Synopsis: Sookie is trying to put past failed relationships behind her and has a new man in her life: the handsome and mysterious shapeshifter Quinn. But in the wake of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, and with the entire Louisiana supernatural community still reeling, Sookie is summoned by Sophie-Anne Leclerq (the Queen of Louisiana) to accompany her to a historic regional vampire summit. However, the conference -- where entire power bases could be gained or lost -- is filled with friction and ill will; and when delegates are found brutally murdered, Sookie finds herself in the middle of a conspiracy-ridden power play where the unlikeliest of suspects could be a cold-blooded killer.Specs: Adult fiction, fantasy/mystery, published in 2006, 336 pages, Sookie Stackhouse #7.
I can't get over how much this series has changed for me. Reading it is less fun and more of a process to get to the end. I'm less fascinated by the characters, and most even seem boring to me. It might be that the standards of the books I read are very high, or it might be that Harris is losing her touch book to book.
