From Dead to Worse (Audiobook Download)

From Dead to Worse (Southern Vampire #8) by Charlaine Harris

Start: 12.26.08
Finish: 12.28.08

I finished this up over the weekend while C played GoW2 & I knit.

I'm sad to be caught up with this series. I just adore Sookie.

While I enjoyed this book, it wasn't my all-time favorite. This book seemed to be setting up the next few books - which drives me crazy . . . I'd like to have a series book be able to sort of stand on it's own . . . these cliff hangers are driving me up the wall!!

Sookie just kept getting in one sticky situation after another & her life is just in turmoil right now. Quinn followed in Bill's footsteps & screwed up big-time. The whole "supe" world is in on shaky ground - to put it mildly. The only good thing in the book is that Eric finally remembers :)

May is such a long way off . . .

All Together Dead (Audiobook Download)

All Together Dead (Southern Vampire #7) by Charlaine Harris

Start: 12.23.08
Finish: 12.26.08

I'm a little sad that I'm just about caught up on this series. Just one more book to go . . .

What a mess Sookie has found herself in. While I still like Quinn, Eric is just amazing with Sookie.

Definitely Dead (Audiobook Download)

Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire #6) by Charlaine Harris

Start: 12.18.08

Sookie definitely finds herself in a messy situation. I really like Quinn, but Eric is still my favorite.

85. Zen and the Art of Vampires

Zen and the Art of Vampires (Dark Ones Book 7) by Katie MacAlister

Start: 12.21.08
Finish: 12.22.08

I liked this book a lot, but the cliff hanger at the end is what prevented a 5-star rating. I was so frustrated at the end of this book . . . I can hardly wait for the next book to come out. . . which isn't until this summer.

Dead As A Doornail (Audiobook Download)

Dead As A Doornail (Southern Vampire #5) by Charlaine Harris

Start: 12.16.08
Finish: 12.18.08

This book had quite a few twists and turns in it.

Sookie's love life seems to be up in the air right now. Plus, they added a new man in the mix. Quinn seems to be a nice addition to her choices.

I'm still firmly in the Eric camp though.

Vampirates: Tide of Terror (Audiobook Download)

Vampirates: Tide of Terror by Justin Somper

Start: 12.07.08
Finish: 12.16.08

Great 2nd book. Connor seems to have figured out his destiny & Grace seems to be where she wants to be. It should be interesting to see where things go with the next book.

84. Bite - Anthology

Bite Anthology

Start: ?
Finish: 12/16/08

Again, I skipped Hamilton's story.

I requested the book for Davidson, and got a surprise with a (very) short Sookie story. The other two stories were a quick fun read too. I especially enjoyed Angela Knight's story.

83. Cravings - Anthology

Cravings Anthology

Start: ?
Finish: 12/15/08

I skipped Hamilton's story, as I want to read the series from the beginning.

I requested this for Davidson (I love Queen Betsy), but I enjoyed the rest of the stories as well. I especially liked Rebecca York's story.

Start: 12.01.08

Stryker's Story

I loved this book Stryker & Zephyra were great. I liked seeing a softer side to Stryker. And Nick . . . wow, what a twist on him.

Dark Possession (*Audio CD)

Dark Possession by Christine Feehan

Manolito & Mary Anne's story.

I read this book back in January, but decided to listen to it on audiobook. I'm really enjoying it this time around, although it took a little while to get used to the male/female narrators.
