Book Eight, and Charlaine Harris can’t even get past the first line of the “Previously in this Series” summary before annoying me with her inaccuracy and stupidity. She begins: “If this was The Lord of the Rings and I had a smart British voice like Cate Blanchett, I could tell you the background of the events of that fall in a really suspenseful way.” This annoys me for three reasons:1. Cate Blanchett doesn’t have a British voice. She is Australian. 2. There is no such thing as a British accent....

This book could've been subtitled "How to Cram About Four Different Tiny Storylines into One Relatively Small Book and Maintain a Ridiculous Level of Detail So That Readers Can Calculate Exactly How Much Coffee My Heroine Drinks Each Day." Yeah, it would've made marketing a nightmare, but might've given readers a heads-up on what they were getting into. Sookie wades into a war in the were-community, then a vampire turf war, then she dumps her boyfriend, then she unearths a long-lost relative, t...

3.5 stars. Honestly, most of "From Dead to Worse" by Charlaine Harris was just okay, nothing super gripping. But that surprise ending? Totally exciting! If you're looking for a quick paranormal romance read, the ending makes it worth it.

2010 read Looking for a fun paranormal romance? *From Dead to Worse* doesn't disappoint!

This was another enjoyable installment in the series, and a few things genuinely surprised me.Sookie, naturally, found herself in mortal danger several times throughout *From Dead to Worse*, and honestly, she was lucky to make it out alive. Between the wolf pack conflicts, the vampire drama, and the unexpected relative showing up, Sookie really landed in some shockingly bad spots! That being said, there were some genuinely surprising and interesting moments, plus a bit of a cliffhanger at the en...

I chalk it up to this being the 8th book in a first-person series that's become so complex with overlapping storylines that it ...
