So, being very disappointed with the book that follows this one in the series, I thought I'd go back and read the one I missed, in the hope, perhaps, that something would be revealed here that gave some insight or spark to the other. Sadly, no. If anything, it worked the other way; references in Undead and Uneasy to how well Betsy handled the European vampires in this book actually set up some expections - expections that were sadly dashed. This one was... okay. Just. Except that I realize that if I *had* read it first, then some of the actions in Undead and Uneasy would have been even more telegraphed -- I would have known the baddie right from the preface, rather than guessing it in the first third of the book.
I think I need to go reread some Sookie and get the bad book taste out of my mouth.
