Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2006

Another Fabulous Installment
I am surprised that this series just gets better and better as you read it. This book makes a shift to focus more on werewolfes and shapeshifters and of course, most of them accept her. We also see a little more from the fairies. The book picks up on the storyline ...

The Living Dead

Stephen King, Joe Hill, ...

Night Shade Books, 2008

Zombie-tastic!
Yes, some of the stories that are in the book have been published before in other compilations, the editor even states this in the beginning, however, 'The Living Dead' is an absolute must-have for anyone who is a fan of zombies. You can not go wrong here. I would ...

Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

Dead Until Dark is Very Much Alive
HBO is showing a new series this year titled "True Blood." The TV show is based on Charlaine Harris's book Dead Until Dark. Based on is perhaps not true. The series follows the book almost exactly. I suspect that the first season is the first book in Ms. Harris's ...

From Dead to Worse (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 8)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Hardcover, 2008

Can't Get Enough of This Series
I can't get enough of this series. It's one of the best I have read so far. I don't want to give away too much, but I will summarize. Bottom line, you won't be disappointed. The vampires are dealing with the aftermatch of the Vampire Summit and reorganizing ...

Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2005

My favorite in this series so far
I absolutely loved this book and it's my favorite so far in this series. Sookie is an incredible character. She's sweet, smart, sassy and doesn't take any crap from anyone. She's also a telepath, which makes her even more interesting. She finds Eric, a gorgeous ...

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2002

Read with caution - This series is addictive
I read the first in this series, "Dead Until Dark" and loved it. This installment "hooked me". Sookie finds herself seriously attacked by a "creature" and is saved from a certain death by the vampires by a quite unusual approach. Sookie and Bill find themselves ...

The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead

Max Brooks

Three Rivers Press, 2003

"Exellent read"
The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is amazing. It has humor, but is totally serious the entire length of the book. I feel that if a Zombie Outbreak happens anytime soon I will be better prepared having read mentioned book. A must for Zombie, Horror, and Survival ...

All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

What an action packed climatic ending
This book was jammed packed full of action and we learn some new things about the vampires (like about Pam's past, Eric's present feelings etc. A good portion of the book takes place at the Vampire Summit and we are introduced to a whole new group of vampires, ...

Club Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 3)

Charlaine Harris

Ace Books, 2003

Gripping Story - I can't get enough of this series
I liked this almost as much as my favorite so far in this series, (book 4 - Dead to the World). Sookie's boyfriend, Vampire Bill goes out of town on business and turns up missing. Sookie agrees to help find him and works with Eric (Bill's Vampire Boss) and ...

Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2007

Great vampire series
Definitely Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 6) Charlaine Harris really knows how to write a book, if you like your vampire series with a bit of humor you will like these books, if you like your mysteries with a bit of what we call "Woo Woo" (in other words ...

Book of the Dead (Kay Scarpetta)

Patricia Cornwell

Berkley, 2008

Not quite as bad as Predator
We are all impressed with Patricia Cornwell's [Kay Scarpetta's]knowledge of Italy; places, food, drink etc. I guess we are all a bunch of Rednecks with our noses pressed to the window of a world we can never be a part of. I swore after the very dismal effort of ...

Laughter of Dead Kings (Vicky Bliss, No. 6)

Elizabeth Peters

William Morrow, 2008

Waited so long
After having waited so many years to check in on Vicky Bliss and Sir John, I wasn't disappointed. The twist at the end was great. Just a fun book to get lost in.

Complete Vampire Chronicles (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The ...

Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 1993

Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient ...

Playing Dead (Prison Break, Book 3)

Allison Brennan

Ballantine Books, 2008

excellent romantic suspense
Fifteen years ago the assignment was to murder District Attorney Taverton. When he committed to the kill he found the mark in bed with Lydia, the wife of police officer Tom O'Brien, as planned. He killed both and set up the cuckolded husband to take the fall. Tom ...

Dead Heat

Joel C. Rosenberg

Tyndale House Publishers, 2008

Outstanding
Joel has done it again. This novel is so prophetically linked to what is happening in our time. Everyone will be intrigued and challenged to compare what Joel is saying in his novel with what scripture says will be happening in the last days. I recommend this read to ...
