It's a Southern Vampire mystery. The books are interesting. Sookie Stackhouse is a barmaid in rural Louisiana who is also a telepath. In this world, vampires are out in public, and Sookie discovers that she can't hear their thoughts.
This one is well into the series, and you really need to read all the other books before you can read this one. You'd just miss too much without knowing the back story.
It was okay, but it seemed like she reached the end somewhere in the middle of the story. It had all the things that make these books sparkle. Emotional trauma? Check. Big bad fight scene? Check. Family and friend drama? Check check check.
None of it tied together all that well, and Sookie seems to be turning into an Anita Blake, which makes me a little sad. Sookie was always so refreshing.
But, it's worth reading, if only to finally see Bob turned back into a human and for Erik to get all his memories back.
