Club Dead

The third book, Club Dead, in the Southern Vampire Mysteries takes Sookie to Jackson, Mississippi, to investigate the kidnapping of her boyfriend Bill Compton. With the help of the werewolf Alcide Hervoux she finds out that Bill is actually being tortured by his mistress, and former lover, Lorena. At Josephine's, or Club Dead as the weres call it, Sookie meets Alcide's former girlfriend Debbie who is not pleased to see her ex with a new woman, even if she is at the club celebrating her engagement to another man. Later, thanks to her ability, she saves the King, Russell Edgington, of Mississippi's right hand from being staked, only to be injured in the process. Thanks to that injury she is taken to his mansion, where they suspects Bill is being held. In order to rescue Bill, Sookie drinks Eric's blood to regain her strength and then some.

In this book Eric's interest for Sookie deepens and I think we get to see another, softer side of him.Then we have Alcide, the dark and sexy werewolf who shows great interest, much to his ex's dismay who actually tries to kill Sookie when she shoves Sookie into the trunk together with a very hungry Bill. Intrigues, intrigues.

These books just gets better and better!
