This book was disappointing...not enough intrigue or suspense. Harris failed to develop Sookie's relationships with Quinn, Eric and Bill. (I think she took the easy road here) She failed to develop Bob the cat's storyline (weak), as well as Sookie's relationship with her great-grandfather (superficial). Harris introduced some new characters, but they were mundane, they come out of left-field (?). I don't think she had a clear picture of what she wanted to write...Harris may have given into the pressure of producing a book on a deadline, if so this book was not a Sookie story...I don't know what it was. I'm disappointed. The book was mediocre, with the sense that Harris was trying to wipe the slate clean, which is ridiculus because the characters are already a part of the storyline and should remain so. For example, the Queen, Siegebert, Quinn and Bill are barely even mentioned in this book. Two are killed off, one is dismissed and one is ? (have no idea). These characters make the books interesting, along with Sookie, Pam, Eric and Sam, and to find a quick resolution was a cop out. Makes me wonder about book 9.
