The love interest, Bill is okay but can be misogynistic, racist, and "old fashioned" because he's an old vampire. I liked how Sookie wasn't afraid to call him out in his crap.
I absolutely hated Sookies boss, Sam by the end of the book! He was the absolute worse, and his character was negatively developed in my opinion.
The only reason I finished this book is because I enjoy murder mystery books, and vampire books. The murderer mystery part was not bad. I didn't guess the murderer, and it made sense once they were revealed.

That will absolutely not be happening.
Sookie is vapid, self-centred, judgemental, slut-shaming, homophobic, fatphobic and the living embodiment of “I’m not like other girls”.
The sex scenes were uncomfortable, badly written, and some bordered on non-consensual where the author clearly imagined them as romantic.
The mystery was plotted sloppily. The writing was rushed and extremely derivative, reminding me of bad YA. This is absolutely the kind of book your extremely religious aunt would write and call “raunchy”.
If the plot intrigues you I implore you to just watch the show and skip this train wreck. If you read and enjoyed this I’m on my knees begging you to read good paranormal romance - it’s absolutely out there and this isn’t it.
