Definitely Dead | Charlaine Harris
31 posts | 275 read | 15 to read
As a person with so few living relatives, Louisiana cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse really hated to lose one. But she never guessed that it would be her cousin Hadley--a consort of the Vampire Queen of New Orleans. After all, technically speaking, Hadley was already dead. And now, as unexpected heir to Hadley's estate, Sookie discovers the inheritance definitely comes with a risk. Someone doesn't want Sookie looking too deeply into Hadley's past--or for that matter, Hadley's possessions. And they're prepared to do anything in their power to stop her. But who? The range of suspects runs from the Rogue Weres who reject Sookie as a friend of the Pack to the Vampire Queen herself, who could be working through a particularly vulnerable subject--Sookie's first love, Bill. Whoever it is, they're definitely dangerous--and Sookie's life is definitely on the line... With HBO's launching of an all-new show, True Blood, based on the Southern Vampire novels, the demand for Charlaine Harris and Sookie Stackhouse is bigger than ever. Watch a QuickTime trailer for the HBO original series True Blood.

This one has Quinn and Sookie dating. She has to go to New Orleans to go through her cousin Hadley‘s things. She finds a dead or undead body in the closet. She meets up with a witch, Amelia (who I forgot about and love). She also has to work with the Queen of Louisiana.

All I want to do right now is read these books! 🤣

These books are trashy but addictive 🙈 found this one confusing until I discovered that Hadley‘s tale was told in a short story not one of the previous novels… thought I had blacked out on a massive chunk of plot!

Book 31 of 2021. I just love the Sookie Stackhouse books and we got HBOMAX so I can finally watch True Blood! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BookishMarginalia True Blood is VERY different from the books, especially from the quirky spirit of the books. 3y
Meghan1 @BookishMarginalia I definitely agree! I appreciate them both, though! 3y
Meghan1 @BookishMarginalia I just hit season 4 and things veered way left. I agreed with you before, but I agree even more now. Characters are very dark that weren‘t that way in the books. Not that I don‘t like it; it‘s just very different. 3y

My view today reading Definitely Dead.😹 Buddha the cat was clearly relaxed, and snoring the whole time!

Does anyone else love to read a book and then watch the show at the same time?! I have been reading The Southern Vampire Mysteries and watching True Blood along with it. #catsandbooks #buddha #trueblood #showsandbooks #catlover #booklover

I‘ll give this a pick, as it‘s good for what the series is. I‘m discovering that I love these books less this time around, and I think all Sookie‘s suitors are toxic. I enjoyed Quinn at first, but his tantrum because he hadn‘t defended Sookie WHILE SHE‘S STRUGGLING BEHIND HIM IN A BAYOU WITHOUT HELP was the end of that.

I enjoyed this this one very much you get introduced to more characters and a whole lot more complicated vampire politics.

Quinn the tiger, I want one. 😍

ScorpioBookDreams @JanuarieTimewalker13 I love the colours of the US hardbacks so decided to collect those. 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 I had a boxed set of the first 8 mass market paper backs but I passed them on to a friend. All I have left is the hardback of the story collection A Touch Of Dead. I had to keep it bc I cracked up when I saw Dracula had my birthday. Lol 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 The story is called Dracula Night. 7y
ScorpioBookDreams @JanuarieTimewalker13 I remember that one! 😂 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Have you watched the BBC Being Human series? I LOVED it...of course, I was years late to the game...loved seasons 1,2,3. I didn‘t want to go further than that bc Aidan Turner left. Mitchell❤️ 7y
RealBooks4ever @JanuarieTimewalker13 Omg, I‘ve just recently discovered Aidan by watching Poldark! 💜💜💜 I‘m in the second season. 7y
ScorpioBookDreams @JanuarieTimewalker13 I always meant to watch it but never did! 🙈 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @RealBooks4ever I may have to watch that show for my Aidan fix! @ScorpioBookDreams you will LOVE the first 3 seasons (series in UK) ! I got them out of my library. Make sure you get the BBC not American one...you don‘t want to miss Aidan Turner! 7y
ScorpioBookDreams @JanuarieTimewalker13 I‘ll definitely get them watched sometime! Don‘t want to miss out on Aidan 😂 7y

I forgot how many amazing characters there are that they left out of the show (the last time I read this series was 2011 - I just saw a post on my 'On This Day' portion of FB). Like QUINN. 😍🐅And Amelia. And the Queen is way more interesting than they ever made her on the show. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars.

