The Sookie Stackhouse-novels are not literary masterpieces, but there's something that make them a fun read.
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.

Sookie tar återigen på sig att lösa mord med hjälp av sin "gåva". Men hon blir också iväg skickad för att hjälpa vampyrerna i Dallas med deras försvunna vampyr.
Jag tyckte att boken var underhållande och jag kommer fortsätta läsa serien. Jag är lite osäker på vart serien kommer ta sig. Fast en sak är säker och det är att Sookie förmodligen kommer lösa fler mord och att det kommer vara drama med Bill och Eric.
