Sookie Stackhouse likes living in Bon Temps, Louisiana, and she likes working as a cocktail waitress at Merlotte's. But she is having a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature which gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it).
The point is: the vampires saved her life. So when one of her bloodsuckers asks for a favour, she obliges-and soon Sookie's in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She's supposed to interview certain humans involved, but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave, and let the humans go unharmed. But that's easier than done, and all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly...
Most people who have read this series, at the very least, like portions of it.
They like the first 3 or 4 installments, but then they get bored, or after the 3rd or 4th book, the series really started picking up for them.
I’m weird, I guess. I pretty much liked the entire series right up until the end. Sure, how much I liked each book varied—for example, except for the last book, this one is my LEAST favorite, but that’s not uncommon, what with this being book 2 and all. It definitely has its good moments (like when Eric gets shot and that thing happens that is hilarious and awesome), but overall . . . MEH.
Living Dead in Dallas begins with Sookie finding a dead Lafayette in Andy Bellefleur’s car in the parking lot of Merlotte’s one morning. What do you mean, “a dead Lafayette?!” you ask. “Lafayette can’t be DEAD, he’s still going strong in season 6 of True Blood!”
Let me introduce you to a little game I like to play called “Same and NOT the Same.”
SO. Andy’s been drinking, ’cause you know, being a cop is hard, and Sookie has to call Portia (his sister) to come and pick him up.
Leaving his car at the bar.
For persons unknown to leave a dead body in.
But why would someone want to kill Lafayette? He’s so much fun!
Yeah, well, he’s also got a BIG mouth. A BIG mouth that he’s apparently been running about a house he’d been going to, “where there were all kinds of sex hi-jinks going on,” and someone didn’t like that. Someone didn’t like that a lot.
So poor Sook’s stressed out about that.
Then when she gets home from work that night, Bill tells her that she’s been “summoned” by Eric.
Better and better.
The next evening they drive to Shreveport, where Eric informs her that she’s been LOANED out to vampires in Dallas who could use some assistance of the telepathic variety. AND while Sookie’s understandably upset about Eric’s high-handedness, there’s really not much she can do about it—she did, after all, agree to help him any time he wanted, in exchange for turning over human culprits to human authorities, rather than taking matters into their vampire hands. I suppose it’s her own fault for not specifying she wouldn’t stand for being loaned out. You live and you learn, I guess.
Freakin’ vampires.
And that is how Bill and Sookie wind up on an airplane bound for Dallas.
I’ve already said that this is probably my least favorite book in the series until you get to end, and that is b/c . . . while I don’t have a problem with kink, I do have a problem with gross, middle-aged, pervy kink. And this group is just . . . blech.
I also have a problem with centuries-old, pedophile vampires. Actually, I have a problem with ALL types of pedophiles, so even contemplating one that has been doing what they do FOR SO FREAKING LONG<——well, clearly, it’s upsetting.
AND all of the Bill and Sookie relationship angst from book 1 grows and flourishes in book 2 (and relationship angst is not something you want growing and flourishing). This is also the book where you get your first glimpse of how self-absorbed Bill can be.
This book is also where you get your first glimpse of how attentive someone-not-Bill can be.
*winks*
And that’s really the only sell point for this installment. Well, that, and it’s necessary to read this one to get to the good ones. BOTTOMLINE—too much perv for one book. Read it b/c you can’t move forward without it, but go into it knowing that there is some seriously disturbing stuff going on. That is all.
Sookie Stackhouse Series:
Was this review helpful to you? If so, please consider voting for it on Amazon!
My name is Jessica and I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I’m trying my hand at writing, but mostly I read. My favorite genres are Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Science Fiction, Urban Fantasy, and the YA versions of those genres, but if there is a book of a different color getting lots of buzz, I’ll read it too, just to be informed. If I’m not reading or writing, I’m probably on Goodreads or Pinterest or baking blueberry pies because I love them.
This book was so much fun! Is this the book where Eric wore a pink spandex body suit?

LOL. He DID. I forgot about that. But you have to admit–that whole scenario was a bit . . . gross . . .
