SYNOPSIS
Betrayed by her longtime vampire love, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse must now not only deal with a possible new man in her life-the oh-so-handsome shape shifter Quinn- but also contend with a long-planned vampire summit. With her power base weakened by hurricane damage to New Orleans, the local vampire queen is vulnerable to those hungry for a takeover. Soon, Sookie must decide what side she'll stand with. And her choice may mean the difference between survival and all-out catastrophe.

CONTENT
Knowing that this book is about vampires, don't be surprised by some blood and gore and sexuality. There is some language as well.
REVIEW
This is book #7 in the Southern Vampire Series. I have read the previous books and I won't give anything away. However, I will say that so far, I think this is the best one. It was quick and intense. The only negative, the ending was a little weak for me. If you watch the HBO series True Blood, you will have an idea what this series is about. However, compared to the show, the book has much less gore, language or sexuality. I actually like the books better for it. I really like the character Quinn and I think that Ms. Harris could write an entire series just about him and his culture. A word of advice though, read these in order. It is important to the chronology of the story. I am so excited to read the next one I put book #8 and #9 on hold at the library before I wrote this review. I've really enjoyed this series.
