Dead in the Family

The most current Charlaine Harris offering, Dead in the Family, introduces the reader to a few new characters.  In this novel we get to meet Eric's maker.  Being a fan of the True Blood television series, I was looking forward to some quality reading of the yummy man-child who made Eric, Godric.  However, in the book, his maker is not Godric, but some Roman buffoon, Appius Livius Ocella.  I did not like this whole story line.  I enjoyed True Blood's version much better.

The thought of Sookie and Claude, the fairy fairy, living together is quite funny.  Reading Eric's palatable jealousy was amusing as well.  Another development I enjoyed reading about was Sookie's relationship with Hunter, Hadley's son.  I love the fact she gets to mentor a telepath. 

Now that I've caught up with the series, I feel a bit of a loss!  When does the next book come out?