I tried to get into the Sookie series and just couldn’t do it. I read the first two books and didn’t like Harris’s writing style. Part of me has thought about going back and trying them on audio, but my list is too long right now. I tried watching True Blood and couldn’t do that either. *hangs head in shame* Maybe one day, I’ll try again.

They’re not for everyone. Nothing for it sometimes 😉 I really liked it, but I have TONS of friends who didn’t like it either, and yeah, sometimes the TBR pile is just too darn big to mess around with things that you’re pretty MEH about. No shame in that 😉
I almost didn’t continue with this series because book 1 did nothing for me. I did not like Bill at all, in fact, book 1 had me rooting for Sam. But then my friend, who does not read all that much, got hooked and begged me to continue with the series, and for me it did pick up after book 3 or so. 😉 I barely remember this one, but I do miss old school Sookie.
Kate recently posted…Short and Tweet Review of Death Proof: A Screenplay
I think we ALL miss old school Sookie, LOL. And even more than that, we miss old school ERIC.
I’m exactly like you, I actually loved the entire series BUT I haven’t read the last book yet. I can’t bring myself to do it.
I liked this book, too!!
I don’t even remember being bothered by any pedophile silliness, either. I must give a pass on vamps to that kind behavior – their just weirdos anyways. NOW, in a contemporary, I’m ripping the book to pieces. But with vamps, they all live forever soooo…
Unless I’m completely missing what the heck you’re talking about (which is entirely possible!) and it’s a non-supe you’re talking about then we’re cutting off body parts!!! 😉

No, it was that super old vamp that was hangin’ the anti-vampire church, and was going to meet the sun on live TV. And I don’t want to think about that issue enough to figure out if I feel differently when it’s humans or supes. I’m just sticking to I don’t like it. But YAY! for finding someone else who liked the series all the way through 😉
That is one character they changed in the TV Show and rightly so. I don’t think his true nature would have come over well. The next book is one of my favorites 🙂
Felicia the Geeky Blogger recently posted…#JIAM RIPI Giveaway Carnal Secrets by Suzanne Wright
Me TOO. On both counts. Things really take off for me with book 3, and they don’t slow down until book 11 or something.
Someday I will give the first book a shot. I hate not being up to date on the major pop culture phenoms, and this is one of the bigger ones.
Nathan ( recently posted…Sci-Fi Review: ‘Caliban’s War’ by James S.A. Corey
Yeah. I think that’s why I started reading these too. When I heard about the TV series, and then that it was based on an UF series, I was like “Oooohhh?” and I got them. And really liked them. So it worked out 😉
I gave up around book 10, I could not stand her anymore :/

I sorry. You were not alone.
I decided a long time ago not to read this series. After finding out what happened at the end it didn’t seem worth it. I loved your review, though.
Bethzaida (bookittyblog) recently posted…Pic2Book Wednesday Challenge #101
Thank you! And yeah, if you know how it’s going to end, and aren’t happy with it, I can see not wanting to fool with it at all. That’s a LOT of books.
i liked the first couple of books, but did stop after the 4th I believe. I just never picked it back up. I like Bill better in the books 😉
sharonda recently posted…Video Book Review: Harmony by Sienna Mynx
NOOOOOO. You like Bill? Gah, I can’t stand Bill, LOL. But if I didn’t hate him, I would definitely be disappointed in how the rest of the series went, so I get you 😉
Yeah, I agree. I loved the first couple then some of the middle/end ones. That’s not to say that I didn’t read the whole series, ’cause I did, but some were better than others. And pervy vamps suck.
