Product Description:
When Sookie's brother Jason's eyes start to change, she knows he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. But her concern becomes cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population-and Jason's new panther brethren suspect he may be the shooter. Now, Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks, unless the killer decides to find her first.

I liked the True Blood series so I found the books online and ordered a few. I found that I was fascinated by the characters and story lines, even more than the series. I can't stop reading. It is such an interesting way to think about the world, and it makes you want to jump into the book. I think real life seems a little dull at the moment.
I've now bought all the rest of the Stackhouse books and some of Harris' other books which I'll save for when I am mourning the end of the Stackhouse novels. I just bought the Stackhouse books in Spanish, too, so I can brush up on my Spanish. I thought that would be fun after I read the English version through a second time.
I read all the time and I've never enjoyed a book more. I hope Harris will write a few more.

In the fifth installment of the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries there is a sniper on the loose who is shooting shift-shapers. Sookie, everyone's favorite telepath, is especially worried as her brother, Jason, was recently bitten by a were-panther, making him one also. He is at risk of being shot and Sookie is also concerned that the were community will think Jason is the shooter, angry at what happened to him. The police can't find a link because the are unaware that there are shape-shifters, much less that they are being shot in their animal form.
Add to that, Sookie's house has been burned down and her boss, a shape-shifter was shot. Sookie's friend and former potential romantic interest, Alcide, a Were (were-wolf), wants Sookie present as the Were's have a ceremony to determine to next pack leader. Vampire Eric agrees to lend his club's bartender to replace Sookie's injured boss. But on one condition; Sookie has to tell Eric everything that happened between them during the period when he lost his memory. Sookie tells him, Eric is speechless.
I really enjoyed this installment as we get further into the supernatural community. This book focuses more on Sookie alone and her relationship with men take more of a back seat. Vampire Bill has only a cameo appearance.

I absolutely recommend this series of books to any adult who also likes Twilight. The author is talented and writes with humor and in detail. You won't be able to put it down. I went through four books in just about two weeks and now have to order the final books. MUST READ!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

Having read the first 7 books in the Sookie Stackhouse series,(and awaiting the arrival of books 8-10 that I ordered on Amazon) it is obvious I'm hooked! Love the show, True Blood, but the books are much more entertaining and the story is much different. More characters, different plots. I'll be interested to see where the next season of True Blood picks up! Highly recommend Ms. Harris's books. She's a riot!

The combination of supernatural beings and the details that Harris continues to share about the supernatural world just keeps improving this series! This story continues to introduce the reader to new information about werewolf society, the shifters at Hotshot, and the hierarchy of the vamps. As with the last story, Bill's role is minor (though he is present a bit more in this book). Alcide and Sookie's relationship continues to change. Eric and Sookie have the continuation of fireworks we are used to. Jason is in a bit of trouble (what else is new?). Sam is loyal and supportive - as always. New characters are introduced who make the story interesting - a new vampire bartender, a new short-order cook, werewolf leaders, and mysterious Quinn (hope to see more of him in the next book!). And of course Bubba makes his cursory appearance (he is so cute!). I read it in a day ... couldn't put it down!
