I am on book 2 woohoo and loving it! I love sookie and omg how funny is pam in this book. Eric is still sounding as yummy as ever. I am totatlly in love and now wondering why it took me forever to read them.

So book one was pretty spot on to the tv show, though I am loving the books discriptions of the characters more in the book! Though I think the tv picked perfectly for the main characters!

I am about half way through book 2 and I was sad to see lafayette die :(. Reading this series makes me want to first watch season 1 again hehe, 2nd I want to start writing again and 3rd I want to read the series as quick as I can hehe.

Just finished book two and wow!!!! I love this series! How awesome is Eric and Pam. Just wanted to share as I start on book 3 :-)


message 6: by C.C. (new)

C.C. (cchartley) | 26 comments Pam is awesome. She's my hero. Eric is to die for. My absolute favorite character. I believe I read book 4 like 4 times because of him.

Stephanie Greenhalgh (stfany2002) | 53 comments I also read the fourth book numerous times...love me some sweet amnesia Eric...lol! If you loved book four, Rebecca just wait until book 7!!! When the new ones come out, I dont do anything until I've finished the newest publication. My husband is on his own for food and I don't participate in any household chores until I've read it from cover to cover! But since I don't do anything, I have it read in a day...lol! And you may think that Sook and Alcide belong together, but that will change...just wait until you meet the next hunk!!!

Book five is done and yes I can see that Alcide was not the right choice lol. I can now see why they compare this series to the Anita Blake series....Wow, all these very hunky men hehe.
I didn't get to sleep until 1am this morning as I had to finish book five lol. So excited for book six :-)
Pam is so funny and has some great moments, I love it. Even though I
liked Eric in book 4, I think I like cheek, know who he is Eric more lol. I think he has the biggest heart for a vamp, much bigger then Bill's. He was doing little things like the flowers, the driveway etc before and he didn't 'seem to want anything in return :-) plus I love his sense of humor...no wonder Pam turned out great when he made her lol.


message 9: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Greenhalgh (stfany2002) | 53 comments I love Pam, too! I find her wicked humor in the books to be a tad more amusing than the show, but I think the actress who portrays her does a fantastic job! And yes, the sweet and kind Eric is enduring to a point, but I prefer the arrogant sherriff to the quiet soft spoken amnesiac...lol! He takes care of his things...just wait until you get to 'see' his home!!! Where are you now?

I am a few chapters into book eight woohoo! This is one series I just can't put down! I am so excited every time I pick up a new book hehe. I honestly think they did a great job on the show in picking the characters, it makes reading it now easy instead of being frustrated, like I was with vampire diaries, urgh!
I did like Quinn for a while but that boy seemed as though he had a few to many secrets also. I am glad she ends up with Eric, it seems so natural. I cant wait until I get up to that bit hehe.
I know there is another book coming out this year but is it the last book of the series?


message 11: by Stephanie (new)

Stephanie Greenhalgh (stfany2002) | 53 comments So funny, I liked Quinn at first, too! But then all his secrets started to surface, and he wasn't so great anymore. I believe there are 3 more including the one this year. I am feeling like I need to do a little rereading...the 8-11 in preparation for the next one.

The last few seem a little foggy and I want to make sure I am up-to-date for the newest one, because she should get down and dirty here soon as she plans to wrap up the series. Right now, I am very caught up in first book in The Song of Ice and Fire series, The Games of Thrones, though...lol. AND there are 6 books in that series. At least I can read a Sookie novel in a day or two depending on how much time I can devote to reading.

Once you finish the series we can talk about how she will wrap it up...
According to her webpage, she will never turn Sookie and she will never create a vampire/human baby. I don't want Sookie to grow old while Eric stays young and I hate to think of Eric and Sookie not being together. Unless, she pairs Sookie with Sam @ the end...I do like that little shifter...
Things to think about;-)

I am half way through book nine and I was wondering if maybe sookie is a little more Fae then human or something like that. It would be awesome if she could atleast live a few hundred years lol.
I dont want to see sookie with anyone else :( I am so loving Eric hehe even if he did trick her into marrying him lol. I am ok with the idea of no babies (though it is sad) but they need to have a long happy live together.

I had to reply because I am now onto book ten but I was wondering if maybe Eric could be turned back into a human? some kind of gift to sookie or something...I cant help but think that would be almost like the perfect ending :D He could walk in the sun, age, give her children...I am now hoping beyond hope that is the way it ends hehe

Eva King I've received Deadlocked!!! I'm so exited, I need to read Deadreckoning again because It's been a year since I've read it...Wishh there was more books like this once, most of the paranormal are for YA, even though I like reading then they lack a bit of...spice!

Kirsty Bicknell (kirsty_vizard) | 38 comments Just finished Deadlocked! Really enjoyed it :-) . . . .but thought it was different somehow . . . . .maybe you could get back to me????

I will as soon as I finish it! I haven't started it, but I plan to read it tomorrow! I wasn't going to pick it up yesterday. I found the last three fae centered books a little tedious and didn't enjoy them as much as the pre-fae storyline in the beginning. But after reading the inset I just had to buy it! I hope it is more vampire, were, witch related vs. fae. I'll be honest, I'm not overjoyed to see that Bill and Sook team up, though...

Have you started Deadlocked yet??? I have not, but plan to sit my tushy on the couch tomorrow and don't plan to move until I read it from cover to cover:-)

I just started From Dead to Worse again...I need to reread the last four...I sort of glazed over the fae storyline. But that will not stop me from reading Deadlocked first! Can't wait to see what happens now that her blood bond with Eric is broken!

C.C. (cchartley) | 26 comments OMG I totally missed the published date. Just downloaded it. Sorry Steve, Eric's got my attention.


message 20: by C.C. (new)

C.C. (cchartley) | 26 comments I just finished Deadlocked. I want to cry. Don't know if it's from withdrawal or from what happened in the book.

It is so good. Just have to wait another year for the final sookie book.


message 21: by B.C. (new)

B.C. (sirrom) | 32 comments Finished Deadlocked (and will almost immediately re-read it) I feel Sookie has grown up a lot since we first met her. Things kind of ending abruptly. I wonder how Mrs. Charlaine Harris will even start the next book?

Wondering how many have read the sookie series now. I can't beleive how long i have to wait until the next and final? one is out. I want to know what happens lol


message 27: by Naomi (new)

Naomi (nomispp) | 14 comments I have read all the books except for the last one, Deadlocked. The books were really good at the start and I thought it was a bit of a roller coaster after that, lots of ups and downs, but I still love it!! But I think I want to read the last two together... what do you think???
