Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris

Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, #9)

by Charlaine Harris

Now it's the turn of the weres and shifters to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world.

Sookie Stackhouse already knows about them, of course - her brother turns into a panther at the full moon, she's friend to the local Were pack and Sam, her boss at Merlotte's bar, is a shifter.

At first the great Were revelation seems to go well - then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found outside Merlotte's. Though Sookie never cared that much for the victim, no one deserves such a horrible death, so she agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer.

But what Sookie doesn't realise is that there is a far greater danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps: a race of unhuman beings, older, more powerful and far more secretive than the vampires or the werewolves is preparing for war ...

Poor Sookie. In Dead and Gone she gets pulled into fae politics because of her allegiance to her great-grandfather, and her enemies are very powerful. Eric is still having trouble with the Louisiana take-over, and mostly Bill is just being Bill. Starting this book the Sookie Stackhouse is taking a bit of a different direction I think, with really bad things happening to Sookie. I think the supernatural world is just getting a bit too much for her.
