Dead in the Family

by Charlaine Harris

Book 10 in the Southern Vampires Series (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)

Rating: 2/5

I’m rather disappointed with this newest Sookie book. There wasn’t appreciable amount of character development for any of the existing characters (except when Sookie tells us that their disposition has changed) and many of the newer characters seem like one-off appearances that won’t be integral to the future storyline (and will need far more development if they return). There was a noticeable lack of action compared to the others and the entire story just seemed like fluff for the series. The full storyline of the book seemed better suited to a shorter novella. Here’s to hoping the series doesn’t continue going downhill.
