Dead to the World

WHERE ARE YOUR SHOES, ERIC!?

Sookie's just not having a good time lately. Her boyfriend cheats on her, she gets beat up, and now her brother's missing. On top of all that, she finds her ex's boss, Eric, running through the woods buck naked with no memory of who he is or what's going on. Will Bill, the ex, in Peru, Sookie's gotta deal with this all on her own, and she's discovering that a memoryless Eric is a lot more interesting than the real one.

I did like this book, though I had a nasty habit of skim reading again so I could hear what the characters were saying to each other. D:
I'm terrible, I know, I just can't help it. I love the way Harris creates personalities by the way her characters speak. It's so entertaining.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the Eric/Sookie pairing at first, but it did start to grow on me toward the end, and I was so disappointed when it was over. Part of me still hopes that Sookie and Bill end up together. I don't know why, as he is obviously a douche for leaving her for that Lorena vampire in the first place, but they just fit so well together that I hate to see it die!

And there's the fact that the real Eric makes me want to punch a kitten.
I hate egotists they drive me crazy.

All in all, Harris has amused me once again with a creative plot line and fascinating character development. I find myself able to connect with Sookie more in this book than any of the previous ones and I appreciate the fact that it can still make me laugh 4 books in.

ALSO, I'M CUCKOO FOR FAERIES. THANK YOU, CHARLAINE. Thank you! :3

4/5 stars.
