“Dead to the World” By Charlaine Harris Review

Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie’s gift: she can read minds. That’s not exactly every man’s idea of date bait – unless they’re undead; vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that’s just the kind of guy Sookie’s been looking for. Maybe that’s why, when she comes across a naked vampire, she doesn’t just drive on by. He hasn’t got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy – and dead – as ever. But now he has amnesia, he’s sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie’s help – because whoever took his memory now wants his life.

This series continues to be cringe and very YA. But this book is the best book in this series so far.

In this book we get less of Bill which I became super happy about because I am not the biggest fan of Bill. And the less time we spend with him, the happier I become.

In this book we get a lot of the amazing Eric and Sookie’s chemistry which overtime I came to like and enjoy a lot.

The plot is very engaging and interesting but at the same time very simple. The plot doesn’t need any brain power to have fun with this book. 

The writing style here is very typical YA. But it makes an amazing mix with the plot because they both are very simple.

The characters in this book and in this series as a whole tend to be on the annoying side when you first get into it. But after reading this book I came to like Sookie (the main character) and some of the side characters like Eric, Jason and Sam. But the majority of the characters I don’t care what happens to them.

The action in this book was the best so far in this series. There is so much happening at the end which complete made me love this book. 

The beginning was on the slow side which really made me wish that it contained more action or something to make it more interesting rather than something to fill the pages with.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