Mary recently posted…And then there were three: SHATTERED by Kevin Hearne
Pervy vamps DO suck. After the 2nd book and up until 11 or 12, the in between books were all different levels of LOVE. I really loved 4,7, and 9, but I thought the rest were great too. *shrugs*
Eeeep! I get to read a review of yours 😀 Haha. I’m glad that you’ve liked this series so much. I enjoyed the first book a lot, but as you, ha! The 2nd book is just.. I DNF-d. LAFAYETTE IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER WITH JASON STACKHOUSE AND PAM!!! PAAAAAMMM 😀 Haha. That’s on the show though (which I stopped watching after S5 -.-) “I also have a problem with centuries-old, pedophile vampires.” LOOOOOL. Same 😀 Self-absorbed Bill? 🙁 Hmmm. Ohkay, I didn’t reach that part I guess 😀 I can’t wait for the rest of your reviews, lovely 🙂
Siiri recently posted…Waiting on Wednesday #16
PAM IS GOING TO BE AT DRAGON CON!!! And yeah, Bill sucks. If you kept reading this one, you’d have gotten to the part when they’re in Dallas, after Sookie escaped from the anti-vamp churchy people, when those same anti-vamp churchy people shoot-up the main vamp’s house. Eric dives on top of her to protect her, and gets shot several times in the process, and Bill just leaves. He runs out the door to hunt down the humans, and doesn’t even check to see if Sookie’s alive.<------RAT bastard.
I think I made it to book 3 before I quit this series. I wanted to like it but found myself bored and annoyed by Sookie…LOL I actually bought the boxed set right before the TV series started and decided to watch instead after reading the first few books…I ended up giving away the set as a giveaway on my blog. I’m not sure I’ll give them another chance (maybe when I’ve tackled my large TBR pile), I think this is one of those series you either love or hate and honestly it just wasn’t for me.
Lori recently posted…Review: Legally Undead by Margo Bond Collins
Well, I bet you made somebody happy, LOL. And yeah, I know a lot of people just couldn’t handle Sookie, and she will never be one of my favorite MCs, but I could tolerate her well enough, and I REALLY liked a lot of the other characters, so for me it worked.
I read book one and thought it was okay, I DNF this one though and didn’t keep up with the series. For some reason, I couldn’t get over the fact that the guy would comb her hair. It would creep me the hell out!
Nereyda recently posted…Waiting On Wednesday (113)!
Really? I actually thought that part was kind of sweet, LOL.
I’m kind of weird about hair I guess. I don’t like when people touch my hair. I’ve been cutting it myself for years for that same reason…
Nereyda recently posted…Review & Giveaway: Come Back To Me by Mila Gray!
Then yeah, I can see why you wouldn’t like that. Getting my haircut is one of my favorite things. I get so relaxed, I could fall asleep. So that’s probably why I like it 😉
I have such a love hate relationship with this series. I still need to finish the last two books and just can’t being myself to do it.
kindlemom1 recently posted…My WoW Pick of the Week
I think we all do. And if you’ve waiting this long, I don’t blame you. I wish I wasn’t as stubborn as I am . . .
PEDOPHILES! Ok that just gets my freaking burr up bad right there. I hate when it comes into play because then immediately you get emotionally worked up. Makes me wonder …but yeah its there, it happens so of course its going to come into play in the books
but you know I’ve seen it more in UF books then in other SFF books wonder why that is?
Tabitha (Not Yet Read) recently posted…Review: Deadly Curiosities by Gail Z. Martin
I don’t know. Maybe b/c we’re already dealing with horrific creatures anyway, so why don’t we just let it ALL hang out. CLEARLY not a fan.
Well I just hate thinking that normal pedophiles live a long life probably doing that to however many children but then you throw in a long lived nasty freaking immortal who has been doing it for MILLENIA and that just right there rips into my guts because then its like hey – they are immortal so that kid stands no chance and they’ve then been doing that for countless lifetimes to perfect their art of disgust and torment. That sends my gut into a reel of stress that I hate thinking about even while I type this.

EXACTLY. They live longer, they’re stronger, there’s no protection from it, unless all the centuries finally begin to weigh them down enough that they want to kill themselves . . . ugh, just ugh.
Some day I will continue with this series! I stopped after the first one and I don’t even really remember why…I remember liking it.
Mogsy recently posted…Book Review: vN by Madeline Ashby
Pfft. I know why—too many books, LOL.
I’m so very behind on this series… but I have read this one. I think I forgot a lot about it, but you have brought it back. I agree with the pervy stuff. :p I am glad they changed aspects of the stories in the show.
Melissa (Books and Things) recently posted…A Barricade in Hell by Jaime Lee Moyer with Giveaway!
Me too. In the books was bad enough.
