From Dead To Worse is the 8th book in the Sookie Stackhouse novels. After barely surviving the attack at the vampire convention Sookie returns to Bon Temps. Quinn her new lover and weretiger is missing. Bill wants her back and she has a great grandfather. Not just any great-grandfather, but a fairy and a prince. Oh and not to mention someone attempts to kill her. From Dead to Worse engages us in great stories, it ties up some of the loose ends from the earlier books, and also introduces a couple of new characters. Charlaine Harris knows her way around the characters of this world so well the novels never get boring. From Dead to Worse sets the stage for what I hope will be many more books to come. The action in this novel is on a smaller scale than others, but after book 7 Sookie needs a rest. We cannot keep throwing this character into absurdly complicated situations. I thoroughly enjoy the mystery unfolding page after page, and learning new things about Sookie each step of the way. Sookie is a heroine with thoughts, flaws, and strength that makes her so real.Read full review
When I first started this series (9 books in all-so far) I wasn't really impressed with Charlene Harris as an author. But as I read further I found her characters to be totally believeable in a totally different story line. I really related to the characters, even though they were so different. I highly recommend this series to anyone interested in fantasy stories. This series revolves around an ordinary woman with an extra ordinary gift of telepathy who draws unusual people to herself. Mostly vampires and werewolves with a few other other-worldly characters. Try them, you'll like them!
I get my books like these because they are always in great condition and the stories are always excellent.I would recommend these books to anyone who lives very good books.

I ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK BY CHARLAINE HARRIS! IF YOU'VE EVER WATCHED TRUE BLOOD THE HBO SERIES, THE BOOK IS MUCH BETTER! THESE BOOKS ARE WELL WRITTEN AND VERY ENTERTAINING! I'VE SHARED THEM WITH MY CO-WORKERS AND IT GIVE US SO MUCH TO DISCUSS! THESE BOOKS HAVE OPENED US UP TO MORE BOOKS OF PARANORMAL ROMANCE! THIS BOOK IS THE 8TH BOOK - I HAVE THE 9TH BOOK AND HOPE THAT THE AUTHOR CONTINUES TO WRITE MORE OF THESE BOOKS! I SHALL BE ON THE LOOKOUT!! :D
This book was average on my Sookie Stackhouse based book's scale. After the prior book, none could seem to add up. The Fae and their story are the most spice you can expect in the future novels. The series now, IMO, have gone way off track from the intriguing mystery based plot lines of Seasons 1,2, and 3 and are now bizarre, but to an extent of cheese and unbelievable characters and plots that conflict with all we've learned off Bon Temps, wolves, shifters, and vampires thus far (season 3) in True Blood. Sad really as I was excited the plot lines were diverging from the books. Is this what people really need/want to keep their attention in a series about otherworldly characters in our own world?? SAD!
