That's what happened to me, I started the 9th one and never finished it. I'll definitely give it a go again later this year but it felt the same way.

I thought it was ok, I think I liked the story better when she was with Bill and not Eric. I wonder if the TV shows is distracting her from the books because it just doesn't feel the same. I don't know, it's loosing something but I can't put my finger on it. All I can think is that it feels tired, you know what I mean?
