Well, I’ve now read (listened to) Dead and Gone twice, by Charlaine Harris, and loved where the author took Sookie in her latest installment.   (This is the 9th installment.)  This definitely is a darker novel than the previous ones.  However, considering the supernatural beings Sookie is related to and has chosen to associate with, some of the darker things that happen in this novel are kind of just par for the course of life in Sookie’s world.  Some were hard to read, some were sad, many questions were answered and, in the end, Sookie appeared to be stronger in character than ever before.

I really don’t want to go into much detail here, as there may be some who stumble upon this page who haven’t read the book and want to.  For those who haven’t read any of the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mysteries, I say to treat yourself and start with the first one, Dead Until Dark, by Charlaine Harris.  For me, they were kind of hard to put down and kept reading one after another.  I only wish Charlaine Harris could write them as fast as her fans can read them!