LOL Excellent review, Jessica. I haven’t read past #4 in this series…but I haven’t given up. Maybe I did get a little bored but mostly I just got caught up in so many other series. I WILL have to get back to this series someday since you think it gets better. 😉
Seriously, Brandee. IMO books 4-9 friggin’ ROCK. I think the whole series is worth it for those books. I hope you do get back to them one day, b/c they really are great. And thanks!
These was one of my first series on audio and I loved every book until the last 3, but still enjoyed them. I have not listened to the last book, but I will one day. I used to love Eric until I watch the show..LOL which I don’t watch any more and haven’t since season 2. They got too far from the books.
Lupdilup recently posted…Where to buy audiobooks #audiobookmonth #Audiobooks
Yeah, I had to stop watching the show too (and for more reasons than just Eric). I loved him too, and it made me really sad when he started turning into a superjerk in the books. But I kept reading . . . like you. Except I did read the last one . . .
I agree, this was far from my favorite installment, but it did have one of my favorite scenes from the whole series, when Sookie asks Eric help investigate the party, the conversation they have when. He shows up, and of course his outfit!
Yeah, that was a lot of fun. AND, like I already mentioned, I loved it when he tricked her into sucking out the bullets from his chest. He’s so mischievous in this book, LOL. LOVE him.
Freakin vampires. Gotta love em. I love Charlaine Harris’s books.
sherry fundin recently posted…Casey Keen is on tour with The Anna Wolfe Series with Review, Excerpt & Giveaway
Me too. Like ALL of them. Harper Connelly, Aurora Teagarden, Midnight, Texas . . . LOVE them 😉
I really enjoyed this series up until around book 8 and then it all went downhill for me – I could never stand Bill or Eric, I was always hoping for a Sookie/Quinn or Sookie/Alcide HEA but it was never to be {sigh}.
A great review Jessica! the pedophile, pervy vamp story line irked me.
Sharon – Obsession with Books recently posted…Review: The Monster Within by Kelly Hashway
Yeah, I really wanted things to work out with Quinn or Alcide too. Until Alcide just showed up in her bed that time, which was pretty obnoxious, but I never quit hoping for Quinn. Sigh . . .
Thanks, Sharon. An yes, that was especially irksome.
AAAAAAND I still haven’t started this series yet! Gah, Jessica, you should try reading Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive too so we can get sucked into 1000 pages of awesomeness that will leave us not wanting to read anything else for days 😉 In any case, this sounds like this suffered much from the “middle book syndrome” despite being the third book in a series. Reading through the comments and it seems like this book didn’t work so well with them either o.O
Faye recently posted…ARC Review: Come Back to Me by Mila Gray
LOL, Faye. It is going to be a LONG time before I’m able to squeeze in a 1000 page book. But I will eventually. I think I already have BOTH books. And yeah, this book had issues. Thankfully, those issues were resolved fairly quickly. Overall though—LOVE this series.
I read this book so many years back I don’t remember the details. I know, my memory sucks.
I like this series, but as you said in your review I liked some books more than others. The only book I haven’t read and I’m not planning to read is last book. I already gave Sookie the HEA I wanted and not the one Harris gave her.
BookaholicCat recently posted…CATS-ilicious Thursdays
You and everybody else, LOL. GAH. Why? Part of the reason I wanted to reread these books a bit after the fact was that Harris said she always intended for the series to end that way, so I wanted to see if there really were hints all along. And . . . there kind of are . . . I’m not sure what to do with that yet, but they are definitely there.
For some reason, this never came across as my kind of read, but I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it Jessica! I think it might just be a bit to romance-focused for me; but if I’m in the mood for something like that, I’ll definitely keep this in mind. Thanks for sharing, and, as always, BRILLIANT review! <3
Zoe recently posted…The Half Life of Molly Pierce
Yeah, there are definitely twisty and turny romancy things going on in this series, for sure, so if that’s not your thing . . . 😉 And thanks, Zoe.
Like you, I enjoyed the whole series…some books more than others but as a whole it was fun. I actually was up-to-date on reading the series when True Blood came out and had a little bit of confusion over Lafayette…it was all “isn’t he dead?” That’s when I realized that the show was going to really deviate from the books and have been really good at seeing them as two completely different things.