I didn't trust myself to take a photo of myself reading in my inner tube and not end up with my phone in the water...but that's how I spend a good part of my day off. I read a little over 100 pages and acquired a lot more freckles. #summer #favoritereadingspot 🌊❤️📖

Day five: something magical. Full disclosure I don't read many magic/fantasy books, but I do have a soft spot for vampires. I read most of these books over one summer, buying three at a time from the indie book store that's now closed. I also think they went WAY downhill after about book 9. Also I liked Sookie from the books way more than the show #riotgrams

I haven't read many #supernaturalmysteries, but I did find these on my shelves. I loved reading them a some years ago, but I never finished the series. Maybe some day?

Cinfhen Look @Suzze it's your author!!! 8y
Suzze @Cinfhen Yay! Charlaine actually used to be part of a private group I belong to which is mostly mystery authors. When she got well known she dropped out because of time constraints. 8y
readinginthedark It depends on how far you got! Somewhere around book nine or ten, they started going downhill in my opinion. 8y

Kalalalatja @readinginthedark I have read all the books pictured, but I can't remember much from them. I have a feeling there might have been released a few more after these, but I don't know really. 8y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen @Suzze That's awesome! And I could imagine her schedule got pretty busy at some point. I always find it a bit weird to think of authors and other celebrities as "normal" people with normal lives ? 8y
readinginthedark @Kalalalatja Yeah, there were a couple more. Mostly collections of short writings to wrap things up with the characters. 8y
Mariposa_Bookworm They were good little mysteries in the beginning. It seemed like after the show started and gained popularity, they weren't as good any more. I can't remember exactly where I stopped with the books. I read most of them. I never got past the first episode of the show. 8y

Jane Austen's Mr. Knightley is very swoonworthy, and I'm in love with Fred Weasley (❤😢). In the Lunar Chronicles I looove Wolf and Thorne. Actually I love all the werewolves- Jacob Black and especially Alcide. Thank you True Blood for casting Joe M. as Alcide. ❤😍🤓

Third #octphotochallenge #mancrush category: series favorite.
Some series will present the heroine with many options before tying her to one character. Of all of Sookie Stackhouse's love interests, Quinn was my favorite. Super tall, purple-eyed. Confident but not cocky. Protective and… let's face it… probably a tiger in the sheets. Get it?
Curious: who is your favorite #SookieStackhouse boyfriend? And is it different in the books vs. True Blood?

booksandcats13 I have to agree with you here. Quinn was probably the best of the bunch. 8y
RestingBodiceFace @bigdamnbookgeek - I wish he had made it into the TV show. I was looking forward to it. 8y
Bookzombie I get it! Loved Quinn! 🐯 8y

Vexingcircumstance I liked Eric in the books...for myself lol. I don't think he was a good fit for Sookie. I was routing for Sookie and Sam all through the books. I watched the whole show but honestly never liked it all that much. 8y
rubyslippersreads I started watching the show before I read the books, so I pictured my faves Alcide and Vampire Bill as the actors. 😍 8y

RestingBodiceFace Love all of the feedback! Pretty much all of Sookie's love interests had their good points. 8y

Mehso-so

Another really fun, but pretty mindless read. This one was okay. This is the book where we meet Amelia, who is a pretty funny and entertaining, though dysfunctional, character.

The next few weeks are going to suck (pun intended), so I think something lighter for now. Kitty approved.
