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 was aggravated through half of this book. The main character, Sookie was okay, but everyone else was insufferable with their stupidity and problematic behavior. I hated every side character! 

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.

Reread:
I don't know if it's because I've read a lot more paranormal/vampire romances (not that this is a romance) or my reading tastes have changed, but a lot of things rubbed me the wrong way in this book. From the slightly misogynist and racist statements to the "good ol' boy" way of thinking that is so apparent in the characters of this book, I was just very uncomfortable.
