Dead
to the World
Sookie
Stackhouse Series, Book 4
Southern Vampire Series
by Charlaine Harris
In
the past, Eric, who is a vampire, has never been nice, gentle or
vulnerable. However, all of a sudden he is, and when Sookie, a psychic
barmaid, finds Eric, he is running for his life. Unfortunately,
Eric can't tell her what he is running from or why or anything else,
because his memory is gone. Although Eric has been nothing but a
threat to Sookie in the past, she can't but help this version of
Eric, and begins by opening her own investigation as to who Eric
is escaping from. Sookie's investigation leads her over her head
into the world of supernaturals, including witches, vampires and
werewolves. Sookie must decide if she is willing to give up everything
to help Eric and, if she is, is she also willing to lose her heart
to him?
Dead
to the World is the best book in the series so far. Eric, who
I have liked in previous books despite myself, now becomes irresistible.
While I do like Bill, Sookie's usual boyfriend, I find Eric intriguing,
and he is the main reason I liked this book as much as I did. I
also really enjoy the world Harris has created, and find it very
easy to suspend my disbelief to spend time there. The writing is
crisp with sly wit and humor throughout the whole story. Dead
to the World is a wonderful book that kept me engaged until
the very last word.
