Dead in the Family is the 10th installment in the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire series from Charlaine Harris.  This is the same series which the show True Blood is based on. This edition, as it’s title hints at, has a theme of family.  In it Sookie meets Eric’s creator and a famous person he turned, finds Bill’s sorta sister, and worries that she may be being stalked by a fairy.

Anyway like the other books, you should have some knowledge of the rest of the series since this builds on the others.  Harris does do a decent job of including details of things that happened in the past but it helps to have that knowledge going in.  There’s also a whole lot of different plot lines going on.  Overall I wasn’t impressed with this particular book.  It felt short and there really wasn’t any mystery and everything was too neatly wrapped up at the end.  There were no surprises or anything really interesting.  But if you’re a fan of the series you’ll probably still wanna check it out.
