Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

Charlaine Harris . . . the woman who changed what vampires and werewolves are supposed to be. Vampires who do not sparkle but yet give off a vibe of lust. Werewolves who do not have emotional streaks but those who are tough yet gentlemanly.

Club Dead is the third book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. In all
honesty, I do not follow the TV series. I like the books better. Anyways, off topic. Club Dead (or Josephine's) is a club set in Jackson where shifters, were's, vampires, and humans go. It is put under a spell where it is difficult to find, except for those who are in the supernatural families along with their humans.

In the beginning of the book, Bill (Sookie's boy-toy) is very mysterious, and pretty much pisses off Sookie. The next day, Bill has disappeared and Sookie goes about her normal day as a waitress. All of a sudden Eric (whom I love), Pam, and Chow get together to tell Sookie that Bill is missing, and that they think something terrible has happened. Well, Alcide comes along the next day to help her pack and take her to Jackson to help find Bill. Well, the people in Jackson who know Alcide believes that Sookie is his new girlfriend. Alcide takes Sookie to Club Dead to see if she can get any readings on clues to find Bill. That is as far as I am going to say. Now, let's talk characters.

The characters are a real masterpiece. Sookie, a telepath who is a southern charm, is in love with Bill, a vampire. I do not get that much of a vibe off of either one of them. Although, some of the supporting characters I am into. There is Eric who is the Sheriff of the area surrounding Bon Temps. Eric, who is also the owner of Fangtasia, a club in that area. Then you have Alcide, oohhhh, Alcide. He is my new crush in books. This is the first for werewolves for me. He is a sweetheart with a temper to spare. Alcide who has the hots for Sookie, and is waiting for her. Oh boy. Since I do not watch the show, I had to look up to see if Alcide had fit my image. See for yourself to the left heehee. I pictured the body, but the face a little different.

So . . . do I like the book? HELL YEAH!!! I actually do like her writing and her story lines for the last three books that I have read, and I have number 4 sitting on the TV stand waiting for me to read, but I have to give my attention to my other books while I am on vacation lol. I do recommend reading the books. For the first time falling in love with a werewolf, EVER this is a good change for me. Check them out, and give Charlaine a shout out about how good her talent is!!!
