Oooh, nice review! Can't wait to read this one, I'm a huge fan of Souther Vampires Series. :)
Thanks Wendy...you don't want to miss it! :)
Ooh, I wish I could read this book! Unfortunately at the moment I'm nowhere near where it's being sold, and I can't buy it online right now either. :(
I mope greatly over my inability to sink my claws into one of Charlaine's great books.
I'd be moping as well. :( Hope you're able to be somewhere that you can pick it up soon Alyssa. This is one of those series where I devour the book the minute I get it, and then when there's a little free time I read through it again. :)
OMG, me too! I re-read my favorite moments from the favorite books, like Southern Vamp series!
It's amazing how much more you get out of a book the second time around too. :)
Lol, yeah.
Who's your favorite "guy" character in the S.V. series? I personally hope Sookie will finally end up with Eric. Though Quinn isn't bad either, Eric just adds the edge-n-spice element to the whole romance thing going on in S.V. books.
When I was reading "Dead to the world" I just KNEW it would end the way it ended! I felt all angsty in advance. ^o^
My first pick would be Eric as well. While Sookie has some powerful friends, she's made some powerful enemies as well. Then again, who knows who she'll meet in upcoming books. :)
Another great Sookie installment! I loved this book and it is being lent out to all my friends who I managed to get hooked on this series!
I agree. I also hope that in the upcoming "True Blood" TV series they won't pick all the wrong actors, especially for the Eric character. He's got to be a walking, talking glory or I, along with other chick fans, will be really disappointed. Lol.
Don't you just dread it when they start making TV shows by our favorite books?
Last I saw it was supposed to be Alexander Skarsgard as Eric.
Some of the TV/Cable series they do of them are good, it's just hard not to be watching for everthing they change about the stories you enjoy.
Amberkatze - How can they stand not having their own set of books!? lol This is a series that will always have space on my bookshelves. :)
Some of them are waiting for th German version because they started reading the series in that language. The German translation of most books takes about 6 months...
Ahha! I actually got a friend in Germany hooked on this series as well (she had run out of werewolf reads and wanted something new). I guess 6 months is a bit like torture for them. :(
