Dead Reckoning is the next installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. In this next adventure, the telepathic barmaid once again faces danger, mystical intrigue, vampire politics and secrets. Someone is out to get her, someone is out to get her lover, Eric, and her fae cousins are keeping something from her.
This novel moves the story line along for Sookie, but it lacked some of the adventure and suspense that the previous novels have held. For anyone looking for lots of Sookie/Eric action, it just isn't in here, although their relationship is changed dramatically. There is more insight into the fae world and quite a bit of family history covered, but I didn't feel that all of the family history stayed true to the characters as they were originally written.
If you are going to stay with the series, you need to read this book but I did not enjoy it as much as previous novels in this series. It felt like this was a time filler until the next adventure. I hate to say this, but Charlaine Harris needs to step it up again and soon. The last two books have been a bit disappointing and she is going to lose readers if the next one falls short.
Happy Reading!
