Dead and Gone

Ms. Harris has outdone herself with Dead and Gone, the 9th book in the sookie Stackhouse series. The last few books have been lackluster, but book 9 kept me going. I read this book in one sitting determined to find out what happens to my favorite characters. The story left me with the impression that we should prepare ourselves for book 10 being the finale. I may be wrong, but I really want to know Sookie's final decision.

There is quite a bit of shocking graphic violence in the book, so it is not for the light of heart. Several characters we have grown to love leave during the course of the story, some in a startling fashion. And for those of us who love the men in Sookie's life, well, there is plenty of fodder for us to feed on. In the past few books, I have been torn between Eric and Bill. Dead and Gone does not alleviate this dilemma, but gives us more to debate. At the end of the book (the last few lines are major cliffhanger), I was completely confused on who to choose.

You can also read Lighthearted Librarian to see her review of the book. Let me know what you thought of Dead and Gone. Also, please debate which man Sookie should choose in the end. I know many of us have our favorites, but I think this book might have changed our minds.
