Summary from GoodReads: Except for Sookie Stackhouse, folks in Bon Temps, Louisiana, know little about vamps-and nothing about weres.
Until now. The weres and shifters have finally decided to reveal their existence to the ordinary world. At first all goes well. Then the mutilated body of a were-panther is found near the bar where Sookie works-and she feels compelled to discover who, human or otherwise, did it.
But there's a far greater danger threatening Bon Temps. A race of unhuman beings-older, more powerful, and more secretive than vampires or werewolves-is preparing for war. And Sookie finds herself an all-too human pawn in their battle.

My Review: {This book is for adult readers} --Sookie Book #9: In this book we get another supernatural group making themselves known to the public and Vampire reality television shows.
Once again Sookie finds herself mixed up in some major stuff--more supernatural wars. Wait till you find out all the details. There's even another death at the bar, but it's not what you think. Wait till you figure it out.
Sam takes a vacation due to some interesting circumstances and we get some real background on Eric {not as much as we'd like, but it's nice to get some more}.
Sookie manages to become even more attached to Eric in what she claims to be a trick. Will she ever stop denying that she really wants him? *sigh* She also manages to get caught between two *people* that are fighting over her...but I'd say her treat afterward is more than worth getting a little scratched up for.
This book is full of everything...more conflicts...more wars...more conflicts over her feelings for Eric and the others who have been in and out of her life...loss of family members and friends.
Sneak Peek:
"I'll show up at every classroom open house and teacher conference," she said, now in a voice that was almost frightening in its intensity. "I'll bake brownies. My child will have new clothes. Her shoes will fit. She'll get her shots, and she'll get her braces. We'll start a college fund next week. I'll tell her I love her every damn day. (108)"
Wait till you find out who's becoming a mom.
Another super fast read from Charlaine Harris leaves you not wanting to put the book down and dying for book #10. I wasn't quite satisfied with how the book ended, so I'm really hoping that the start of book 10 makes up for it.
