  <default_description>When Sookie's brother Jason's eyes start to change, she knows he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. But her concern becomes cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population-and Jason's new panther brethren suspect he may be the shooter. Now, Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks, unless the killer decides to find her first.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Ahhh so much Eric ;D and he wasn't an amnesiac this time! <br/><br/>I loved the mystery throughout this one, it kept me constantly guessing and was tied up really well at the end. I'd totally forgotten about Hot Rain, and I thought the shooter might have been the aggressive V juice-peddling chick ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46579737">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At this point, the novelty of little Southen Sookie is starting to wear thin. Harris has clearly established that &quot;any woman worth her salt&quot; does sensible things, is tough, doesn't put up with anyone's crap, and can clean a mean house. Thank you, 1952!<br/><br/>But I think if one looks d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42876194">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I got through this one too quickly. I'm reading this series with a co-worker of mine, and she is chiding me for going so fast. Oh, well.<br/><br/>Sookie, oh, Sookie.

Her brother is showing all of the signs of becoming a were-panther and the timing couldn’t be worse—a sniper has apparently set sights on the shapeshifting population of Bon Temps.

    <body><![CDATA[This series is a flat-out BLAST to read.  Harris does a great job with her dialogue--she has me talking, OUT LOUD, to my book as I'm reading (my co-workers think I'm nuts) but honestly, you can't help it at times!  It's so easy to feel such a sense of immediacy with Sookie, you might as well be gett...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47430160">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I missed the romance aspect in this one, and the fact that all the characters seemed to be forced apart and stuck in various places--Sam was grumpy, Jason was worried, Bill was mostly absent, Eric was at the bar, and Calvin was stuck in the hospital.
