Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
'With the sure touch of a master' (Crescent Blues), Charlaine Harris delivers 'the sort of vampire thrills that make Laurell Hamilton's Anita Blake novels so popular' (Locus). In Sookie Stackhouse-a Southern cocktail waitress with a supernatural gift-Harris has a created a heroine like few others, and a series that puts the bite back in vampire fiction. Now the hit series launches into hardcover for Sookie's biggest twist-filled adventure yet.
Amazon.com Review:
From Emma Bull's War for the Oaks to Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, from The X-Files to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, creators are mixing old European myths and legends with modern American pop culture. Incorporating influences ranging from blaxploitation movies and erotic novels to tabloid staples like UFOs and Elvis, authors and directors are creating a new mythology for the strip-mall, tract-house, cell-phone America of the new millennium.
One of the best-known and best writers of the new American mythology is Charlaine Harris. Dead to the World is the fourth novel in her Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series. It continues the story of psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who has fallen out with her undead lover, Bill. Bill has no sooner departed for Peru, than Sookie finds the head vampire, Eric, running naked and terrified through the rural night. She helps Eric, and discovers his memory has been destroyed by a coven of unscrupulous, astonishingly powerful witches, newly arrived in her small Louisiana town, and offering a huge reward for Eric. Sookie tries to hide Eric, but her brother sees him--and immediately disappears. And Sookie finds herself caught in a war among witches, vampires, and werewolves. --Cynthia Ward

It's all been said so I'm just offering my opinion. Eric is my favorite character so getting to have lots of Eric in one book is all good to me and makes this my favorite book of the series!

if you're a fan of the series, and especially a fan of Sookie and Eric, like I am, than this is the book for you. The storyline in book four starts fast and stays fast through the entire book. The plot introduces an interesting new "creature group" into the Sookie Stackhouse universe, that will certainly add a fun new dimension to the series. Readers see a whole new side to vampire Eric-one that makes me say "dump Bill, Sookie and stay with Eric" LOL. This southern gal gives this exciting, funny series two thumbs up-it just keeps getting better.
As always-HIGHLY recommended that you read this series in order.
5 stars!
