Sookie's job at the summit is to support Vampire Queen Sophie-Anne, whose power base was weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans. But Sookie is about to discover just how dangerous that job can be, as she is drawn further and further into the vampire world...

Editorial Reviews
Review
“It’s the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to bed, thinking you’re only going to read one chapter, and then you end up reading seven.”—Alan Ball, executive producer of True Blood
“Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern life.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu, where humans, vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries, horror stories, and romances.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging, smart, and sexy heroine.”—The Denver Post
“Blending action, romance, and comedy, Harris has created a fully functioning world so very close to our own, except, of course, for the vamps and other supernatural creatures.”—The Toronto Star

About the author

Charlaine Harris was born in Tunica, Mississippi, and raised in the Mississippi River Delta area in the middle of a cotton field. Though her early works consisted largely of poems about ghosts and, later, teenage angst, she wrote plays when she attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee and started writing novels a few years later.
After publishing two stand-alone mysteries, Harris launched a light-hearted mystery series 'starring' Georgia librarian Aurora Teagarden. The first of the eight books, Real Murders, was shortlisted for Best Novel in the 1990 Agatha Awards. In 1996, she released the first of the much darker Shakespeare mysteries, featuring the amateur sleuth Lily Bard, a karate student who makes her living cleaning houses.
Charlaine Harris then wrote the first of her Southern vampire mysteries starring Sookie Stackhouse, the quirky, telepathic waitress who works in a bar in the fictional Northern Louisiana town of Bon Temps. Dead Until Dark won the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Mystery. It also won Harris a whole new fan club of devoted readers and pushed her into the bestseller lists. The Sookie Stackhouse series, in which Sookie has to deal with vampires, werecreatures and other supernatural folk - not to mention her own complicated love life - was also instrumental in creating the urban fantasy genre.
Sookie Stackhouse also enchanted Alan Ball, creator of the smash TV show Six Feet Under, who took an option and wrote and directed the pilot episode for True Blood himself. It was an instant hit when it premiered in the US, and that success was repeated when it was first aired in Britain last year. The second season of TRUE BLOOD will start this spring.
Harris's newest series features Harper Connelly, a young woman who, after being struck by lightning, finds herself able to locate the bodies of the dead and to determine the cause of their death. There are four Harper titles (Grave Sight, Grave Surprise, An Ice Cold Grave and Grave Secret).
Charlaine Harris is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the American Crime Writers League. She is a member of the board of Sisters in Crime, and alternates with Joan Hess as president of the Arkansas Mystery Writers Alliance. She is married, the mother of three, and lives in a small town in Southern Arkansas. When she is not writing her own books, she reads omnivorously!

One of the narrative strategies that Charlaine Harris employs is to introduce plotlines that will not be fully explored until the next novel or two in the series. In the previous novel, DEFINITELY, DEAD, we learned that the Queen of Lousiana wanted Sookie to accompany her to a vampire summit. That summit takes place in this novel. I do find the fictional city in which it takes place to be exceedingly odd. Though I am from Arkansas (Charlaine Harris's state-of-residence), I live in Chicago. Illinois is an odd state in that it has one extremely large city, its surrounding suburbs, and only a couple of other significant towns in the remainder of the state. There simply isn't place that in any way resembles Rhoades, the city where the vampire summit takes place. It is supposed to be on the shores of Lake Michigan, but there are only suburbs of Chicago. I'm not sure why Harris felt that she had to create a fictional place. She had previously set books in Dallas, New Orleans, Shreveport, and Jackson, Mississippi. Perhaps she didn't feel sufficiently familiar with Chicago to set it there. Whatever the reason, the city of Rhoades is one of the weakest elements in any of her books. I think she would have been better served by placing the ficticious hotel either in Chicago or perhaps in one of the very real suburbs like Rosemont. In fact, except for the fact that Rosemont is many miles from Lake Michigan, Rosemont is very much the kind of place that would have a hotel like the one where the events of the book take place.
This novel also is much more epic and grand than the other novels in the series, though none the worse for that. It ends in almost apocalyptic fashion, with things left far more unsettled than the previous novels. The vampire political map clearly will be redrawn as a result of the big events. And things in Sookie's life will be more more precarious between the increased ties to Eric (as the result of their being forced to exchange blood to satisfy the demands of Andre, the Queen's escort) and the firefighters and police in Rhoades learning that Sookie and Barry (the telepath who previously appeared in LIVING DEAD IN DALLAS) had remarkable abilities. The number of people who would like to avail themselves of someone with abilities like Sookie and Barry's are surely enormous and will unquestionably feature in feature novels.
All in all, another great entry in a marvelous series of books. As I mentioned in previous reviews, I ordered the first books in this series without knowing that they were the foundation for the new Alan Ball series TRUE BLOOD, which I had already intended to watch. They are both very similar to one another and very different. I find that I am enjoying both immensely. I strongly recommend the books to any fan of the series, though I would caution them that there are definite differences (e.g., Jason is a far more important character in the TV series, Tara is a minor character in the books and white to boot, and Eric at least as or more important than Bill in Sookie's life). But I find that I'm enjoying both immensely.
I simply adore the sookie books. I enjoyed some of the previous characters making an appearance again. I always enjoy the sookie/barry commodore. Sometimes though i think sookie can be a little slow on the uptake....not sure if the author does that , trying to show naivety or not....or whether she is to supposed to be intentionally slow. Because sometimes sookie thinks quick on her feet , while other times she very slow at putting the clues together. But over all i find her to be such a likable character.
This series with its ups and downs .....is never boring. Although i often find myself wishing the stories hadn't ended so soon and im always waiting for another to come out.
Not sure if any other reviewers have mentioned this already, but I was intrigued by the introduction of the two alien bodyguards from the Britlingen Collective hired by the King of Kentucky, the tough professional mercenaries Clovache and Batanya. Ms. Harris wrote a short story about them (not a Sookie story). It's called "The Britlingens Go to Hell" and is included in the 2009 "Must Love Hellhounds" anthology, and is a fun read that is quite different from anything else Ms. Harris has written.
**Additional edit** While in the process of re-reading some of my older anthologies, I realized that Ms. Harris did a SECOND short story about side characters in "All Together Dead" - the vampire dancers, Layla and Sean. It's in the 2004 anthology called "Night's Edge" - Ms. Harris' short is called "Dancing In The Dark".
Like the above-mentioned "Britlingens Go To Hell", this short story focuses strictly on Layla and Sean, so Sookie et.al. do not appear at all. It's the story of how Sean and Layla met, fell in love, and became permanent dancing partners. Straightforward and nicely done, and a charming vampire romance (if that isn't an oxymoron, LOL)!

