Does Sookie even like Bill? Because he seems pretty gross and she seems barely into him.

Wow, I don't like the way Harris writes about people of color in this book. I don't like it one bit. There were so many "WTF?!" moments where I had to cringe and pause the audiobook. Also, what is with Harris' love phrases with the word "co*n" in them, I know she's southern but I don't care. She needs to stop using those damn phrases.
There's a bit of homophobia in the book too. Sookie's brother admits to be a homophobe and she yells at him for it, then she turns around and starts having homophobic thoughts about gay characters in the book. Girl, you are no better than your brother.
The spice in here was okay, but what was lacking was the detail .I'm giving this 2.5 chilies out of 5 chilies đ¶ïžđ¶ïž
With the causal racism, sexism, and homophobia, I can't give this book anything higher than 2 stars. Certain parts were interesting and that's why I'm giving it two stars instead of just one.
âïžâïž 2/5 Stars

I don't understand why these two storylines were combined into one book. The Dallas storyline was interesting, though super dark. The Lafayette storyline felt super underdeveloped and like it was just an excuse to write about the sex party. I wish the author had just focused on the Dallas storyline.

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.

Jag tyckte att boken var underhÄllande och jag kommer fortsÀtta lÀsa serien. Jag Àr lite osÀker pÄ vart serien kommer ta sig. Fast en sak Àr sÀker och det Àr att Sookie förmodligen kommer lösa fler mord och att det kommer vara drama med Bill och Eric.
