I mentioned last week that the next Sookie Stackhouse novel has been released. Even though I know that Charlaine Harris is a truly troubled woman, after reading the Aurora Teagarden and Shakespeare series, I still could not wait to read this book.

The characters that we have spent so many books getting to know do not act like themselves. Eric is violent without reason and constantly needs Sookie to place her hand on him to calm him down.

What is really weird about this, is that the relationship between Pam and Eric has always seemed like a friendship based on mutual respect, even though he is her creator. Then there is Bill, who believes that Sookie would win the Miss America best tits competition. Yes, the vampire that Harris has spent so long constructing as a true southern gentleman actually said that.
