"It's vampire politics as usual around the town of Bon Temps, but never before have they hit so close to Sookie's heart.... Growing up with telepathic abilities, Sookie Stackhouse realized early on that there are things she'd rather not know. And now that she's an adult, she also realizes that some things she knows about, she'd rather not see--like Eric Northman feeding off another woman. A younger one. There's a thing or two she'd like to say about that, but she has to keep quiet--Felipe de Castro, the vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), is in town. It's the worst possible time for a human body to show up in Eric's front yard--especially the body of the woman whose blood he just drank. Now it's up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl's fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who's set out to make Sookie's world come crashing down"--

I just finished this [b:Deadlocked 13371322 Deadlocked A.R. Wise http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327904258s/13371322.jpg 18600703] and wow! It definitely delivered! This installation did not drag like the others could (book four?) and I was very pleased with the way Charlaine handled the story.I especially enjoyed:Eric and Sookie's (basically) failed relationship. It felt like pulling a splinter from a wound. I knew this was going to occur, as [a:Charlaine Harris 17061 Charlaine Harris http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1307925926p2/17061.jpg] herself stated that Sookie would not end up with a vampire (nor become one) due to her desire to create and raise a family. I felt like this was repeatedly foreshadowed, with Tara's birth of her twins, and the conversation between Bill and Sookie in the vehicle.Eric was seriously an asshole in this book!The emphasis on non-supe characters. I got so sick of “this Fae, that Were, them Vamps”. I got to see some evolution with the ordinary folks of Bon Temps, and that was a refreshing change.Speaking of Fae, I'm glad that particular storyline had both a point and an ending. I'll be honest in saying I got so sick of it! This was a wonderful read, definitely one of the better written novels in this series. I can't wait for the final installment in 2013!
