I don’t have a lot of time on my hands these days so this is going to be short.

The 9th installment of the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Mysteries was AWESOME!  Sookie finds out some interesting information about herself and of course what she learns puts her in terrible danger, actually it puts her in the middle of another war.  She has more family than she thought but this long lost relative comes with strings attached.   He hasn’t been in contact because Sookie’s grandfather forbade it but he’s dead and now the door is open.  He doesn’t want anything to do with Sookie’s brother, and can you blame him?  Sookie knows that’s for the best because her brother would try to suck this guy dry and that would be bad.  Still she doesn’t like keeping things from her brother even though he’s a butthead.

Eric gets his memory back because they destroyed the spell book of the witch who cast the spell on him?  I think I’m remembering that correctly.  Which means he remembers everything from his time with Sookie and talk about awkward!!!  Bill is still hanging around, he still loves her and is sorry blah blah blah but she’s really hurt by what she learned at the Vampire summit.  She’s not likely to forgive him enough to invite him back to her bedroom and now that Eric has his memory back would she want to? I can’t wait to see where things go with the three of them in the next book.  The end of this book was pretty intense and I think Bill proves pretty decisively that he does love her and would do anything to keep her safe.

Sookie experiences a lot of sadness in this book.  It seems that people fall in and out of her life pretty easily and there’s not much she can do about it.  I loved getting lost in Bon Temps for a couple hours and can’t wait for the next one to come out on paperback!
