The Vampire King of Louisiana is in town wanting to find out what exactly happened to Victor. Sookie is called to Shreveport to attend a part for the King at Eric's house. When she arrives, she finds Eric feeding on a female in one of the bedrooms. Shortly after the unknown woman leaves the house, she is found dead on the lawn. The police see the teeth marks on her neck and believe a vampire killed her. Sookie tries to solve the murder while being pulled into various struggles for power in the werewolf and faerie communities.

This is the 12th book in the Southern Vampire series. I found the plot a bit scattered. Sookie really doesn't investigate the murder, but has most of the clues fall into her lap. Most of the time we are following Sookie on her errands, visits to friends, and her work at Merlottes. Along the way she accidentally picks up information that may eventually help her discover who killed the woman on the lawn.

I'm disappointed in the way Charlaine Harris has changed Eric. He used to be a powerful vampire who wouldn't let anyone get in his way. Now he is caught in a sticky situation and is waiting for someone to rescue him. It's almost like his body has been taken over by an alien. I don't like where the series is going and am happy there is only one more book in the series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
