Club Dead

Book Three ended my rooting for Vampire Bill.

There's a King or Queen vampire of every state and a Sheriff of each area.  Eric is a sheriff and answers to the Queen of Louisiana.

Bill is called back to the vampire that made him, Lorena, who's working for the King of Mississippi.  Apparently the word is out that Bill has a telepath for a girlfriend and everyone wants her.  Bill is tortured and sexed up by Lorena in an attempt to find who Sookie is. 

Sookie however is dead set on rescuing Bill even after Eric tells her that he's returned to Lorena.  Eric gives her an escort, Alcide, who is a sweet werewolf.  Together they get access to the King of Mississippi's court and with the help of Bubba, vampire Elvis, they rescue Bill.

Sookie does realize that she could have a relationship with Alcide which I took as a turning point for her.  But he is pretty complicated and has a lot of crazy baggage - his ex-girlfriend - that tries to kill Sookie a few times.  

This one was pretty fast paced and we get a brief introduction to the Were world and politics.  I didn't really buy Bill's excuses and just found him to be pretty much a wuss.  Go team Eric.
