Synopsis: When Sookie sees her brother Jason's eyes start to change, she knows he's about to turn into a werepanther for the first time - a transformation he embraces more readily than most shapeshifters she's known. But her concern for her brother becomes cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population - and Jason's new panther brethren suspect he may be the shooter.Now, Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first.
Specs: Adult fiction, fantasy/mystery, Southern Vampires #5, published in 2005, 295 pgs.
Better than the last one I read, for sure. The Jason-to-werepanther twist I liked. Now Sookie doesn't have to read every perverted thought that passes through her brother's mind! lol
Contrary to the cover, Bill is still not involved in the book as much as I would've liked (but more so than #4). I'm definitely Team Bill rather than Eric (or Alcide or Sam)!
It seems that whenever Sookie lets go of a guy, another one shows up...in this case a very tall, very big guy - Quinn. So I assume the next book explores Quinn and Sookie's relationship, while Sookie continues to be a little jealous of Bill's new relationship with a human.
The series continues to interest me, with the mysteries in Sookie's life, the fast-paced and quirky Southern writing, and the many love interests. I also like how Harris introduces a lot of new people in every book, yet still hosting the regulars. It beats having the same old characters and letting the series grow stale.
