I already knew I loved this series as a show. I was pleasantly surprised to fine the show was very true to the book aside from being set a few years later. (With one Elvis shaped exception)  I really enjoyed the tone and pace and the author’s style. I actually listened to this on audiobook and the reader was fab.   

Not precisely a spoiler, but I was a little surprised Tara isn’t in it at all. I’m hoping she will be in the next book in the series.

A good time, reading it in 2022 it does feel a little dated and there are some ✨topics✨ involved but the story is fun and I like book Sookie better than the show Sookie.

I read the whole Sookie Stackhouse series a while ago and really enjoyed it. I'd maybe have to read it again to see what I think now but at the time it was my favourite book series.
