Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

Don't read this review if you haven't read the first books in this series, as it may contain spoilers!

Club Dead is the third book in the Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris. Here is a synopsis from Goodreads:

"There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with (at least voluntarily) and that's Bill. But recently he's been kind of distant - like in another state distant. Bill's sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him, which is why Sookie ends up in Jackson, Mississippi, mingling with the under-underworld at Club Dead. It's a dangerous little haunt where the elitist vamps can go chill and chow on some prime flesh. But when Sookie finally finds Bill - caught in an act of serious betrayal - she's not sure whether to save him, or sharpen some stakes."

I really liked Club Dead a lot. I love that Eric has more of a role now. He's definitely my favorite character. I realize that Charlaine Harris is trying to show that it's dangerous for Sookie to be Bill's girlfriend, but come on! Nobody gets beat up that many times in just a few months. It's teetering on the edge of over the top and lame. I still liked the book, but I'm liking Bill less and less. I think Sookie should leave him for Eric! His morals may be questionable, but he is incredibly sexy. Yum! I can't wait to read the next book! This book counts for the Nest Summer Book Challenge as well.

4.5 out of 5 stars