Traci recently posted…Review ~ Scorched ~ Erica Hayes
Yeah, see I didn’t start reading the series until I found out the show was coming. I think I had read them all, up to that point, but by the time the show started (b/c they advertised for MONTHS), it was all still really fresh, and therefore (I guess) more malleable in my mind. Obviously, I expected him to die on the show, but when he didn’t, it didn’t bother me that much. I didn’t quit until the Lilith nonsense 😉
Yeah, I was seriously grossed out by the perv factor too, but really enjoyed the novel overall. I’m with you on liking the series, sometimes more, sometimes less, right until the last one there which was so totally disappointing (we’ve talked about it before, won’t get into my whining again, lol).
But I think the first like 11 novels at least in the series are very worth reading, they were fun and interesting 😀
Livia recently posted…Sandstorm Heart by Liv Olteano
Me too! Yay! There’s like FOUR of us now, LOL. Seriously though, books 4-9 IMO are fantastic, and yeah, things started to go downhill for me in 10 and 11 (b/c youknowwho was turning into a youknowwhat), but they were still really good books.
Lol! God, yes, the turning into a youknowwhat sucked! But up until #9, I thought they were kickass, I seriously did! Maybe I didn’t totally love the whole series until the end, but hey, there were awesome reading along the way.
I’m still PO-ed at CH, but someday I hope to move on and be able to try some of her newer stuff :))
They were! And I had to stop my reread (in favor of other more pressing rereads, LOL) right before the hotel on fire one, which is my FAVORITE. Really wanting to get back to it now . . . But I CAN’T. Sign.
I recently got book one at the book exchange and am super stoked to start reading this series sometime 🙂 Awesome post Jessica!
Chene Sterckx recently posted…Mini Reviews: The Withering palace (#0.1) & Evangeline (#0.5) – Dark Faerie Tale Novella’s
Yay! I’m super stoked too. I can’t wait to hear what you think about it 😉
Oddly enough I liked the first 8 books and this was one of them (I think)…although if it had the creepy/disgusting pedophile, it would have turned me off. However, I liked it enough to keep reading but then somewhere I kinda lost interest. Maybe I should re-read this series because I’ve totally evolved as a reader, you know? But as always you deliver kick-ass reviews and I mean, ALWAYS! ♥
Cristina recently posted…At Your Beck & Call by Jane Harvey-Berrick
Thanks, dollface! And yeah, it’d be interesting to see what you think about them now. I was rereading them, and had to take a break (that has turned out to be MUCH longer than I anticipated), but I still want to finish it when I have the time.
Yes it’s true, why killing him? You know after reading the books, when I read saw the TV show I was totally lost, it’s really different. I think that’s why I stopped the TV show too after 2 seasons.
I hung on to the TV series a bit longer than that (mostly b/c ERIC), but yes, it was VERY different.
Yep, I love the whole series too, although the last few books – not so much. And yes, Eric! So much better than Bill (both in books and on TV). I had dreams about him at some point :)))
kara-karina recently posted…YA Fantasy Review: Finnikin of The Rock by Melina Marchetta
Lucky you! I would not try to wake myself up from dreams of Eric. And yeah, in both the books and the TV series, he is WAY better. It was my love of him that made the last few books so difficult—he just became such an ASS 🙁
This series is so long . Geez .lol . I’ve only watched the HBO show .
*drools, Alcide*
I think I’ll read them someday . Lovely review , Jessica
Roro recently posted…REVIEW: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Thanks, Ro! And I hope you do—they’re a LOT of fun. It is a kind of long series, but the HBO show doesn’t give Quinn 😉
*drools Quinn*
I’m not sure but I think the third book is the last I’ve read of this series…when did Eric lost his memory again? Ha, it’s been so long I don’t even remember! I meant to continue on but I got lured away by other books. I remember the dead Lafayette haha, I wondered if they made him live because the fans like him so much…I know I did. Anyway, I’m really babbling here lol. Awesome review Jessica! <3
Amir recently posted…Gushing and Ravings: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
4! Book 4 is where Eric loses him memory. And I loved TV Lafayette too. BUT I hope you pick up the series again eventually b/c (IMO) book 4 is where the series starts getting REALLY good. Thanks, Amir!
