Synopsis
The new Sookie Stackhouse novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Dead as a Doornail.
Spiked with a "frothy fusion of romance, mystery, and fantasy" (Publishers Weekly), this "deliciously fiendish...increasingly riotous series" (Dallas Morning News) sends the supernaturally gifted cocktail waitress to New Orleans, where she has to deal with the legacy of one of her own family and a host of potentially dangerous characters.
Publishers Weekly
In bestseller Harris's perky sixth Southern Vampire novel to star Sookie Stackhouse (after 2005's Dead as a Doornail), the telepathic waitress of Bon Temps, La., is off to (pre-hurricane) New Orleans to close out her dead cousin Hadley's apartment. Hadley's death six weeks earlier had been unexpected, since, as a vampire, she was already dead. Still, she'd led a lively existence as the main squeeze of the Queen of Louisiana, an omnisexual vampire, whose political marriage to the King of Arkansas occurred the night before Hadley's demise. Sookie and Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady and a pretty cool witch, immediately discover a mess of trouble left behind in Hadley's closet, and Sookie's soon neck-deep in even more. Though most of the intrigue doesn't come till halfway through, Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets. Alan Ball, the creator of HBO's Six Feet Under, plans to shoot a TV pilot based on the series later this year. 12-city author tour. (May) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Biography
A former weight lifter and karate student, Charlaine Harris wanted to be a writer from an early age. While her earliest works consisted primarily of poems about ghosts and teenage angst, her bestselling mysteries like Dead as a Doornail have a bit more bite.

Opening a bunch of presents is a wonderful way to start off this new month.
I'm so pleased to be able to read this next book (for me at least) in the Southern Vampires / Sookie Stackhouse series right away.
And, I just love the sparkly tiger on the front cover.

Ok, I like Quinn. Of Sookie's many love interests, it seems like I always end up liking the shifters (I really dislike both Bill and - sorry, Jess - Eric). I do hope that she manages to stay with Quinn and not have this be a one-book-stand like so many of her others.
