Charlaine Harris, All together dead
(#7 in the Southern Vampires / Sookie Stackhouse series)

From Amazon, because I am too lazy to write it up myself:
"Bestseller Harris mixes humorous Southern-fried fantasy with biting satirical commentary in her seventh novel to feature Sookie Stackhouse, the bubbly telepathic barmaid from Bon Temps, La. (after 2006's Definitely Dead). Sookie attends an all-important central U.S. vamp summit on the shores of Lake Michigan as a "human geiger counter" for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of a Louisiana weakened by Katrina and who will be tried during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders, not to mention protests by the Fellowship of the Sun, a right-wing antivampire movement. Her sleuthing skills, along with those of her new telepath friend, Barry the Bellboy, are put to the extreme test. Harris juggles a large cast, including several romantic contenders for Sookie's heart, with effortless exuberance."

I started this one on Friday night. I did not read on the plane, opting to watch three movies instead. I eventually finished the book Monday. I took quite a long hiatus from Sookie Stackhouse, but after watching those two True Blood marathons at the hotel in China, I got all excited again about this series. I enjoyed it a lot, it was fun to get re-aqainted with all the characters, it was like meeting some old friends. This still hasn't gotten old or tired after seven books. The two novels following this one are on my wishlist already. But I have some other stuff in between, including two bookrings that are planned to go to

morgaine77 afterwards...
