My rating of the book, F- [worst] to A [best].: B+
Short description/summary of the book: (taken from amazon.com):Sookie Stackhouse is having man trouble. Her vampire boyfriend, Bill, has been distant and inattentive lately. Then he announces that he is going on a business trip, which clearly is more than it seems. After a werewolf tries to abduct Sookie at work, Bill's boss, Eric, tells her that Bill fell under the sway of his--Bill's, that is--ex, a sexy vamp named Lorena, and has been kidnapped. Eric wants Sookie's help in getting Bill back, and despite her hurt over Bill's betrayal, Sookie agrees to go to Jackson, Mississippi, to find her wayward lover. Eric has persuaded Alcide, a dashing werewolf, to get Sookie access to Josephine's, aka Club Dead, the local hangout of Jackson's supernatural element. In between dodging kidnappers, the advances of amorous Eric, and her growing feelings for Alcide, Sookie has to find out who kidnapped Bill and figure out a way to rescue him. With some droll touches--Elvis, now a vampire, is Sookie's faithful guard --Club Dead is ideal for readers who like their vampire fiction light, humorous, and fast-paced.
My Thoughts: This book was pretty good. I really like Alcide and am hoping to see more of him as the rest of the series progresses. I can say right now that I am not a fan of Bill especially after this book. I am ready to see what happens to all of the characters in the books that follow.
Books read this year: 15/50. I'm 30% done!!!
Next read(s): I think I am going to read the next book in the Sookie Stackhouse series.
