Ugh, this book was so perfect. I’ve re read this series at least a dozen times. Sookie is my comfort character and hearing Eric’s POV 201 years after the ending of the last book was……

You’ve breathlessly read through the 13 books of Sookie Stackhouse and you ask yourself: what will I do without the world of Bon Temps? Maybe I should’ve paced myself better? I feel a little, empty? So you do what any girl would do, and SEE IF THERE’S MOAR.
I get it. I see you. But back away from the Amazon prime. Maybe get outside? Remember friends? Yeah.
Stick to the series.

I liked this book. I think this is due to the fact that Charlaine didn't write any of the stories. I enjoyed the Luna, Diantha, and Desiree stories the most. The Eric story was terrible.

I enjoyed most of the stories in this book, though I admit to getting a little tired of it. There were moments, however, when it was joyous to revisit the Sookie saga. You don't have to have read the entire series, but I found that it helped. Enjoy, by all means!

My favorites were "The Real Santa Claus" by Leigh Perry and "The Bat Signal" by Suzanne McLeod: these were solid, smart and funny tales. The story I liked least was "Widower's Walk" by Maryjanice Davidson, which takes place two centuries in the future and seemed to lack substance.
For those who criticized this anthology as being overpriced fanfiction, I think that might be a bit harsh and inaccurate overall. This was a sweet tribute to the world of Sookie Stackhouse and a fun way to revisit some quirky characters such as Diantha, Luna, Hunter, and Amelia, among many others.

It's been long enough since the Sookie marathon finished for me to enjoy dipping my toes back in the Bon Temps water, and I think these writers did a great job of picking up stray characters and exploring their past, present and future (whether or not they were all strictly within the rules of the Sookieverse). I enjoyed most, disliked one and was a little noncommittal about another, but that's generally how anthologies go.
Fun to reminisce, and to fill in some gaps. It didn't inspire me to go back and reread any of the other books, as some do ([a:Sharon Lee|57980|Sharon Lee|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1249574929p2/57980.jpg] and [a:Steve Miller|6519963|Steve Miller|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png], I'm looking at you!) which some might see as a criticism, but I was happy with it.

These are stories by other writers writing in the Sookie Stackhouse world. Some of the stories are EXCELLENT, some just ok. If you are a fan of the series, good followup book. Not a keeper for me, however. Audiobook narrated excellently.

This is a collection of stories written in the Sookie Stackhouse universe. It’s fanfic, by published authors… fanfic. I didn’t get passed the 4th story.
