Kell Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 #4 is STILL my favourite. Season 4 of True Blood starts soon and I'm desperately hoping they stick at least roughly to book four... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 What's not to like about 4 Kell, definitely the pinnacle of the series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Book #4 is a keeper! I finished Book 5 not that long ago so am hoping to get 6 soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesilbeach Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Just finished the latest, Dead Reckoning. I liked this one a lot more than the last couple of books, although I'm not happy with some of the suggestions about the way Sookie's romantic life is going, but that's just a personal choice. Still doesn't match up and I agree with what others have said above me ... the fourth book, Dead To The World is the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi all, need some help.

Kirsty_S Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Although I love these books (and yes as a fully paid up member of team eric, no4 is my favorite), I just haven't enjoyed the last ones as much as the earlier ones, I won't go into too much detail because I don't want to spoil them for those who have still to read them. I just feel some of the magic of the earlier stories are missing, the mystery element from them. This may be a touch harsh but its almost as if its gone from the Southern Vampire Mysteries that they first were, to a (and I hate to say this) spin off from the tv series. I just want to shout no the books were around first!!!!. I did enjoy series 1 of TrueBlood, but I didn't like series 2, I find Sookie annoying, I never liked Bill anyway. Jason, I have no words, and Tara, OMG! What were they thinking?? Sorry mini rant over Oh but I have to say, the casting for Eric, spot on *drools* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got a link to an image of Eric, Kirsty? rather curious to see what can cause this alarming drooling of yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Even though I can fully appreciate Eric in all his loveliness, I'm firmly on Team Alcide. I'll say the same about the later books though - they don't seem to be on the same level of the first ones. I'm only on #9 though, so I may be getting ahead of myself. I love the TV show, except for the 2nd season, yuck. I love the changes they've made from the books, but my biggest problem with the show is that there are way too many storylines going on at one time! Too much.

Weave Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) VF, this is Eric Northman ~ Even though I can fully appreciate Eric in all his loveliness, I'm firmly on Team Alcide.

I love Alcide, Eric and Sam in the books and series, Bill not so much (in the books and the series), I agree with you peace, there is too many storylines, maybe its just me but I tend to forget things because there is so much going on!

Kell Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Although I'm a HUGE Eric fan and also love Alcide, I'm a Sam girl at heart really and STILL secretly hope he and Sookie will end up together. Bill, well, I never trusted Bill - right from the first book I thought he was trouble! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirsty_S Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 He is Definitely ALL MAN!! As for Sam and Alcide, I like Sam better, I spent all book one hoping Sookie saw the light, got rid of Bill and got together with Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ok so I received the boxset for xmas and I've made a start on Dead Until Dark. I heard good things about it but so far it's not living up to the hype. I'm only 2 chapters in though (impatient I know). Please tell me it picks up pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I really enjoyed the first 6 or 7 books, maybe because I'd watched True Blood so I could envisage the characters, have you seen any? The general consensus is that book 4 is the best. Especially if you're an Eric fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty_S Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Oh yes! Book 4 was definitly the best for us Eric Fans. I have to admit though, I don't really like the True Blood series, and I think it is all the little changes made here and there that have me shouting at the screen. I do feel though that now we are at book 11, they seem to be a bit fomulaic now, I still enjoy them but I find I can almost predict where they are going but I think that is the danger with popular serial books.
