Sookie Stackhouse is a telepathic barmaid in rural Bon Temps, Louisiana. She has been shunned by her community for her seeming \"otherness\" but when she meets a vampire named Bill, she is ushered into a semi-secret supernatural community in a very big way. Dead as a Doornail is the fifth book in the series.

I like the series. Book was in good condition and came well packaged and in a timely manner. Good pricing and I will keep to add to my collection. I suggest reading the series in order as stories build upon one another )

First, for all her lusty humor, Harris doesn't candy coat characters or their...

In this book we hear a lot more from the Were's and we hear more from the Fairies Claudine and Claude. Jason now transforms into a were-panther, but is thought to be the person that is trying to kill as the Weres and shifters. They feel that since Jason did not choose to became a shifter it could be him that is trying to kill them. This book is very involved with the weres and shifters, and Bill and Eric is in very little of this installment. Bill makes a few guest appearance with another human...
