Good Short Stories February 15, 2010
Amy J. Keever (Atlanta, GA)
I enjoyed these short stories, but they were not nearly as good as her series books. They help fill in some needed information if you keep up with the entire series.
 Very Entertaining February 12, 2010

When I pre-ordered this book, I thought it was the next novel in the series instead of a collection of short stories, but I found the stories to be very entertaining. "Dracula Night" was one of my favorite stories because it involved Eric and it was really cute seeing him giddy about Dracula and waiting for him like the Great Pumpkin, LOL. My other favorite story was "Gift Wrap" because I hadn't expected the ending at all. It was a very cute and fun surprise. Altogether a fun addition to the Sookie Stackhouse series and a great book to read while waiting for the next novel.
 " ... every last sip of Sookie" February 10, 2010

As Charlaine Harris says in her dedication, this book is for all her readers who want "every last sip of Sookie" they can get their hands on. It contains several short stories - all canon - about our favorite telepathic waitress from Bon Temps, LA.
* "Fairy Dust" is where she first meets Claude, and she assists Claude and Claudine to discover just how their triplet sibling Claudette was murdered.
* "Dracula Night" finds Sookie invited to Fangtasia to celebrate the birthday of the Prince of the Vampires, where she discovers Eric has a bad case of hero worship. This one is really funny.
* "One Word Answer" gives us the story of when Sookie was informed of her cousin Hadley's death, and Sookie's introduction to the Queen of Louisiana, as well as Mr. Cataliades.
* In "Lucky," Sookie and her witchy roommate Amelia team up to try to discover who has been breaking in to Greg Aubert's office (the most successful insurance agent in Bon Temps).
* Finally, alone on Christmas Eve, Sookie has the blues in "Gift Wrap" until she discovers a naked, injured Were in the forest behind her house. A very attractive, quickly healing, naked Were. Did I mention he was naked? Things are looking up for Sookie!
This was a great deal of fun to read - it was a fast read; I think it took me about 2 1/2 hours to get through it. I couldn't help myself - I just devoured it like it was a big ol' bon bon. If you're a fan of Sookie, you'll love this collection of short stories, to get you by until the next book comes out (Dead in the Family: A Sookie Stackhouse Novel (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood), May 4, 2010 in hardcover).