The living dead in Dallas, eh? That sounds a little too familiar (I’m in Dallas) 😛
And I’m sorry to hear the series has started to bore you. That doesn’t bode well at all. I’m not too interested in the series, but I’ve heard some mixed reviews on them! Great review, Jessica 🙂
Hafsah recently posted…Snarky Fun: A Review of HEXED by Michelle Krys
LOL. Good thing this stuff isn’t real, or you’d live where the anti-vamp churchy people are headquartered 😉
Thanks, Hafsah!
Jessica, confession time. I own the entire series and every once in a while I pick up book one, add to my pile and then shuffle it back down the list. It’s like some weird aversion thing. LOL
kimbacaffeinate recently posted…A Barricade In Hell by Jaime Lee Moyer
LOL! I do that too, but for me it’s not aversion. Something will happen to get me pumped about an unread book, but then I don’t read it immediately (I just put it in the pile), and by the time I look at it again, I’m not longer pumped. We both just need to do iiiiiittttttt 😉
I am one of those who loved the first few books and then started to get bored. I liked this one a lot too. Eric, God , I love him.
Jennifer Bielman recently posted…Kindle & Nook Freebies #85
Yeah, Eric is definitely a highlight. But then so is QUINN, and I don’t think he even shows up until book 6 or 7 😉 And Amelia. I love Amelia.
I wanted to like this series. The premise sounded so cute and it was quite original when the first in series was released. Allow me to be honest. A large part of it was that I was drawn in by the cover.
I didn’t end up liking the series at all. I don’t mind a little kinky business, but the romance portion was awkward in more than a few ways for me.
Stephanie recently posted…Review: The Monster Within by Kelly Hashway
Some times a series just doesn’t work for a person. Kind of like how a lot of people hate the covers. Personally, I love them too, but you know, to each their own 😉
I’ve just read your “Re-reads” topic and this series is one I’ve re-read more than once! These books are a lot of fun and such quick reads! I think I’ve read the first 5-6 books about 3 times each! Then I started losing a bit of interesting in them, and by book 9 I wasn’t as keen on them as I was. The last book? I was entirely unhappy about it! =( (Team Eric for the win, no surprises my fave book is #4!).
This one is the book that made me dislike Bill as a love interest and as a character, and part of the book was as you said quite disturbing. Plenty of humour to make you not dwell on the worse parts of it, thankfully!
Pili recently posted…Showcase Sunday #38!
I was entirely unhappy with book 13 too, but man, books 4-9 are my FAVORITE. Actually my favorite is whichever one the vampire hotel burns down in, but that whole run of Sookie is 4-5 stars each for me. LOVE it. And yeah, I was Team Eric even after he started turning into a jerk, and I kept holding out hope that Harris would reign it back in, but you know how that went (and book 4 was my first 5 star in the series 😉 ).
And I agree–yes, there was plenty of humor to distract while I was reading, but I’ve always been one of those people who (especially when reviewing) goes back and dwells. This was either the 3rd or 4th time I’ve read this book, and it’s also the first time I gave it less than 4 stars (b/c I started thinking about it while writing this review, and this time there was no humor to distract me). I didn’t realize how much I disliked Bill until I wrote a review either. Funny how that works, isn’t it? Anyway, always happy to meet another Sookie fan.
I was sad when Lafayette died. I liked his character! I’m one of the ones that enjoyed the first few books and didn’t enjoy the last few. Though I still have one or two to read 😉 Maybe I’ll think differently when I read those.
LilyElement recently posted…Giveaway + Cover Blitz: Ante Up by Amanda Carlson
Don’t hold your breath on that, LOL. Even the die-hard fans (like myself) weren’t happy with the last couple of books. I was sad when Lafayette died too. And the more I liked him on the TV show, the more sad I was that he wasn’t in the books 😉
I need to catch up on the TV show haha I’m so behind.
LilyElement recently posted…Giveaway + Cover Blitz: Ante Up by Amanda Carlson
The first three seasons were great (IMO). After that . . . kind of silly. BUT you can just stare at Eric Northman, and you won’t care, LOL.
