From Dead to Worse
No stranger to the often violent politics of the supernatural world, telepathic cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is about to get mixed up in the worst kind of trouble.
The supernatural community in Bon Temps, Louisiana, is slowly healing after two hard blows: the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the man-made horror of the explosion at the vampire summit. Safe but dazed, Sookie did her best to help in the rescue efforts, but now she has other things on her mind. Such as worrying about her weretiger boyfriend, Quinn, who's vanished without a word, and her roommate, Amelia, a witch in trouble for turning a man into a cat, and dealing with an old vampire beau who wants back into Sookie’s life. Plus, she’s just met an intriguing faery prince—her own great-grandfather!
But more trouble’s brewing. Like sharks scenting blood in the water, vampire and were factions are circling the weakened communities, looking to muscle in on the shaken survivors. In the ensuing battles, Sookie—friend of the were pack and blood-bonded to the leader of the local vampires—will face danger, death…and, once more, betrayal by someone she loves. And when the dust settles, her world will be totally rearranged.

You didn't share your thoughts, you gave a synopsis of the story. Do the rest of us a favor: write an actual review on the book (in other words, share your opinion of the story) & quit ruining it for the rest of us who haven't finished the series quite yet.

My Thoughts on 'From Dead To Worse'...
July 07, 2010
It?s been six years since the Great Revelation, when the vampires of the world made themselves known to humans. Sookie?s boyfriend Quinn, the were-tiger, is missing.
The big Bon Temps event, the double wedding of Portia Bellefleur to Glen Vick and Andy Bellefleur to Halleigh, is finally happening. So far things are going perfectly and without a hitch. Well there is one hitch. Sookie is asked to be one of Halliegh?s bridesmaids, when one faints and is riding an ambulance to the hospital. Sookie feels better being in the wedding, but she still has to work the bar with Sam at the reception.
Bill pleads to Sookie to accept his apology and explanation of what happened because of the Queen of Louisiana orders. He asks that she give him a chance and take him back. How could she?
Who is the beautiful withered man that Sookie sees at the wedding? Eric takes Sookie to a very fancy restaurant to meet her great-grandfather, face-to-face. It turns out that he is the fairy prince!
But more dramatic than that, on their (Eric and Sookie) drive home, they are pulled over by a cop. Only it?s not a cop, but a Were shooting to kill Sookie. Eric takes a bullet for Sookie, saving her life.
To complicate matters more between Sookie and Eric, there is the blood bond between the couple. Eric confesses to Sookie that he remembers everything from the time that he lost his memory and was staying (hiding out) at her house.
The next morning, Sookie reads in the newspaper that Maria-Star was murdered. Who would have a motive to murder the Were photographer?
Octavia finally shows at the Sookie?s front door for Amelia. Her roomie rushes to the shocking awakening to meet her punishment, and expecting the worst.
There is a war brewing in the Were community between Alcide and Furnan. With the help of Octavia and Amelia, Sookie finds out that one of Furnan?s men are responsible for Maria-Star?s death. Furnan?s wife has been kidnapped, and...

Can't Stop Reading!!! A Must Have
March 25, 2010
This book is great. This series just keeps better and better. Sookie is realizing that she has to play the hand that she is dealt and that she isn't altogether human herself. I got a feeling there will be more revelations to come concerning Sookie's background.
If someone is looking for a decent book series that will at times have you laughing out loud at some of the dialogue, this is it.

A must read for any Charlaine Harris book lover...

I lose myself in these simple stories of vamps, weres, and fairies. This is yet another everyone who reads them must read. It continues the adventures of Sookie with another giant twist and at its end, ANOTHER! All leading into what can NEVER end.
Pure entertainment. No stress. Just read.
