Bon Temps’s psychic waitress takes a dangerous road trip in the third novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series—the inspiration for the HBO® original series True Blood.
There’s only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with (at least voluntarily) and it’s Bill Compton. But recently he’s been a little distant—in another state, distant. Then his sinister and sexy boss Eric Northman tells Sookie where she might find him. Next thing she knows, she’s off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with the under-underworld at Club Dead, a dangerous little haunt where the elite of vampire society can go to chill out and suck down some Type-O. But when Sookie finally finds Bill—caught in an act of serious betrayal—she’s not sure whether to save him...or sharpen some stakes.

Club Dead is a vast improvement on the first two books of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Not that the first two weren't entertaining, but Club Dead has a much more tightly wound story, with a lot of tension and excitement. The character of Sookie also further establishes herself as an empowered heroine, even in the roughest and most vulnerable of circumstances. Charlaine Harris takes a very real, sometimes gritty, approach to the supernatural, which I personally much prefer to the more fairytale-like perspective that writers' like Stephenie Meyer take, and in this book that style really comes out in a strong way, making for a read that is rewarding as well as entertaining.
Really liked this Sookie Stackhouse book. It was neat seeing Sookie interact with other characters like Alcide and Eric. I really don't understand why Sookie has to be so beat up in all of these books so far, though.
