, but there's something that make them a fun read. 

The plot of the novel deals basically with three different things: Sookie's coworker is murdered, a maenad makes an appearance demanding tribute and Eric loans Sookie to the Dallas vampires. These three plot pieces are a lot, and they could have been at least two different novels. There's a lot to unpack there. 

These novels are meant as light and sexy romp with a touch of darker elements. The light elements are fine, the sexy bits could be a bit more sexy and the darker elements could do with a bit of reflection. 

Unfortunately it shows a bit that these books were written by a straight white woman, but I'm not an expert.
