  1. Thanks for that chesilbeach. I've never read any of them but it was interesting to see what Mr Deaver likes. I loved the way he described his novels as a rollercoaster, perfect description!
  2. Even in jest they scare me, I can watch anything else but . As for reading about them? No thanks . Kelley Armstrong's 'Broken' was quite enough
  3. Might schmight! Of course it does! Don't worry, we're not the only ones who thinks this is one of their favourites ... although just wait til you meet Quinn
  4. Oh no! You missed out Club Dead, it is really good. Have you read Dead to the World? There's a lot of Eric in it Glad you enjoyed Dead As A Doornail, like you I read it in one afternoon, yesterday!
  5. There is no way I'm going anywhere near this , I hate zombies Sean of the Dead gave me nightmares!
  6. Pork chops, garlic mushrooms, oven chips and peas
  7. I cancelled our Sky subscription when we moved so we only have Freeview (I rarely make a point of watching anything really, the tv is usually only on in the background). I went to check to make sure we got FX and arghhhh ... you guessed it ... we don't!!! Does anyone know where I can watch the series online??? *sniff*
  8. I'm a female telepath who's just helped the police find the location of a local schoolboy who went missing. I also have a date on Friday with a shapeshifter who 'shifts' into a tiger
  9. I suppose you can't blame a girl for that!
  10. That was a poser for Felicia. She mulled it over. "He holds grudges," she said, frowning. Definately Dead ~ Charlaine Harris
  11. Oh yes! Much preferred it told from his point of view, so much better. It explained quite a bit too, even to the point where I started to like B just a little bit I hope Ms Meyer finishes it.
  12. Dead As A Doornail ~by~ Charlaine Harris Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstones: Sookie's got just a month, before the next full moon, to find out who wants her brother dead - and to stop the fiend! Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends. Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter. Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first. My Thoughts: Sookie is thrown more into the world of Werewolves and shapshifters, she is now related to one as her brother Jason prepares for his first change as a werepanther. She has a race against time as she has to find out who is targeting shapeshifters to clear her brother's name and Sookie wouldn't be Sookie if she didn't have a few close shaves herself, which of course, occur on a regular basis! A lot more happened in this book and the storyline began to get a bit more complicated, it did feel as if Ms Harris was trying to cram a bit much into the one book. On the other hand nobody could say it was slow or boring! A few more new characters were introduced along side the regular favourites and I can't wait to find out a bit more about them in the next installment. Really enjoying this series 8/10
  13. I just wish she'd make up her mind!
  14. I think I'd have to agree I've just finished Dead As A Doornail and one word .... Quinn! He seems nice, hope we hear more of him in Definately Dead
  15. He was adorable without it! I can't make up my mind whether I prefer him or Alcide now
  16. I WAS DRAPED OVER THE ARM OF ONE OF THE MOST beautiful men I'd ever seen, and he was staring into my eyes. Definately Dead ~ Charlaine Harris
  17. Ya think maybe Eric had something to do with it?
  18. Be Aware: This spoiler gives a huge plot point away from the previous book Dead As A Doornail ~ Charlaine Harris
  19. Read on .... This is exactly the image I had too! You see? .. I don't really think you're a stalker of course Its on my shelf waiting patiently.
  20. Dead to the World ~by~ Charlaine Harris Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstones: Sookie comes to the rescue of a naked, amnesiac vampire - and ends up in the middle of a war between witches, werewolves and vampires! Sookie Stackhouse is a small-town cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's pretty. She does her job well. She keeps to herself - she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie's gift: she can read minds. That's not exactly every man's idea of date bait - unless they're undead - vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that's just the kind of guy Sookie's been looking for. Maybe that's why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn't just drive on by. He hasn't got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he's sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie's help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life. Sookie's investigation into what's going on leads her straight into a dangerous battle between witches, vampires and werewolves. But there could be even greater danger - to Sookie's heart, because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist. My thoughts: Sookie finds Eric stumbling along the road on her way home. He's half naked, totally disorientated and has total memory loss. Its a pretty dangerous situation at the best of times but add to that the fact that Eric is a very old and dangerous vampire, and you can see why Sookie has to tread very carefully ... I think this has been my favourtite so far, although all the series get top marks from me. Sookie is becoming a more independant, strong character who is learning to cope with all that the supernatural world throws at her. The appearance of all the great characters and the blend of two storylines make this another great read from Ms Harris. If you like the Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong, you will probably like this too. 9/10
  21. Hiya :hug: I won't keep you, I'm only really on to write my thoughts quickly on the latest Sookie book before I start the next or else I'll get them all muddled up :roll: and then catch up on unread posts. Like you said, thank heaven for Ms Harris, I feel almost normal again! :D

     

    Hope you're having a good Monday hun, take care and we'll catch up soon :hug: :hug:

  22. Coughlin was still focused on me. 'And you didn't go into the shop none? Just Mr. Herveaux here?' Dead to the World ~ Charlaine Harris
  23. Hi Scott to the forum.
  24. I found the note taped to my door when I got home from work. Dead to the World ~ Charlaine Harris
  25. Club Dead ~by~ Charlaine Harris Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's: There's only one vampire Sookie Stackhouse is involved with - at least voluntarily - and that's Bill. But recently he's been a little distant - in another state distant. His sinister and sexy boss Eric has an idea where to find him, and next thing Sookie knows she's off to Jackson, Mississippi, to mingle with the underworld at Club Dead. It's a dangerous little haunt where the elusive vampire society can go to chill out and suck down some Type O - but when Sookie finally finds Bill caught in an act of serious betrayal she's not sure whether to save him, or to sharpen some stakes. The Sookie Stackhouse books are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things that really do go bump in the night. My thoughts: This is the third in the Sookie series and proves to be another enjoyable read. Sookie teams up with a rather delectable werewolf in the story to try to find her vampire boyfriend, who has been kidnapped. I love the fact that by this point in the series we are getting to know all the main characters even better. I absolutely adore Eric and Alcide and its nice the way Sookies life is fast becoming more and more part of the supernatural world. The writing is fast paced, easy to read and the author is not afraid to give the gory details. Really enjoyable 9/10
