Dead in the Family, 'SooKie STaCKHouSE Series' by: Charlaine Harris

PLOT: Even with the blood of two vampires in her system. Sookie is having trouble healing from the terrible torture she endured at the hands of her great-grandfather's enemies during the brief but deadly Fae War. Worse are the emotional wounds-especially over the loss of her own personal fairy godmother and the near death of her first love.

Sookie is hurt and she's mad. Just about the only bright spot in her life-beside the fact that she is, after all, still alive-is the love she thinks she feels for vampire Eric Northman, who is under scrutiny by the new vampire king because of their relationship.

As the political implications of the shifters' coming-out are beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to one particular Were draws her into the dangerous debate. And, unknown to her, though the doors to Faery have been closed, there are still some fae on the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry.

OPINION: Sookie is improving, physically and mentally, but she’s always going to have some dark moments now. She is settled into a relationship with the vampire
Eric. Eric’s maker comes and brings his out of control “brother.” The book
ends with Sookie & her fairy relatives.
