review 1: I found this final installment in the series to be... disappointing. These books center around Sookie and her vampire friends and enemies. My problem with Dead Ever After -- Where are the vampires? Yes, I know how silly that sounds. But seriously, where are they? I've read t...

review 1: This series has been dying a slow and painful death for several books now and even though there is purportedly only one book more, I just can't be bothered to spend the time or the money on it. So tired of reading about/listening to Sookie having serious thoughts while she works ...

review 1: I've been a long time reader of Charlaine Harris and know that she comes up with some quirky heroines. But Lily Bard is different and I love her. Lily is a damaged woman, both physically and emotionally, and these are dark stories. From the first in Shakespeare's Landlord to the ...

review 1: I've been reading a lot of more serious short fiction lately, so I was really in the mood for this for a change. Previous anthologies edited by this pair have been very good and full of a great mix of stories. But these all pretty much blended together and just weren't as fun and...

review 1: I was a little nervous about reading this book given the last several entries in the series. However, I have to admit, that I was pleasantly surprised and found the book generally good and even better than the last few written by Charlaine Harris herself. I wondered with each new...

review 1: Bon après être parti me coucher avec un mal de tête digne d'un lendemain de cuite (suite à la lecture de quelques malheureux chapitres de ce bouquin) je suis pas sûre d'avoir envie de finir ledit ouvrage. Ok je concède que c'est bien écrit mais la majorité des histoires sont vrai...

review 1: As far as I'm concerned, and I read the whole Sookie Stackhouse series, this short story could have stayed unpublished. I did notice a small nod to it in one of the books that came after, but really it was unnecessary. The characterization of Sookie just didn't ring true to me-...

review 1: Lily Bard is my favourite modern heroine. She is committed, down-to-earth and intelligent; not only a master sleuth, but also a character who has an unbelievable life story. Throughout the series she proved, time and time again, that she is gutsy and brave; she has overcome so mu...

review 1: For the most part this was a pretty good book, not to mention it being all different short stories. And on the other hand not a bad book to find at the Dollar Tree lol. I had bought the book though despite the price because I thought it was going to be a really great book. Have r...

review 1: A novella collection by four different authors is hard to rate. I found all of the stories to be well-written and enjoyable, but none of them would scream "Read the books in this universe!" at me if I weren't already familiar with the authors. Hence the three-star overall rating....

review 1: I have no idea how I missed this little gem! Usually when you cram 15 stories in 1 anthology you get mediocrity. Not this time. All 15 of these authors are experienced with the short story. The first 2 stories are 3 stars. Sorry, but I just can't get into Sookie. The rest are a...

review 1: I've read Charlaine Harris before in the form of the Sooke Stackhouse (true blood) series. I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The Harper Connelly series comprises of 4 books which follow Harpe and her "brother" Tolliver as they find the missing dead with H...

review 1: I especially enjoyed the novella, the interview with Charlaine Harris, and the plot summaries of each book. I read the books as they were published and sometimes it took me awhile to remember who all the characters were. The correspondence between Eric and Bill was a nice touch t...

review 1: like any anthology it suffers from the problems of stories that are too similar, there are two stories featuring cops being told about the supernatural by other cops who have a hidden agenda, stories fitting in gaps between novels you have never read, stories that have only the l...

review 1: Very cute vampire Christmas story. I don't remember Dahila and Taffy from the Sookie books but enjoyed the story quite a bit.Would have liked to know who they were related to the vampires in the books we do know, but the story did establish they had their own sheriff a group of t...

review 1: I binge read these when I was sick this month. I don't think binge reading is the way to go with this series. There is A LOT of exposition in these books. I know authors have to do that, but I can only take so many paragraphs that go over the same thing that happened in the past....

review 1: This book was the perfect introduction to the Sookie Stackhouse novels, I'll definitely be picked up the first book in the series as I enjoyed this so much. The short stories featured were just the right length, not so short as to leave parts out but not too long that they became...

review 1: I tried to watch "True Blood" before even reading these books, and could not stand the show for very long--too pornographic for my taste. However, I was very interested in finding some light reading books, and I always enjoy reading about vampires and other supernatural phenomena...

review 1: I have actually read this entire series, but i'm not about to go through each one individually. What can you really say about vampire fiction? Its easy, everything-is-on-the-surface reading. Sookie is a very likable character. Quinn is a total creep. Eric is the guy women want to...

review 1: I was actually impressed, not with the writing of course, but with the magic realism in books 2-8. It also was better than many "series" books I've read where the stories are basically recycled versions of each other (the Janet Evanovich series for one). While the conflicts we...
