Dead and Gone

Dead and Gone (2009) Charlaine Harris

When I first discovered the Sookie Stackhouse books the were like a revelation: Romance can be fun? Really? And they were fun! Mysteries, vampires and sex that wasn’t completely ridiculous!

Then at some point, they started to get ridiculous. It seemed as if every supernatural creature adored and wanted Sookie, and were all but fighting for her attention.

Bletch.

Then came the explanation of sorts as to why supernatural creatures were attracted to Sookie, so I decided to give it another chance.

Thus we come to Dead and Gone.

I have discovered that I no longer care what happens to Sookie.

This book didn’t enrage me with plot holes or issues, I just realized I do not care in the slightest what happens to Sookie or anyone else in the series.

And so, for me, here the series ends. Wish it had lived up to the promise of the first few books, but the endless (and ridiculous) romantic entanglements just got to be too much, and the mysteries took a back seat to everything else.

So long Sookie.
