Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Deadlocked (Sookie Stackhouse #12)
Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on that there are things she'd rather not know. An now that she's an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she'd rather not see--like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one. There's a thing or two she'd like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet--Felipe de Castro, the vampire king of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It's the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric's front yard--especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank. Now it's up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl's fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who's set out to make Sookie's world come crashing down.Rating Regarding Books Deadlocked (Sookie Stackhouse #12)

A fair warning: this review contains mild spoilers because writing my rant without them was next to impossible. Proceed at your own risk.The Sookie Stackhouse series is dying a slow and painful death. Everybody knows it. Charlaine Harris knows it. She knew it even before she signed the deal for the last three books. Whats more, everyone whos been following the series closely can pretty much tell when she stopped caring. What started off as entertaining and steaming hot (albeit poorly written),A satisfying edition to a beloved series! Lots of resolution and a set up to a conclusion in 2013! Full review up on http://paperbackdolls.com/?p=10788Try as I may, it is almost impossible for me to review this book without mentioning some details from previous books in the series and after 12 installments, can you blame me? So, just in case you havent read the earlier Sookie adventures, consider this a warning of possible spoilers and some teasers.In many ways DEADLOCKED showcases the true
Am I the only one that thinks that Sookie ends up marrying Sam and running the bar with him? I think that vampire politics are too much for her, as are were politics, (which excludes most of her lovers like Bill, Eric and Alcide). She loves working for Sam and all the men in her life seem to think there is more going on there than Sookie is aware of. I think harris will end the series with her and Sam getting married and running the bar while Eric marries his Queen, and Bill moons around the way
Sad to say I'm not even looking forward to this one. My Book Eric mojo died a long time ago, and my TV Eric mojo died after S4 of True Blood. Boo hoo. :(----------------------------------------Well it was slightly better than expected. Things are definitely winding down and loose ends are being tied up. We're no closer to knowing who Sookie will end up with (if anyone). Whatever. I'll see her journey through to the end because after all the shit she's had to endure I want to see her happy.
Edited to add: I spent some time today (completely wasted and lost time I should add), skimming the bulk of Deadlocked and reading the last few chapters. This does not change my rating or my opinion of the book. I am relieved, however, that Harris is closing down the series and pointing Sookie toward a mate. But the method by which she is doing this stinks. ***I stopped at 26%. Nothing was happening and it is incredibly boring. These is a lot of recap, recap and recap. By now we have all read
While reading Deadlocked, the latest novel in the Sookie Stackhouse series, I was reminded of a quote by Stephen King from On Writing: "If I dont write every day, the characters begin to stale off in my mind they begin to seem like characters instead of real people. The tales narrative cutting edge starts to rust and I begin to lose my hold on the storys plot and pace. Worst of all, the excitement of spinning something new begins to fade. The work starts to feel like work, and for most writers
This was already the 12th book!!!ANDThe love carrousel is still spinning! WTH?!?! O_oWho shall it be, Miss Stackhouse?!EricBillAlcideCalvinQuinnSamDid I miss anyone?! Lets pick up the last book. Maybe that will finally bring me some clarity. *lol*
