I read Deadlocked in the days leading up to the release of Dead Ever After so that I had the plots fresh in my mind. While I don't seem to hate this book like many other fans do, I did not like it as much as I did the first couple. Harris seems to grab every character/storyline in this series to revive in the last book. Her bows are a little too tight and the wrong color.
In the 13th book in the Southern Vampire (aka Sookie Stackhouse) novels, Sookie is charged with the murder of Arlene, former friend and would-be murderer. She deals with her lover and vampire husband being betrowed to the Queen of Oklahoma. Vampire friends shut her out and Sookie is alone and hunted by multiple creatures.
Seriously. I get the instinct to give closure to the story lines and characters, but when you shove so much into one book it becomes disjointed and desperate.
Finally SPOILER (highlight to read)
After 12 books of just friends and no feelings, Sookie falls out of love (a most passionate, enduring love according to Sookie) and in love/lust/happily ever after with another? Wow, talk about rebound. Again I get the instinct, but it was a horrible way to consummate that relationship.
