First Thought when Finished: Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris had a very strong (and enjoyable) mystery and the characters are starting to grow on me!
First Thought When Finished: Thank you Bon Temps and Charlaine Harris for all the good times over the years! You will be missed!
NOTE: I realize I am probably in the minority but I actually like how the end scene worked. I thought it held very true to who Sookie Stackhouse was from the beginning. She never wanted to be owned, controlled, or a side character in her own life. Even half way through the series, she was repeating that mantra…..

Also I think it was a reread review too. Clearly I wasn’t far along in the series when I reread it or my Bill reaction would have been stronger aka mentioned): This book is a very good introduction book. It pretty much introduces most of the main characters used throughout the series. Of course, some of them are just in passing (not enough Eric–but that is a theme until later)! She has a good way of letting you know how they think, why they react the way they do, and let’s you really get immersed in the town of Bon Temps. This is a must read for anyone who likes PNR with a cheeky twist! ReRead Review 2013: First Thought When Finished: I swear I now ReRead Dead until Dark going: Oh look Bill is an ass!

Hi Y’all! It is November and that is always the month I am reminded that there are tons of things that I am thankful for in my life. This year November will be known as the Month of Thanks. I am going to do 30 days of Thanks here on Geeky Bloggers Book Blog! Each day I will highlight one author (and the book they wrote that moved me) and one blogger (and their awesomeness) that I am thankful for! These are not in any particular order and by no means is 30 going to cover everyone that I love. I am thankful for Charlaine Harris and her Sookie Stackhouse series. I am sad there is only one more book but I loved how Deadlocked set everything in motion for the last book. I know that some people thought it was slow but I really enjoyed it. I was glad to see that some stories were wrapped up and others really kicked into “last stand” kind of mode 🙂 Sookie has a murder investigation on her hands. A young girl has died at a vampire party – and it looks as though her lover, Eric, might be responsible. Eric swears […]
