Hot Right Now!The 10th book in the Sookie Stackhouse Series...
 Dead in the Family
by Charlaine Harris
Still reeling from the deaths of her fairy cousin, Claudine, and many
others in 2009's Dead and Gone, Sookie Stackhouse struggles with
paranormal politics in her entertaining if slow-moving 10th outing. When
Claudine's triplet, Claude, appears at her doorstep, Sookie reluctantly
allows him to move in. The government threatens two-natures with
mandatory registration, and tensions run high in the local Were pack.
Then Eric's maker, a Roman named Appius Livius Ocella, arrives without
warning, bringing along Alexei Romanov, whom he rescued from the
Bolsheviks and turned into a vampire. Though the action often builds too
slowly, the exploration of family in its many human and undead
variations is intriguing, and Harris delivers her usual mix of eccentric
characters and engaging subplots. Publishers Weekly (May)

The most exciting Women's Murder Club novel ever...
 9th Judgement
by James Patterson
"Those who haven't read any of the novels in the Women's Murder Club
series are cheating themselves." BookReporter.com
"I
can't believe how good Patterson is, whether he's doing a Washington police
yarn or traveling a different road with a female narrator. He is
always on the mark. I have never begun a Patterson book and been able
to put it down." USA Today Larry King
"Patterson
and Paetro are at their best here, weaving a number of plots together
to create a novel that dips and flows across genre lines.... A series
that shows no signs of fatigue or flagging." BookReporter.com |
