I found it, Dead Reckoning, May 2011. I just had to go through your site a little further to find it. I just love your web site…I can find everything here for ideas of what to read. I did have another question. It seems that books come out sooner to if you have a kindle or similar reader, is that true? And if so…how much sooner do you get it before the books are in the store?

Hi Louise! Thank you so much for giving me your insight on the novels. It’s so interesting that we all have different takes on what happened or should happen. I do admit I’m loyal to Eric, and think his character will prove to be MUCH more then just the “Bad Boy” or unfeeling, self-centered male he portrays himself to be.

I DO think whatever he was doing while Sookie was being tortured was important in the grand scheme of things, and I think he already had the “rescue her” part covered, which is why he didn’t show up himself. Do you remember all the times in the past books that he rescued her, or was there for her when Bill was not, or couldn’t be?

I agree with you both about Bill and Sam. They both love her (I thought Bill was horrible when he left Sookie in past books) but considering the circumstances of his own blood bond, guess us mere humans just couldn’t understand it

I also agree that Sam would probably be the most suited to her needs (and it’s obvious she is attracted to him), but come on…when was the perfectly nice and sweet one, the “chosen” one (tee hee!!) Considering Sookie’s knack (and obvious love for) finding danger (just look at her very first attraction – a Vampire!), I hope to see the story continue with Eric.

But you know…come to think of it…I’m a sucker for a story with a love triangle (keeps the reading interesting), so I hope there will always be some emotional turmoil, no matter who she ends up with. If she just ends up with Eric, happily ever after, where’s the fun in that? Right?

Let’s see… the next book comes out May 2010, called “Dead in the Family”. From the synopsis, I have a feeling I will like it, but since I had NO clue what was going to happen after this book, the synopsis has already revealed a few spoilers (ack!)

Hi Maryse, here are my comments on how I view this book.
I really like the Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels.
At the beginning of Dead and Gone, we follow Sookie in a normal life; the kind of life I think she would like to have. But, with all her supernatural friends, it is unlikely to happen. And she knows it.
The reasons she gives Quinn to stop seeing him shows that she is looking for a man with whom she can share her whole life. She does not want a part-time lover.
Considering this, it is quite normal that she is not certain of her feelings towards Eric. It is true that she likes the sex with him (but so did she with Bill and Quinn), and the blood bond may actually have something to do with her attraction to him.
I like the way Sam is upset when he finds out she is still seeing Eric. I think he really loves her and that eventually she will have to face the fact that he may be more than her boss or just a friend. He may very well be her true love. At least, with him she would really have the kind of live she is dreaming of. A man that loves and respects her, that she can be with day and night, and with whom she can have children.
As for Bill, he probably is the one who loves her most, and because of that love, all he wants is for her to be happy, with or without him. He proves that his love has not limit.
And what about Eric who, even though he could feel that she needed him when she was kidnapped and tortured by the fairies, did not come to her rescue right away because he was tied up with something else. Will she really understand as he believes she will?
Do you know when the next book is due to come out?
