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.
Another solid Sookie Stackhouse novel where you learn a bit more about the key characters in the series. It's a quick, escape read.
The novel was a bit disappointing because there were so many story lines happening at once--Eric and his Mysterious Visitors, Sookie's New Stalker, Sookie's New Roommate, Sookie and more Werewolf Problems plus political issues with Shifter/Were rights. It was a lot to be happening in one book.
