Now an HBO original series, True Blood-the New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series continues.
Except for Sookie Stackhouse, folks in Bon Temps, Louisiana, know little about vamps-and nothing about weres.
Until now. The weres and shifters have finally decided to reveal their existence to the ordinary world. At first all goes well. Then the mutilated body of a were-panther is found near the bar where Sookie works-and she feels compelled to discover who, human or otherwise, did it.
But there's a far greater danger threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings-older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves-is preparing for war. And Sookie finds herself an all-too human pawn in their battle.

Features
From Publishers Weekly
Telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse braces herself for trouble when another group of supernatural beings goes public in her disjointed [ninth] adventure (after 2008's From Dead to Worse). Following the vampires' lead, the shape-shifters decide to step out of the woodwork and announce their existence to the world. While the initial reveal goes smoothly, the brutal crucifixion of a young werepanther behind the local bar makes Sookie wonder if the people of Bon Temps, La., are as tolerant as she thought. Meanwhile, the FBI is asking questions about Sookie's uncanny ability to locate survivors after an explosion, and trouble is brewing among the secretive fae. Harris tries to cram too much into a single story, and even die-hard fans of Sookie's adventures in print and on HBO's True Blood will complain about the plot gaps. (May)

From Booklist
The Louisiana town of Bon Temps—along with the rest of the world—is about to be rocked with some big supernatural news: like the vampires before them, the Were people—humans with the ability to change into animals—are about to reveal themselves to humanity. Psychic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse is apprehensive about the revelation, given the way some people in the small town revile anyone with extraordinary powers, including Sookie herself. While the initial announcement seems to go over smoothly with most people, tragedy strikes when Sookie’s brother Jason’s estranged wife, a werepanther, is found murdered and nailed up on a cross. Jason is the prime suspect, but Sookie has even bigger problems to deal with when she learns that a vicious fairy prince is determined to kill her. Darker and more ominous than earlier entries in the series, Harris’ latest raises the stakes (pun intended) for lovable heroine Sookie and comes up a winner. With HBO’s True Blood, a�series based on Sookie’s adventures, renewed for a second season, expect demand for this latest gripping installment. --Kristine Huntley
Review
Praise for #1 New York Times�bestselling author�Charlaine Harris’s�Sookie Stackhouse novels
“It’s the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to bed, thinking you’re only going to read one chapter, and then you end up reading seven.”—Alan Ball, executive producer of True Blood
“Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu, where humans, vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries, horror stories, and romances.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging, smart, and sexy heroine.”—The Denver Post
“Blending action, romance, and comedy, Harris has created a fully functioning world so very close to our own, except, of course, for the vamps and other supernatural creatures.”—The Toronto Star

The Written Equivalent to a Little Old Lady's House: So Much Clutter
By PrincessD
Set approximately three months after the tumultuous events of the previous entry in her Sookie Stackhouse series (2008's From Dead to Worse), author Charlaine Harris' latest release, Dead and Gone, takes off full-speed ahead and never once slows down. Therein lies a very big problem with this book, though...
Unfortunately for the fans of Ms. Harris' usually-compelling series, the result of all her labor last year is just a crazy quilt of frenetic events, as heroine Sookie races from trying to put out one metaphorical fire here to saving someone else's skin (or, heaven help her, her own skin, AGAIN) from another harrowing situation there. The poor girl never gets a chance to stop and catch her breath or regain her equilibrium, and as a result, the entire story shows her behaving in very un-Sookie-like ways (almost as if she's taken way too much cold medicine and is trying desperately--but failing-- to act "normal"). Her interactions with her current boyfriend (Eric the vampire) are notably odd. Her responses to the many deaths that occur are strangely remote. She is disconnected. She isn't amused, nor (sadly) is she amusing. Actually, Sookie isn't even particularly likable here (for the first time in the series!). In short, Sookie is off-kilter in this book, and the reader is left that way, as well.
As difficult as it is to keep up with the hyper pace, Ms. Harris does manage to keep the reader engaged, albeit unsettled. Definitely the most grim and gruesome entry in the series to date, DAG offers up numerous, gratuitously-graphic deaths and horrific surprises (shocks), while also attempting to address long-standing relationship issues. Many fans will be gratified that Ms. Harris continues to show parallels between her fictionalized world and the real one, by spotlighting the harmful effects of prejudice toward persons of different races and sexual orientations. (The fact that she makes her points with a sword rather than a paring knife, figuratively speaking, is rather disturbing, however. Like so many other aspects of this book, such scenes are just uncomfortably over-the-top.)
Yet another problem is Ms. Harris' decision to go out of her way to include several auxiliary characters, no doubt to appease readers who have expressed sadness over certain characters' absence in recent books. Most of these characters are relegated to mere cameo appearances, though, so fans will likely be left rather unsatisfied in that regard; the book, meanwhile, is left with quite a lot of clutter.
Despite Ms. Harris' attempts, there is just WAY too much going on in DAG for one normal-length book, and the reader is left feeling nearly as spent and exhausted upon completing it as poor Sookie is. Hopefully after this aberration (at least, what I can only HOPE is an aberration, and not a harbinger of her future books), Ms. Harris will sit herself down in a nice comfy easy chair, with a big glass of sweet tea by her side, to peacefully contemplate an easier, more pleasant adventure for her heroine's next appearance on the bookshelves. Sookie and company--as well as the readers--deserve it.

