About this listen

If you think your family relationships are complicated, think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton.

In addition to the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her abduction during the Fairy War.

It's all about family....

I’ve reached a point with this series where simply listening to the characters existing in this world is comforting and entertaining. That’s the only reason I rate this 4 stars overall. I still enjoyed the book.

However, this story felt lacklustre. Eric’s maker storyline was boring, the mysteries had no real development and the stakes were incredibly low. I’ve no idea where they’ll go from here.

Basically, Dead in the Family lacked anything extraordinary. That’s what separates it from the other books, and that’s what makes it the weakest so far.

Boring Story, But Comforting

Please have a person of Russian descent teach the narrator how to pronounce the name "Alexei", then edit this audio book.

One jarring error intruded on a great story.
