While dreaming about the weekend she spent tied up in a shack, tortured and raped, Lily Bard wakes up trying to kill the man she loves, Jack Leeds. Lily has made some changes in her life since Jack came into it. Now she takes the biggest and most important step, she finally seeks therapy.
She joins a local support group for rape survivors and finally, willingly, begins to discuss what happened to her over 4 years ago. When a member of that group is murdered, Lily once again finds herself in the midst of an investigation to try to figure out whodunit.
This book will show a lot of changes happening in Lily's life and those around her since the last book. There are some very real and painful moments in this story, things that quite simply made me hold my breath or ripped at my heart. Intertwined with the mystery are glimpses into the very personal lives of the women in the support group, and Lily in particular. It's a heartbreaking, heartwarming, and suspenseful story that's always engaging and impossible to set aside.
On Ms. Harris's website it's stated that Shakespeare's Counselour is the last book in the Bard series and although she'd like to write another one, IF that did happen it wouldn't be anytime soon. So I started this book knowing it was the last in the series and prepared to be thoroughly upset with Ms. Harris for not having another book ready for me to dive into; but the truth is I am happy with this ending. I love Lily and Jack and all the characters that make up the quirky little Shakespeare town and right now I am very pleased with where they all are in their lives.
I would love to come back to Shakespeare and be a back seat driver to another Lily adventure. But Ms. Harris ended this book in a way that has me completely content with everything, and for that I thank her. There is nothing worse then being left hanging in a series; thankfully, there is no noose here. The closure seems a natural progression for everyone in Shakespeare. If she were to revisit, it would be welcome, but if she doesn't get a chance to it won't be devastating to this reader. Besides, I can always visit Shakespeare by rereading, and that is something I intend to do.
Shakespeare's Counselour is a perfect ending to a perfect series.

I won't go into detail about this book, so many have already written great reviews. I will say that if you are looking for something new to read, don't pass up the Lily Bard Series. Lily is a woman who has experienced the worst life has to offer, kidnapped, gang raped, and commiting murder to save her life. Her body is not only scarred, but psychologically she is a mess. Her main goal in life has been to shield herself from people, and taking the solitary job of cleaning other people's houses has insured she has the least amount of contact as possible. Then along comes a man (sexy as hell) with as many demons in his past as she has, though his are of his own making. How these two wounded people find each other and the growth of their love does the heart good. Ms. Harris has a unique quality of bringing fictional characters to life. When I read about the people of Shakespeare, Lily, Jack, Claude, and the rest of the gang, it's hard to remember they don't really exist. I challenge anyone looking for something new to read to pick up the very first Lily Bard mystery. You will be hooked from the very first page. These books have rich characters and the mystery/suspense keeps you guessing till the end. Now Ms. Harris, please get writing on the latest peek into the complicated but throughly entertaining world of Lily Bard.

I have had all the Lily Bard series sitting on my shelf for over a year and just kept putting off reading them, which is strange since I just love the Sookie Stackhouse books. Now I've finally read them and what a surprise -they are all terrific. Shakespeare's Counselour is the last one Charlaine Harris has written (and it is possibly the last one according to her website)and it is a fast paced , quirky , intelligent story with great characters and plot. Do not put off reading these books !! Lily is very different from Sookie , but just as captivating . I read all 5 books in 2 days and I'm so sorry that I did not read them sooner.
Now I'm going to read all her other books.
