Dead Reckoning by Charlaine HarrisAce, 2011
Fantasy; 336 pgs
I nearly rushed out to buy and read Harris' latest Southern Vampire Series book featuring Sookie Stackhouse, but I didn't. The book came out during a time when I wasn't reading all that much. I kind of had my hands full with a newborn and a move. I did eventually get myself a copy of the book though and finally got around to reading it in November.
I had a little trouble getting into the book initially, but once I did, it felt good visiting my old friends again. Knowing the end of the series is near, I find myself speculating about how the author will end it. Who will Sookie end up with? I have my doubts about her current beau. I know who I want her to end up with. Although I changed my mind twice as a read Dead Reckoning. Not that there is any mention of her switching up mates in the book--it was just where my mind took me as I read.
In this latest installment, Sookie finds herself the target of a woman bent on revenge, trying to uncover the purpose of a hidden treasure left behind by her grandmother, and exploring her fae heritage. I was pleased to see a couple of favorite characters from another of Harris' series make an appearance in Bon Temps. As I've come to expect with this series, Dead Reckoning was light and entertaining. I am looking forward to the final book in the series with both sadness and anticipation.

ReplyDeleteI need to get started with this series in the new year. I have the first book just sitting here waiting for me, looking all forlorn because it has sat here for so long :(
ReplyDeleteGreat review on this one. You have enticed me to get started!
I read the first book in this series and didn't love it. I think I need to give the series another chance, since so many other people love it.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read any of this series and I know I need to!
