“I don’t like having feelings,” Eric said coldly, and he left. That was a tough exit line to top.

This is the first installment in the series where we barely spend any time with Bill at all, and this is my first 5-star rating in the series. Coincidence? I think not.

I loved this one so much. I could barely put it down because I was having so much fun learning more about Sookie's world, spending time with Eric, and meeting all of these exciting new characters (like Alcide, who is precious even if he's a little misguided at times, heh). I would've liked to see a little bit more of Sam and the rest of the Merlotte's crew, but at the same time, it was fun to spend so much of the book in a brand new area.

I also felt like the stakes (ha) were a lot higher in the drama of this installment than the two before it — maybe that's just me, but it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat a bit more. This series isn't without its problems by any means, but I'm having so much fun with it and I can't wait to see what happens next!
