SPOILER ALERT!
This may be my favorite of the series thus far - it's a tough call, though, because I LOVED "Living Dead in Dallas". Eric still pisses me off, even though Mr. Bill Compton doesn't seem much better after reading this installment. I was really upset that he would actually leave Sookie for someone else, and I didn't fully believe he had until he admitted it (I figured Eric had made up the story about Lorena). Alcide Herveaux was pretty cool (I imagined him looking like Hugh Jackman's Wolverine). Of him, Eric, and Bill, I approve of him most.
I was surprised, though, that Sookie wasn't more distraught without Bill, especially since she knew he was captured, and being tortured. Even though I can't blame her for not being in love with him, I was surprised she was not more upset.
But this was an all around fantastic book. Harris is one of the most entertaining writers I've ever encountered. There is never a dull moment in this series. I can't wait to read "Dead to the World". (show less)

The most bothersome aspect of this book was the about-face made by the character of Bill. He couldn’t keep his hands off Sookie throughout the first two books but suddenly he’s planning to run off with an old vampire love without explanation. Huh? Let me back up a bit. Bill is working on a top secret project for the Queen of Louisiana without the knowledge of his boss Eric. He tells Sookie he’s going out of town and gives her instructions in the event he doesn’t return. Eric gives her the news that Bill is missing after planning to run away with an old vampire lover. He enlists Sookie to use her telepathic abilities to help locate Bill. Alcide, a werewolf, is her guide into a supernatural club in Jackson referred to as Club Dead. Along the way Sookie meets more vampires, shapeshifters, and werewolves and deals with Bill’s betrayal, a growing sexual attraction to Alcide, and Eric’s amorous advances. She also gets beaten up. A lot. (show less)

  Miss Sookie Stackhouse sets off to save Vampire Bill in a whirlwind of an adventure. This is the first time we see anything but unyielding adoration from Bill for Sookie...it is a little surprising and hurtful. The reader wants Bill to be the perfect guy for Sookie but as Bill has always said, he isn't human. Both the reader and Sookie have a difficult time coming to this realization. But with her determination and loyalty/love for Bill, she saves him even if he has broken her heart in tw... (show more)

  Miss Sookie Stackhouse sets off to save Vampire Bill in a whirlwind of an adventure. This is the first time we see anything but unyielding adoration from Bill for Sookie...it is a little surprising and hurtful. The reader wants Bill to be the perfect guy for Sookie but as Bill has always said, he isn't human. Both the reader and Sookie have a difficult time coming to this realization. But with her determination and loyalty/love for Bill, she saves him even if he has broken her heart in two. She comes out the better person and has gained a new friendship and possible love interest in the process, a werewolf, Alcide Herveaux a lovable guy who has fallen for the wrong girl in the past. As both are mending their broken hearts, they find a common respect and admiration for one another, promising that if they both can get over their past loves, then there may be a chance for them yet! I can't wait! (show less)

  When the cat’s away, the mice will play. In Sookie Stackhouse’s case, when her boyfriend Bill goes missing (and presumed dead), not only does Eric – sheriff of area 5 – come a-wooing, but also the werewolf Alcide. (The attraction that these supes have for Sookie is astounding. That must be some pheromone she’s putting off.)

  In typical southern vampire fashion, Sookie is haplessly embroiled in undercover subterfuge between two vampire alliances that are at very much at odds. (And that’s put... (show more)

  In typical southern vampire fashion, Sookie is haplessly embroiled in undercover subterfuge between two vampire alliances that are at very much at odds. (And that’s putting it mildly.) In Dead in Dallas, Harris pitted Sookie’s vampire friends against the malevolent Fellowship of the Sun, a right-wing Christian cult with strong anti-vampire tendencies. But in Club Dead, she turns our eyes to the in-fighting between and within the loosely knit vampire, were, and shifter communities. And it’s not a pretty sight. Torture and murder are again the name of the game this third time around, and many pints of blood are draw by book’s end. What more can you ask for? (show less)
