The reason I bring this up is that we are in mid-May, exactly one year from finishing the previous Sookie Stackhouse book Dead Reckoning and months from the end of True Blood Season 4, we are only weeks away from the Season 5 premiere. I still love both of them but their relationship is becoming more tenuous as time goes by.

The first couple of seasons had a lot in common with the first few books but over time the two have certainly taken different forks in the road. I am also a big fan of the HBO (screened on Showcase in Australia) series True Blood.

I love Bon Temps and all of the twisted plotlines and parallel storylines running through this series. I don’t know what is sadder that I have to wait an entire 12 months for the next book or that it will be the last. So when Deadlocked appeared in my to read pile it was always going to come first, at least I managed to finish what I was already reading before I launched fang first into life in Bon Temps.ĭeadlocked is the 12th book in the series, which I just discovered will end with the 13th next year.