This time, war among the fairies
By Steven Peterson
This volume is quite a bit better than the disjointed # 8. Still and all, can we not have a novel conclude without another "war"? This time, two hostile coalitions of fairies, one led by Sookie Stackhouse's great grandfather, go at it, with humans and other supernatural creatures caught up in maneuvers.
Indeed, the war brings out the reality of how the parents of Sookie and brother (now, also a werepanther) Jason drowned. And fairies were intimately involved.
We have a number of crosscutting stories here: the witches living with Sookie; the shapeshifters going public--as vampires had done earlier; the hostile response in some quarters to the preceding revelation; Eric remembering his liaison with Sookie, his knife ceremony with her (the meaning of which is unclear to Sookie: Is she now his wife?); Bill's slow return to her better (if not altogether good) graces; coming to know better her fairy relatives; the murder of Jason's estranged wife; Quinn's brief return; and on it goes. . . .
Much is happening here, as one can tell. The storyline, though, holds together better than what is almost pastiche in # 8 ("All Together Dead"). The future? She wonders which vampire Niall (great-grandfather) refers to when he says at the close (Page 312): "The vampire is not a bad man and he loves you."). What about the knife ceremony and its meaning? Is Quinn out of her life completely? What will develop between Eric and the King of Nevada, who now controls Louisiana? Eric once more shared his blood with Sookie to help her heal from the torture inflicted upon her by fairies; What might the consequences be for her? Many questions yet to be answered. . . .

The series isn't "dead and gone" yet, but this one was a disappointment
By Bewbury
First of all, I love this series and although some books are better than others, I have never been disappointed - until now. I usually read these in one sitting, no matter how late it gets, but this one was difficult to get into. I kept waiting and waiting for the book to pick-up, but that didn't happen until at least half-way through.
I have concluded that either Ms. Harris is bored with her own story, had a case of writers block & a deadline, or simply used this book to plant seeds for the next. A lot of good ideas and storylines developed but none were well-executed, or executed at all--which is unusual for CH. With that said, this book seemed disconnected, pieced together and rushed - but if you're a fan, it's worth a read, just wait for paperback or the library.
1. All of the main characters were reviewed, whether they fit into the story or not. Quinn did not need to be in this, nor did Claude, they had little significance to the story, their roles could have easily been handled by an active character. Alcide and Hunter were only mentioned due to phone calls (why bother unless prepping for the next book?), Octavia's scenario could have been executed in half a paragraph, but instead she's reintroduced several times for no real reason. The whole Crystal issue could have been significant but seemed like filler in the end because when the truth was finally revealed - no one cared, nothing else was said about it.
2. It didn't seem to tie into past books at all, other than having the same characters - who, were very much out of character (almost ALL of them) including Sookie. Usually full of spit & vinegar, she didn't seem to care about *anything* this time. Half of the book was her moping like she was in desperate need of prozac. In fact, almost all characters displayed an "Oh well" attitude, rather than real emotions that might take a moment to describe.
3. I think this book was written more as an intro to the next book rather than a stand-alone. The only explanation I can come up with for all of the incomplete characters,(kill offs) and storylines would be to open doors for the next book. For instance, what happened to the FBI? How did they improve this story? It wouldn't have been any different without them, but I have a feeling they aren't gone just yet. Same for Dermot, who's role was built up to be significant and turned out to be... not so much. As far as all of the write-offs and kill-offs, I'm wondering if we're approaching the last of the series? Quite a few people are gone after this book, unless they come back from the dead. Actually, I think more have been killed off in this book than after the explosion and nothing *that* significant even took place. Well, maybe it was supposed to be that significant, but again - just not feeling it. See below.
4. The main events that were significant seemed very rushed and not much was said about them at all. (The gardening incident, the Neave/Lochlan incident, the Claudine situation). They were all rather brief if compared to the major incidents in other books which are usually detailed and well-described, enough to get a vivid mental image. In this case, there were several times that I actually flipped back a page to see if I had missed something. But nope. That was all.
I wonder...did CH even really write this or was her story edited to death???
