Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris
4.0
I have found every book in the Sookie series to be enjoyable. I do feel that the series is losing steam in some regards - for instance, how long can Sookie bounce from love interest to love interest?
Dead Reckoning was somewhat disjointed and choppy. There were a lot of subplots going on - the fire bombing at Merlotte's, Eric's uprising against Victor, Eric and Sookie, the return of Sandra Pelt, the fairy storyline, etc. etc. It felt a bit like the book was a series of events!
As it seems Sookie can never stay happy in a relationship for long, Harris really does seem to be pushing Sookie and Eric to a break up. Maybe she gets bored of her characters being happy? I felt like there were hints that Sookie could eventually end up with Bill or Sam. I'd be okay with Sam, but Bill? Not so much (and I'm not just basing it on my dislike of show Bill - I have never much cared for book Bill either)!
While I don't find the last few books to be up to the same level as the first in the series, I still eagerly anticipate reading the next novel in the series!
