Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris

I started reading this series on my honeymoon in Tahiti; therefore, it is entirely possible that I'm a little biased. That said, I LOVE this series! Sookie is one of my favorites. I really like that her character continues to grow without essentially changing. She learns new things and meets new people without changing her essential self.

This is definitely a brown paper cover sort of book. Bright colors, glitter and two flying vampires. It doesn't get much much more embarrassing than that!

In this episode of the life of a cocktail waitress beloved of two vampires, a weretiger and a werecollie, Sookie gets caught up in a civil war amongst the fae. Her great-grandpa's enemies focus their attention on Sookie and they are very very scary.

Also, Eric and Sookie get married! Sort of. Vampire style. There are strong hints that the next installation in the series will have some sort of climax/resolution of Sookie's relationship with Eric. The last book ended with the reader left waiting for an explanation of Eric's intentions. This book was more of the same. There is some nookie and some revelation of Eric's past, but no real resolution of the whole blood bond/amnesia interlude.

I can't wait for the next book!