When the group arrive in the hotel in Rhodes, which is where the Summit is held, they find out that Jennifer and the Arkansas group have bbeen murdered. And before they can investigate further, a suspected bomb is found outside the Queen's suite which turns out to be only a false alarm. The summit begins and it starts with the wedding of King of Mississippi Russell and King of Indiana, with Eric as the "priest"! Apart from that, Sookie also gets to meet up with some old acquaintances such as Stan, who has risen from being a sheriff to the King of Texas, and Barry the bellboy, the other telepath that she knows of. Being aware of Sookie's ability, the Queen orders Andre, her child and bodyguard, to do a blood exchange with her so that they can have a closer connection with her. This is however interrupted by Eric. Eric, being lesser of the two evils, bonds with Sookie instead and Quinn (being the event coordinator) walks in the middle of it.
With Sookie's help, the Queen manages to get herself out of the accusation and is declared innocent. However, their problems are not over yet. The Fellowship of the Sun have come to know about the Summit and have set up plans to bomb the hotel! Sookie and Barry save the day and manage to get most of the key figures in the Summit to safety before the building collapses, with a few injuries (such as Quinn) and death (such as Andre).
This is a fun and action packed read with probably more glamour than previous books. Since there is so much going on in the book, you are left with thinking who's behind the various plots. We get to know so much more about the vampire hierarchy, especially the ones in Louisiana. There are five areas in Louisiana and Eric is the sheriff for area 5. We get introduced to other sheriffs as well and we know more about the Queen and her bodyguards/children and her ability to telepath with her children and the ability to keep them close to her- in Charlaine's world, a child leaves the maker at some stage.
We see new characters and also old ones coming together. It's good to see Russell (King of Mississippi) and Stan (now King of Texas) and most of all Barry. I enjoy the way Sookie and Barry working together and the chemistry between the two telepaths. There is probably less humor in this book than the other books and it's full of serious meetings etc. The only funny bit I can think of is to imagine Eric being the "priest" to perform the wedding ceremony and he gets the qualification from an "online" course!!!
Apart from the Summit, another key storyline of the book is of course Sookie's love life. Her relationship is not going as well as it should be with Quinn and we also get to know more about Quinn's background. From the beginning of the story, we are also revealed, from Pam, the personal conflict that Bill and Eric have with themselves regarding Sookie. And Pam also tells Sookie about the way that she was turned and her child-maker relationship with Eric which is good to know. Pam is a fun character to have in the books and would love to see more of her in later books. Back to Sookie's love life, I have to say I am getting bit annoying with Bill as you can see in this book that he is still trying to get her back. As for Eric, even before the blood exchange, he is already behaving in a weird way towards Sookie which can lead you to suspect he remembers the time he spent with Sookie when he was under the curse. And with the blood exchange or blood bond formed between him and Sookie, they definitely become kind of closer but in a very strange way. I am glad to see the development between the two but question still remains whether there is really love between the two or because of the blood bond. I think this is something that we will find out a bit more in the next book.
