Dead As A Doornail : A True Blood Novel

Dead as a Doornail
Bok av Charlaine Harris
Sookie's got just a month, before the next full moon, to find out who wants her brother dead - and to stop the fiend! Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends. Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter. Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first. The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night.
Det här är femte boken om Sookie Stackhouse och hennes övernaturliga vänner. Någon skjuter på hamnskiftarna, och misstankarna riktas mot Sookies bror Jason. Samtidigt verkar det som att någon är ute efter att döda Sookie, och hon förstår verkligen inte varför.
Trots att det gått flera år sedan jag läste de första fyra böckerna hade jag inga problem att komma in i handlingen. Jag älskar att läsa om alla övernaturliga varelser i den här lilla staden, men även om Sookies vardagliga liv och kärleksbekymmer. Jag ser fram emot att fortsätta läsa serien.
