Dead Reckoning

This is the most recently released Southern Vampire Mystery book by Charlaine Harris. While I enjoy these characters, I'll be glad to take a break from them for a spell.

In Dead Reckoning, Sookie's fairy family are still living with her and she discovers a special "fairy" artifact in the attic that she is quite curious about. Sookie is still blood bound to Eric and she questions their true love or if their love is spurred on by the blood bond. Someone is out to get Sookie, again. Unfortunately, Merlotte's bears the brunt of these attacks once again. And Victor, vampire regent of Louisiana, is up to his old tricks trying to plot against Eric, Sookie and the rest. Sookie also meets up again with her cousin's 5 year old son, Hunter, a fellow telepath, and learns some things about her family she may not have wanted to know.

These books are kind of hard to summarize because they really do play off each other and build with each book, as a series should. They also have a lot going on and I don't want to ruin the other books by giving away too much of this one if you plan to read the series. I like the mystery involved in these books as it does create suspense, even if they are super light reads.
