Summary

Now it's the turn of the weres and shifters to follow the lead of the undead and reveal their existence to the ordinary world. Sookie Stackhouse already knows about them, of course - her brother turns into a panther at the full moon, she's friend to the local Were pack, and Sam, her boss at Merlotte's bar, is a shifter.

At first, the great Were revelation seems to go well - then the horribly mutilated body of a were-panther is found outside Merlotte's. Though Sookie never cared that much for the victim, no one deserves such a horrible death, so she agrees to use her telepathic talent to track down the murderer.

But what Sookie doesn't realise is that there is a far greater danger than this killer threatening Bon Temps: a race of unhuman beings, older, more powerful and far more secretive than the vampires or the werewolves is preparing for war....

Dead and Gone

This is the ninth and most recent addition to the Sookie Stackhouse series. I think this is perhaps the most powerful book in the series and certainly the darkest. The fairies are determined to eradicate any humans with their blood, and that, it goes without saying, includes are hapless heroin. In such a situation, not everyone will emerge smiling, and Sookie may be damaged in more ways than one. As usual, Charlaine Harris is in fine form, and I'm now left begging for book 10 released next year.

Dead and Gone

I read the first three and have books 4 to 9 on audio. They are so good, I love the stories and the characters. This has been the best, as usual I was gripped from start to finish, you never know what will happen to Sookie next. I am always sad to reach the end and cannot wait for the next one. Johanna Parker is exceptional, she brings all the characters to life, brilliant choice for audio

Johanna Parker is a perfect sookie stackhouse

Brilliant book narrated perfectly. it’s so frustrating when the narrator changes throughout a series but this doesn’t happen with the Sookie Stackhouse books.

great stuff

What made the experience of listening to Dead and Gone the most enjoyable?

fast moving plot and great characters

What other book might you compare Dead and Gone to, and why?

The other books in the series.....for obvious reasons

What does Johanna Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Her narration makes you feel more involved in the story as she sounds as I'd imagine Sookie to sound. She also reads at a good pace and with definite and appropriate changes in cadence, so that you stay connected and don't get bored.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Don't go out in the woods today!

Any additional comments?

Just a good bit of fun

Fairies, love, and war

What about Johanna Parker’s performance did you like?

She has the perfect Sookie voice and I look forward to hearing her beautiful deep south accent.

Any additional comments?

Sookie starts out pretty happy in this book because her relationship with Eric Northman finally gets back to the bedroom. Her happiness doesn’t last long and when she finds her sister-in-law dead and crucified in the parking lot she knows it’s bound to be followed by more heartache, and she’s not wrong.
The fairies take a prominent role in this book and not in a good way. Sookie has to sharpen her tools, literally, and is dragged into the war between her fairy grandfather and his enemies. This instalment of the Stackhouse novels is a highly emotional one and full of action, violence, and loss. Keep the tissues handy.

Another great story and really well narrated

Any additional comments?

I have got really sucked in to the stories about our heroine -depite being pure fantasy the characters are so well constructed and believable. Sookies adventures seem to also follow a plausible path and the narration by Johanna Parker really brings the books to life - this one is no exception. Its a bit darker than some of the predecessors and although there is some humour this one doesnt have many laugh out loud moments. But its still a gripping listen as you wonder what is going to happen to poor Sookie and her friends (and enemes ) next.
Its a real page turner - or whatever the Audio equivalent is
I do find the books much better than the TV series and a great way to while away the hours whilst driving up and down the motorways
