Teaser Tuesday: Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris




Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Deadlocked by Charlaine Harris arrived a couple of days ago and jumped to the top of my TBR stack. I am a big fan of the Sookie Stackhouse series. This is book 12. Here is the description:
It’s vampire politics as usual around the town of Bon Temps, but never before have they hit so close to Sookie’s heart…

Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on there were things she’d rather not know. And now that she’s an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she’d rather not see—like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one.

There’s a thing or two she’d like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet—Felipe de Castro, the Vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It’s the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric’s front yard—especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank.

Now, it’s up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl’s fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who’s set out to make Sookie’s world come crashing down.
Teaser:
For the first time, I wished I knew what Mustepha was thinking--but his thoughts were as opaque as those of any Were I'd ever encountered.

My skin crawled, but I didn't know why.

  6. I have never read any of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I have heard or seen mention in so many places. I guess I need to bite the bullet and give it a shot. I must say that I have never seen any negative comments or reviews. Thanks for bringing them back to attention for me.

    Thanks for stopping by.
