The lastest installment of our beloved The Southern Vampire Mysteries later renamed TrueBlood Series and popularly known as the Sookie Stackhouse Series is out in the market.
It was released this 4th of May by Ace Hardcover, which really made the fans excited to have a copy.
Sure, the book was good and as with the other books in the series, it will get you hooked. Though, I found the prologue a bit weird, like it's not even Charlaine Harris who wrote it. But comes Chapter 1, all was well and normal.
In this book, we'll learn more of Eric, how he became such a vampire. What I've learned is that he's not high-handed after all. Yes, he is Eric, but he has his own weaknesses and vulnerability. From Book 1, I already know that he cares for Sookie the most and it is only he who can truly make her happy.
I knew that this is the last installment of the series, but now I'm not so sure. I think the author said something about writing additional books. I hope she does, because though the book was good, I'm not satisfied with it.
First, I think the weird feeling I felt came from mood of the book. It is entirely different from the earlier ones.
Sookie Stackhouse was no longer the same woman, nor was Eric, or Bill, and everyone else. I have no problem with that. Of course, people change. I just wish the author added more twists and turns to the story.
But I'm happy with what happened to Bill. Even after all that happened, I believe he loved Sookie and he deserves to be happy.
Another thing, it feels like there's something lacking. I mean, it ended just like that. Unlike the previous books, a problem starts in the beginning and ends in the end. With this book, there are still a lot of issues that needs closure. Which makes me think that probably Sookie's story is not yet about to come to an end.
Sookie Stackhouse has finally settled into a relationship with the Viking vampire Eric, and her errant brother Jason seems to have his life in order, too. But all the other people in Sookie’s life – Eric himself, her former lover Bill, her friend and boss Sam – are having family problems. Eric’s maker shows up with Eric’s ‘brother’ in tow, the ailing Bill can only be healed by a blood sibling, and Sam’s brother’s marriage is about to take place... or will it? The furor raised by the coming out of the two-natured has yet to settle; some people are just not ready to sit down to dinner with a man who turns into a dog. And Sookie herself is still recovering from her last ordeal. She’s definitely improving, physically and mentally, but she’s always going to have some dark moments now. The werewolves tell her that there have been strange and ominous passers-by in the Stackhouse woods; now Sookie is about to come face-to-face with one of her more distant relatives...

With you said, I guess that this book is not the last installment for the series.
