Dead in the Family (Sookie Stackhouse, #10)

by Charlaine Harris

If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being, who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton. In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.

It took me awhile to get around to it because I didn't want to read it before the next one came out for the fear I'd forget what happened. I love this series, I'd forgotten how quick of a read they were. I can't wait to get the next one. I adore Eric so having things involve him more is awesome, I just hope nothing horrible happens between them...I am kind of tired of Sookie exploring all the males in her supernatural neighborhood (probably because I'm bias). I really want to see how the BVA and Shifter thing turns out too, so far everything has been pretty believable on that aspect.
