Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. Harris's rousing fifth Sookie Stackhouse fantasy-mystery (after 2004's Dead to the World) pits vampires, were-creatures, shifters and one fairy godmother against a sniper with an apparent aversion to nonhumans. If trying to discover who's behind the shootings isn't enough, the telepathic cocktail waitress from Bon Temps, La., has to cope with a few other distractions: her sexy "Were" friend, Alcide Herveaux, needs her help in his father's bid to become the next leader of the local werewolf pack; her boss, Sam Merlotte (a collie in his spare time), gets shot; her house partly burns down; and what's she to do about the handsome vampire bartender who dresses as a pirate at Sam's place? Between one mishap and another, Sookie is one busy gal. Harris does an admirable job of creating a heroine who's not only interesting but completely believable in a world of the strange and the different. Natural and humorous dialogue and a nicely paced plot that doesn't dwell so much on Sookie's old boyfriends help make this entry the best yet in the series.

From Booklist

Sookie Stackhouse just can't seem to stay away from the supernatural denizens of Bon Temps, Louisiana. In Dead to the World (2004), she found herself embroiled in vampire politics; this time around, she's involved in the machinations of the Were-people, whose pack leader has just passed away. -Alcide Herveaux asks her to accompany him to the funeral, where Alcide's father declares his candidacy against a slimy, calculating rival. Angry at being drawn into the conflict, Sookie can't distance herself entirely, because a sniper has been taking shots at Were-people, and the community suspects Sookie's brother, Jason, a new shape-shifter. Sookie's love life is every bit as complicated as usual, and her collection of would-be beaux continues to grow. Also, someone wants her dead, which she learns when an assailant sets fire to her beloved house. Harris' southern vampire series remains one of the best of the breed, concocted out of just the right mixture of humor, intrigue, and excitement. Its latest entry does not disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another success, Sep 22 2009
By Kelly Sankey (edmonton, alberta, canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dead As A Doornail (Mass Market Paperback)
This is easily one of my favortie series. I fell in love with Sookie and her southern life and all the excitement involved. Charlaine writes to make you feel like you know these characters and each book can be read on it's own without the knowledge of the rest of the series. She re-explains everything in a brief summation when it's relevant to the story. WONDERFUL story Dead as a Doornail is. I love that the titles of the Sookie stories are found in the story too and always relates to someone or something...but you have to read to find out who or what..

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, Aug 25 2009
This review is from: Dead As A Doornail (Mass Market Paperback)
These books are pure entertainment and fun. Though this particular book was not necessarily on par with her others in the same series, it was still a great read. If you are looking for a good entertaining series this is it! I haven't been able to put them down.

2.0 out of 5 stars Soo sad!, Jul 3 2009
By J. Hanson (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Dead As A Doornail (Mass Market Paperback)
I love this series...however this is the worst book of the series by far. I just wish that in every great vampire story, they wouldn't overwrite about werewolves. If I wanted to know all about the complex lives of werewolves I would buy a series about them. Too much information on characters that Ive already forgotten. Read this book because you have to as a stepping stone to the next.
