From Dead To Worse is the 8th book in the Sookie Stackhouse novels. After barely surviving the attack at the vampire convention Sookie returns to Bon Temps. Quinn her new lover and weretiger is missing. Bill wants her back and she has a great grandfather. Not just any great-grandfather, but a fairy and a prince. Oh and not to mention someone attempts to kill her.
From Dead to Worse engages us in great stories, it ties up some of the loose ends from the earlier books, and also introduces a couple of new characters. Charlaine Harris knows her way around the characters of this world so well the novels never get boring. From Dead to Worse sets the stage for what I hope will be many more books to come. The action in this novel is on a smaller scale than others, but after book 7 Sookie needs a rest. We cannot keep throwing this character into absurdly complicated situations. I thoroughly enjoy the mystery unfolding page after page, and learning new things about Sookie each step of the way. Sookie is a heroine with thoughts, flaws, and strength that makes her so real.
