Review - Definitely Dead by Charalaine Harris

After flying through Dead as a Doornail, I jumped into Definitely Dead. Sookie Stackhouse is now over her ex-boyfriend, Bill Compton, and her other lover, Eric, and she is ready to get on with her life. That’s when Quinn, a weretiger, shows interest in her and they soon start dating. The Pelts family comes to Bon Temps looking for clues to where their daughter's, Debbie, whereabouts, and Sookie is doing everything to ignore them. When Sookie’s life starts to turn average, the unexpected happens. Her cousin, Hadley, passed away. Hadley was a consort to the New Orleans Vampire Queen.

After learning that she is the heir to Hadley’s estate, Sookie begins unraveling her cousin’s dark secrets. Rogue werewolves are on her trail as she gets closer to the truth. Despite all this, Sookie learns another secret about her former lover Bill.

Final Thoughts

Honestly, I had a hard time reading this and I had to really push myself to the end. I’m not enjoying the new character, Quinn, who seems to be more trouble for Sookie. The premise about Hadley’s death was interesting, but fizzled out before the conclusion. The fairy-godmother, Claudine, is starting to get annoying, unlike the pervious novels. It was nice to see the Vampire Queen again, and I look forward to see how Sookie is going to assist her in the seventh book, All Together Dead. Definitely Dead is definitely not my favorite in the series, I actually found it boring.
