What I am reading now (8)

So I am a little behind with updating with what I am reading so to summarize I have read all the Sookie Stackhouse books (LOVE THEM WANTING MORE!) and I just finished Linger..... So I am now on the path to finishing the House of Night series and as of right now I am in Chosen....

Redbird, leader of the Dark Daughters and vampyre fledgling extraordinaire, has discovered some mysterious and disturbing events occurring at her vampyre finishing school. Her ex-roommate and best friend, Stevie Rae, is "undead" and only due to Zoey's love and belief that she still possesses some humanity has Stevie Rae not become a true monster. Zoey must quickly find a way to reverse what has been done to her before it is too late. To complicate matters, Zoey is forced to keep this a secret from her friends and has been betrayed by her mentor and advisor, Neferet. Zoey knows that Neferet is behind the creation of these "undead" creatures and is not at all what she seems. For help, she turns to her rival, Aphrodite, who becomes her confidante and partner in crime. Horror strikes the House of Night when two professors end up brutally murdered.

True Blood Season 3 Episode 1 Review!!!

FINALLY!!!! I have been waiting for this season to start forever! I am not gonna lie I was camped out in front of my TV since 6 just waiting for it to come on. However it was well worth the wait and I was surprised to find there was a pre show and post?? Love it these people definitely know my addiction!! So now that I am done gushing how about I get to the review? Just to let you all know there will be SPOILERS in my review so if you have not seen it yet.... I suggest you watch =)

First of all I want to discuss the relation to the first episode to the book. I was a little thrown off because I was surprised that it did not relate as much as I thought. However as any good show they do have to build up to the suspense so I will wait before I make my final verdict. Now as all of you know I have an obsession with Eric (yummy!) So when we got to see him.... all of him... I melted lol! I am really enjoying they are showing more of the vampires this season (so far) there is more development with Eric, Pam, the Queen, Jessica, and Bill. I am curious if they are going to go with the same theme as the book as too why Bill went "Missing", I hope.


Now I am a little sick of the drama with Tara, I do not know if it is just me or if anyone else finds the story line with here the same? Heartbroken blah! I feel they either need to mix her in with the vampires or drop her because personally I am bored. Sam's story line is really interesting I really cant wait to see if his family is like him and where that takes him. I also can not wait to see where Lafayette and this V selling is gonna go with the Vampire council. Finally I wanna talk about how awesome I think it is that they use real wolves for the werewolves! I also can not wait until they get to the Were-Bar. Basically too sum up I am really excited for the rest of this season and I am sad I have to wait until Sunday =( But until then I shall leave you with a yummy vampire thats mine lol =P

So What Did You Think?

Happy Watching =)

Bestseller Harris mixes humorous Southern-fried fantasy with biting satirical commentary in her seventh novel to feature Sookie Stackhouse, the bubbly telepathic barmaid from Bon Temps, La. (after 2006's Definitely Dead). Sookie attends an all-important central U.S. vamp summit on the shores of Lake Michigan as a "human geiger counter" for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of a Louisiana weakened by Katrina and who will be tried during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders, not to mention protests by the Fellowship of the Sun, a right-wing antivampire movement. Her sleuthing skills, along with those of her new telepath friend, Barry the Bellboy, are put to the extreme test. Harris juggles a large cast, including several romantic contenders for Sookie's heart, with effortless exuberance. HBO's True Blood, based on this addictive series, is scheduled to begin its TV run this fall

This book definitely set the standard for how awesome this series is getting! This book starts off with Sookie being summoned to a Summit for the Vampires where she has to be at the queens side to help prove her innocence. This book is jammed packed with so much action that I could not wait to read more and more, and to me thats how a book ought to be! I also thought the character development got stronger with the characters especially Sookie and her roommate Amelia (who I am liking more and more!)

Also this book definitly got on my good side mainly because there was more and more Eric in it (and we all know how much I love him!!!). This plot was a lot better than the previous book like I said I could not stop reading. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time =) This was the most action packed book so far in the series and I think all you Vamp fans out there will be real pleased with the result! I know I was =P

Review: Definitely Dead

• Title: Definitely Dead
  
• Author: Charlaine Harris
  
• Reading level: Adult
  
• Publisher: Ace Books (May 2, 2006)
• Paperback: 324 pages
• Received From: Bought
  
• Genre: Fantasy/Science Fiction

Sookie Stackhouse once tried to keep her mind-reading capabilities secret, but the word is definitely out in Bon Temps, Louisiana, her hometown, leading local police to call on her to help find a missing child. There's a new man, were-tiger Quinn, in the picture, too, but on their first date, two were-people attack them. Sookie isn't sure whether she or Quinn was the target but is soon distracted by a more pressing problem. Cousin Hadley, a vampire, has been murdered, and Sookie has inherited her apartment, meaning she has to go to New Orleans to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death and meet with Hadley's lover, the Vampire Queen herself. Though not quite as driven as past entries in Harris' Southern Vampire series--Sookie doesn't get to New Orleans until a third of the way in--this is a gratifying read for Sookie's fans because of a major surprise for Sookie about one of her old lovers

I am not going to lie I was not impressed by this book in this series, I think some other titles in this series were much better. However non the less this did continue on with the series and it did not stay which was very nice. When continuing on with Sookie's crazy world this book brings you into New Orleans where Sookie goes to clear out her cousins Hadley's apartment. This is when Sookie is brought into the world of Vampire Royalty, she has to visit the queen and learn the truth about Hadley's death. Along with all that Sookie has to figure out her relationship with Quinn the hunky tiger, and gets caught up in a war, talk about a vacation!

So now that your up to speed with the summary of the book let me fill you in on what I think =) Personally it was not one of my favorites, however it still kept me reading. I think the best part about the book was when Sookie went to meet the queen, everything else seemed like fillers. The plot seemed to be what killed it for me, the character development was great and the scenery was depicted well however the plot was wah wah wahhhhh. However as I said before it kept me reading and believe me the next books were great! So keep on reading my friends keep on reading!
