    Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

    Is anyone reading it or have you already? It's the new one in the series (True Blood series) I'm not enjoying it. I can't really say why exactly but I'm finding it boring. Too much describing what everyone is wearing etc and not enough action. What do you think?

    I have just finished it. I liked it. I really did not think a lot about the last book. I almost think she rushed it out a bit to get on the television series bandwagon. This one though I thought was better. But only one sex scene? And that a short one> Felt a bit ripped off.

    Only 1 sex scene that really does suck.

    I'm going to try get a copy of it tomorrow.

    I just said the exact same thing in the TB thread Miss H. I liked it but was disappointed with the ending. I felt a bit jipped, like there should have been a few more pages...?

    Also Sookie, get over yourself with the whole Eric killing thing. He's a vampire! And a hot one!

    If she ends up with Bill I will be extremely upset.

    There really is not enough action between her and Eric and that is what I was looking forward to. I'm only halfway through but the others I couldn't put down. This one I don't mind taking a break.

    Just a question.

    If you remember reading about Quinn the were-tiger, how do you think he looks?
    I was talking to my friend the other day & i said how he was tall with muscles & black. She said no he's tall & white.
    I think i need to re read that book.

    I always imagined him, tall, bald, muscular, and white. Oh, and wearing a suit. Very very yummo!

    So with you Cheshire, I think the actor had a lot to do with it. He's really gorgeous in interviews with his British accent. The terrible TB southern accent and hair really put me off.

    Agree with pp's that DR was kinda boring. Maybe Charlaine H is bored with it too...? The next one better be good, no more filler books I say.

    Sorry spoiler, don't read.......












    Who is left that wants her dead? Is there anyone left that could want a telepathic hot southern blonde girl dead?

    Maybe the King because of Victor or because Eric isn't keen on the Queen. Maybe Bills ex flame comes back in a serious rage of jealously.
    I've got no idea.

    Yeah, I'm guessing the queen as well. Everyone else is dead. Unless victor had a lover somewhere.
