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.

From Publishers Weekly
In bestseller Harris's perky sixth Southern Vampire novel to star Sookie Stackhouse (after 2005's Dead as a Doornail), the telepathic waitress of Bon Temps, La., is off to (pre-hurricane) New Orleans to close out her dead cousin Hadley's apartment. Hadley's death six weeks earlier had been unexpected, since, as a vampire, she was already dead. Still, she'd led a lively existence as the main squeeze of the Queen of Louisiana, an omnisexual vampire, whose political marriage to the King of Arkansas occurred the night before Hadley's demise. Sookie and Amelia Broadway, Hadley's landlady and a pretty cool witch, immediately discover a mess of trouble left behind in Hadley's closet, and Sookie's soon neck-deep in even more. Though most of the intrigue doesn't come till halfway through, Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets. Alan Ball, the creator of HBO's Six Feet Under, plans to shoot a TV pilot based on the series later this year.

From Booklist
Sookie Stackhouse once tried to keep her mind-reading capabilities secret, but the word is definitely out in Bon Temps, Louisiana, her hometown, leading local police to call on her to help find a missing child. There's a new man, were-tiger Quinn, in the picture, too, but on their first date, two were-people attack them. Sookie isn't sure whether she or Quinn was the target but is soon distracted by a more pressing problem. Cousin Hadley, a vampire, has been murdered, and Sookie has inherited her apartment, meaning she has to go to New Orleans to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death and meet with Hadley's lover, the Vampire Queen herself. Though not quite as driven as past entries in Harris' Southern Vampire series--Sookie doesn't get to New Orleans until a third of the way in--this is a gratifying read for Sookie's fans because of a major surprise for Sookie about one of her old lovers.

Best book yet in a very fine series
By Robert Moore
While I've loved all of the Sookie Stackhouse novels up to this one, DEFINITELY, DEAD might be the best of the bunch. It isn't just that the novel tells a great story; it contains several game changing elements. Of those in a second. Before I move forward let me issue a
SPOILER WARNING!! Many major spoilers will arise in the following review.
Before getting to the spoilers, I'd like to point out something about the nature of the ongoing narrative of the Sookie Stackhouse books. I have a strong suspicion that the Southern Vampire Mysteries or the Sookie Stackhouse Books as they are alternately known are the first novel series influenced more by television series than by other books. I can't prove this, but with one major exception I cannot think of any other books that have the overall narrative structure that these books do. On the other hand, I can think of several TV series that do. The one series of novels is one that is unlikely to have much influence here, Patrick O'Brian's magnificent Jack Aubrey/Maturin novels, detailing the adventures of a Royal Navy officer and his friend Maturin, who is a physician and spy. (I give these books, by the way, the highest possible recommendation.) Each novel begins shortly after the end of the previous novel. Some begin immediately after the events of the previous one, essentially forming a chapter in a staggeringly huge master narrative. The Sookie Stackhouse novels are very much in this vein. Some of the books recommence only a couple of weeks after the close of the previous one. In this way the books resemble TV series like BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (unquestionably a major influence on the books). Each season of BUFFY picked up only a few months after the end of the previous season (the passage of time being that of summer). ANGEL, a spin off of BUFFY, is another likely influence. Other series in the early part of the decade that pursued an ongoing, unbroken narrative would include THE GILMORE GIRLS, DARK ANGEL, ALIAS, FELICITY, and SMALLVILLE. I don't know how many of these series Charlaine Harris might have watched (BUFFY and ANGEL are definites -- there are overt reference to the books and Sookie not only owns tapes of both shows, she shows them to Eric during his period of amnesia). Whether or not these shows had the kind of narrative influence that I imagine, there is no doubt that Harris undertakes a narrative strategy not common in long series. Each novel picks up only a few weeks after its predecessor. There will be exceptions -- although DEFINITELY, DEAD was set in New Orleans and appeared in print just after the catastrophe of Katrina, the subsequent novel, ALL TOGETHER DEAD, would move the plot several months ahead to a few weeks after Katrina in order to make it clear that the earlier novel was pre-Katrina. DEFINITELY, DEAD, however, takes place only a few weeks after the end of DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.
DEFINITELY, DEAD sees Sookie going to New Orleans to settle the estate of her deceased cousin Hadley, who had been a vampire for a short period of time, and the beloved of the Queen of Louisiana. This part of the novel is laced with political intrigue and is crisscrossed with two B-plots, the ongoing investigation of the death of their daughter Debbie Pelt (Sookie had shot her with a shotgun in self-defense in an earlier novel) and the blossoming romance with the renowned weretiger Quinn. (Side note: I absolutely detest Quinn. Though he seems a nice enough soul, he has a habit of calling Sookie "babe," a crime for which he should be imprisoned. OK, just a personal whim, but whenever Quinn talks I get nauseous.)
During the course of the novel's events Sookie learns two things that are what are certainly game changers. I mean, everything you thought you knew about earlier books is turned on its head. First, Sookie learns that Bill originally came to Bon Temps on the orders of the Queen. She had learned through Hadley of Sookie's telepath abilities and Bill was sent to seduce her so that she could be recruited to do service for the Queen. Learning this almost destroys Sookie's world. A great deal of her self-esteem had been constructed on having been loved by Bill Compton, even if he did betray her later. Obviously this betrayal will feature prominently in the story to come. Although Bill tried his best to explain to Sookie that he had fallen utterly, truly in love with her, Sookie is determined to "abjure" him just as Alcide had Debbie Pelt in an earlier book. The second huge game changer was Sookie learning that she is not purely human. We had earlier in the novel learned that it wasn't an accident that Sookie's fairy godmother Claudine (who we learn is aspiring to become an angel) had been directed to be Sookie's guardian. She indicates that there is a reason, but she is unable or unwilling to explain what that is. So it is no surprise later in the book when the Queen's companion and friend Andre informs Sookie that she has some fairy blood in her. Sookie speculates that one of her grandparents, perhaps, had been either a fairy or part fairy. More, obviously, to follow.
One other important addition to the cast of characters in DEFINITELY, DEAD, besides the Queen and Andre, is the New Orleans witch Amelia, who for reasons I won't go into returns at the end of the novel to Bon Temps to live for a while away from New Orleans. In the next novel she the term of her residence in Bon Temps is unclear because of Katrina, but for a while at least seems certain to be renting the upstairs part of Sookie's house.
What has increasingly delighted me in reading these books has been the way that Harris has kept the series fresh by injecting new characters and new twists of the plot, while keeping everything in control with a deft touch. To contrast it with the Anita Blake stories, the latter started off more promising than good, but then got sillier and sillier as new elements were added. Eventually the novels because nothing more than sex books. The work with the police that Anita did for the police that was so important early on in the series becomes increasingly peripheral. I started thinking about ceasing to read the books only a few books into the series, continuing because I kept hoping that it would return to its initial promise and become something interesting again. The Sookie Stackhouse books, on the other hand, have stayed fresh and original and fun.

