Charlaine Harris
. . . and Sookie has a knack for being in trouble's way; not least when she witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is known to be two-natured, suspicion immediately falls on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but before she can investigate something else - something even more dangerous - comes up.
Sookie's lover Eric Northman and his 'child' Pam are plotting something in secret. Whatever it is, they seem determined to keep Sookie out of it; almost as determined as Sookie is to find out what?s going on. She can't sit on the sidelines when both her work and her love life under threat - but as she's gradually drawn into their plans Sookie finds the situation is deadlier than she could ever have imagined.

Poursuivre la série
This is the beginning of the wrong path for the series and the first half of the books is very disappointing.
Beware, there is a few spoilers afterward.
In this first half, until the audible chapter 13, we can clearly see that Charlaine Harris decided to discard the Eric-Sookie relationship by twisting Eric personality into a cornered vampire who doesn't have the guile he had in the preceding books. And when Sookie and Eric had passion before, now they have angered talks and part away without talking. It's so not in either of their natures ! They are both confrontational and should be yelling at each other before having make up sex !
And then, we can see as clearly Charlaine Harris pushing Sookie into Sam arms. I'm biased because I don't like Sam but even so, their relationship was so much more brother-sister like, each scene hinting they could be more is disguting. Also I'm listening to the series for the second time and Sam wasn't such a nice guy in the preceding books and making him so much better in this one just seems artificial...
This first half book is very disappointing.
The story picks up a bit after the audible Chapter 13. There, Sookie and Eric finally have a discussion without being interrupted ending in a good sex scene and then they finally take actions ! Not everything that follows is good but that second half of the book is definitely better. The characters seems more themself again... for a time only. Sookie is more determined but also more accepting. I saw this as a true evolution of her personality and the final acceptance of her supernatural nature and the rules of the supernatural world she is a part of.
This should have ended there. But no. Charlaine Harris makes Sookie fall back into her old ways becoming afraid and guilty of herself and her survival instinct when she should be proud of her own strength... That's when I started to unlike this Sookie. As human as she is, she is strong and shouldn't be ashamed of it ! Where is the proud and sassy girl from the beginning of the series who took a 15 minutes break from her waitressing job to help and save the first vampire she met from drainers, attacking them with the chains from her Pick Up's brother ?! It's like Charlaine Harris forgot who Sookie was from the start and made her into another character to fit into a box...
And after all of this, Charlaine Harris twisted one last time Eric's character, making him hurt Sookie after the final battle. Gleeful as he was, I don't think one minute he would really have done it because he is a honorable warrior. He sure can be violent and likes it but only against his enemies, not his friends and allies and certainly not his wife. It made me so sad to see him twisted that way by the Charlaine Harris...
At that point, it seems like Charlaine Harris didn't like her characters and their world and theirs views and she decided they just couldn't be happy in that dark supernatural world of theirs. Bitter and sad...
Disappointing
