Deadlocked

by Charlaine Harris

Oh, Sookie. Sookie, Sookie, Sookie. Your life seems to be a series of unfortunate mishaps. ...

Seriously. This girl has somehow gotten herself into one mess after another, mostly related to her telepathic abilities and her relationships with men in power in the supernatural world. Which makes for an entertaining read. With this series, you know you'll get some good mystery, action, & romance when you crack open the book. Each book in the series has consecutively become darker and more serious in nature. My only complaint is that the spunky, personable Sookie that readers fell in love with - who loves to soak up some sun and uses multisyllabic words from her "Word of the Day" calendar - seems to have fallen into a deep depression. As a result, the comedy aspect of the series has gone into remission. However, Harris still writes an engaging story, filled with murder & intrigue, which pulls the reader in. The cliffhanger ending has me waiting on the edge of my seat, to see what next adventure Sookie may find herself wrapped up in.
