“I slid my key in the door and we went in. 'I'll help you into the tub if you like, Sookie,' Eric offered. 'Oh, I don't think so.' A bath was what I wanted more than anything else in the world, that and to never put on these clothes again, but I sure wasn't taking a bath with Eric anywhere around. I'll bet you are a treat, naked,' Eric said, just to boost my spirits. ”

thesaucywenchesbookclub.blogspot.comPossibly the most disappointing release day yet. Upside ; these will always be the books that brought us together
Dead Ever After … what a complete waste of my time.
If that was how Charlaine Harris wanted to end it from the start, what were the 11 books inbetween for?!

“Weres are nothing if not loyal,” Alcide said.
I took his hand. “I know that.”
Alcide’s green eyes regarded me steadily.
“Debbie asked me to kill you,” he said.
For a moment I felt cold down to my bones. “What did you tell her back?” I asked, through stiff lips.
“I told her she could go fuck herself, excuse my language.”
