Sookie has definitely grown a pair and when it comes to a pissing contest she seems to be holding her own. She learns more about her heritage, gets a bit of space from Eric to think, is offered a relationship by Bill and of course there is lots of drama.
Every book I like her more as she struggles with her morals, being expedite in situations and still trying to do the right thing. Seeing her grow in her self awareness is just what the series needed. Looking forward to the final book in the series.

Dead In The Family by Charlaine Harris
Eric's maker shows up and he and his "offspring" are a literal drain of emotional energy. Claude moves in with Sookie which is puzzling to her but nice in a way. Her cousin Hadley's son comes for a visit which is tiring in that 5 year old energy that must be watched all the time and oh yeah, he is a telepath too.
Fast paced, made me stay up late and get up early, one of the better Sookie books I have read.

The Last King of Texas by Rick Riordan
Tres Navarre is private eye that also happens to hold a Ph.D in English Literature which is all useful when a college professor is killed and he is asked to investigate. Throw in the required bad guys, good guys and a mystery woman and a mystery is born.
The start is a bit rough, a little to much Spencerish settings but as the book goes on it grows and the last couple of chapters are really good which leave you willing to try another one. After having read the young adult novels by Mr. Riordan I was not sure what I expected. A bit more humor I think but not a bad read and I would be willing to try another one of his novels for adults.

Unbroken by Paula Morris, A Ruined Novel
Rebecca Brown returns to New Orleans where in the previous year she had befriended a ghost, helped to set her free and in the process a girl is killed by a falling stone in the cemetery. Needless to say she is not all that thrilled about returning but as with all teenage novels there is this boy....
Before she even leaves New York a ghost approaches her for help in New Orleans where he was killed. Upon arrival he appears to her again to extract a promise of help.
Several twist with the usual danger and rescue of a paranormal young teen book. A fun read that will really appeal to the middle school reader.

Written In My Own Heart's Blood by Diana Gabaldon, Outlander 8
Oh My Goodness! When you finish a book, yell at the author then have to immediately talk to someone else that has read it about it you know it is good!
A few times I had to step away as the tension was so strong it was making me feel tired. Other times I read so late at night I dreamed of Claire and Jamie.
Mrs. Gabaldon wraps things up then hangs us over a cliff, I hope she writes fast on the next one.

All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris
Sookie travels to a vampire summit with the Queen of Louisiana, Eric, Pam, He Who Does Not Exist, aka Bill, and a few others. Bonus is that Quinn, he new man, is also there working. Her talents as a telepath are needed to help Sophie Anne shore up her crumbling position after Hurricane Katrina.
Of course nothing is ever simple but Sookie has grown quite a backbone and is doing much better at protecting herself as much as possible.

A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
The early 1770s in the Colonies was a time to depend on yourself and not on any powers that be. Friends, family and neighbors were your support, and sometimes your downfall depending on how they approached a certain situation. For the families of Fraser's Ridge life is always an adventure, asked for or not.
With political winds beginning to stir Claire and Jamie must walk a fine line. Roger and Brianna also know what is to come and at times it is difficult to realize how real things are.
Fast paced with many trials and tribulations, often laced with humor. The only fault is to many lose ends seem to be tied up in the last few pages but that does not really affect the quality of the overall story.