I know Sookie could toughen up.... And she did it great
By Crystal Rose
The beginning of the book had a lot of things going on. Jason's were-panther girlfriend Crystal has a major health issue, a co-worker of Sookie has a huge scare with her son who is found bleeding in a trash can because of a school employee (Sookie help locate the missing Cody). The beginning was very different from the rest of the book but it wasn't horrible. It just seemed like Harris was trying to have Sookie have a normal life.
As the story goes on it gets must better!! Sookie excepts a date with the Were Quinn. The go to see a play and afterwards they are attacked and hurt pretty bad by Weres. Sookie is brought to her dead vampire cousin Hadley apartment so that Sookie can finalize everything with Hadley's death. She meets a witch named Amelia whom Sookie becomes friends with later on. The reason she is here is that the Queen needs Sookie, remember she was supposed to be helping Eric but the Queen took Sookie herself.
She notices that there is something with the home, that Amelia had a spell (per the Queen Sophie-Anne of Louisiana) put it so that no one but Sookie and I guess herself could get it the apartment. When Sookie is in the home for some time she notices something there a man in the closet. They think he's dead and then he starts to move... He was bitten and turned into a Vamp and she starting to wake up now that the spell is off the apartment. He wakes up (Jake Purifoy) and kicks the crap out of Sookie and Amelia. Vampire police help them and take the Vamp to the Queen. Sookie goes to the hospital to get mended and while there Eric tells Bill to tell Sookie why he was in Bon Temps. The news is devastating to Sookie and I don't blame her one bit!! Bill is starting to really get under my skin!!
She goes to see the Queen and tell the queen that her witch friend is doing a Ectoplasmic Reconstrution on Hadley home to see actually what happen there. Why did Hadley (the Queen lover) died, why Jake was in the closet, etc. The Queen decides she wants to see it all go down. The Ectoplasmic Reconstrution "relives" the happens at place that Hadley lives. It was really very cool to read. The Queen also tell Sookie how she became a vampire at the age of 12.
Sookie and Quinn just having a small intimate moment get attacked and taken hostage. The get away and track where the attacker were going. You find out that Debbie Pelt (Yup she still in the story! Ahh) family actually her sister set the whole thing up. Sookie tell the family what actually happen to Debbie, and they believe because Debbie was a nut. While running away Sookie gets to see Quinn as a Tiger while running through the Bayou and forest on New Orleans. As we start coming to a close Sookie and Quinn go to the Queen place as she was requested and of' course all hell breaks loose. Sookie and Quinn get away, Sookie is injured a little. DUH!! They go to Hadleys apartment to rest since the next day Sookie along with her new friend Amelia will be going back to Bon Temps. Bill stops by to tell Sookie some more details about they earlier conversation and Sookie is having none of it.. YEAH SOOKIE!! Then it ends with Sookie thinking about the vampire conference she would be going with along the Queen... Gosh, how bad could that be...
To me the transformation of the Queen to a Vampire and the Ectoplasmic Reconstrution was worth the read in itself... Finding out the truth about Bill, pissed me off but Sookie needed to know the truth.

Definitely stretching...
By Teacher Mom
With this addition to Sookiverse, we find her traveling to New Orleans to clean up her deceased cousin Hadley's apartment. Hadley, apparently, was a vampire, turned by her lover Sophie-Anne, the queen of Louisiana. Just writing that sentence makes me feel that this story is stretching to new lengths. I hope that the author is able to keep up with all of the new storylines that she's introducing.
Among the elements to look forward to are most notably the new characters. It seems like Hadley has quite a background to be explored. It's too bad that we don't hear more about her, but maybe in upcoming novels? Quinn, a weretiger, offers promising hints of a more normal romantic life for Sookie. Sophie-Anne, the queen, really seems to take to Sookie. Poor Jake, a were-turned-vamp, seems to be in a position to create some havoc. Amelia is a lot of fun and I'm hoping she sticks around in the plot for a while. Sookie seems to need a good friend who doesn't just think about jumping her.
Book 6 doesn't disappoint in terms of action and suspense. Be prepared for some shock and awe. The one thing that I have to say, that I feel is really impressive, is the way in which the author creates the tension and evenly paces the plot so that it's not over too quickly, nor does it drag on for too long. She really understands what is just right and rivets me to the book. I'm hoping that there's some development in Sookie's life in terms of a relationship that works. I don't think that one could help but crave some security and true love for someone who has lost and been denied so much in life.
