Possible recommendation for May...."Dead In The Family" by Charlaine Harris

Well, I just finished the 10th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, "Dead In The Family".

Synopsis: Sookie Stackhouse, telepath, part-fairy, and barmaid, is involved with vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, and fairies yet again. This book picks up where the last book left off, Sookie recovering from the physical and emotional wounds she received from two evil fairies. Not only is Sookie dealing with her own healing, she is still bonded by blood to Eric Northman, Vampire Sheriff of Area 5 who's authority is being questioned by the new vampire king's second in command, Victor. Eric's maker Ocella shows up in this book, with Eric's "blood brother" Alexei, Tsarevitch of Russia, yes, that would be Czar Nicholas' son. In addition, the political climate is heating up around the shifters "coming out". And though the door to the Fae world has been closed, apparently several fairies are still out and about looking for Sookie. Lastly, Bill Compton is still in the picture as Sookie's ex-boyfriend, lover, and friend. As you will recall from the last book, Bill was horribly injured by the silver-toothed fairies that were attacking Sookie. He is still in love with her, and she still harbors feelings for him. With all this going on, it's hard to believe there would be something missing from this book but there is, the book suffers from a lack of love scenes between Eric and Sookie. Oh well, guess you can't have everything.

Well, it's off to the library for me to look for my next book.
