Dead to the world Charlaine Harris |
Gollancz, 2009 | |
Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's pretty. She does her job well. But she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates Sookie's gift: she can read minds. That's not exactly every man's idea of date bait - unless they're undead; vampires and the like can be tough to read. And that's just the kind of guy Sookie's been looking for. Maybe that's why, when she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn't just drive on by. He hasn't got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as scary and sexy - and dead - as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia, he's sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie's help - because whoever took his memory now wants his life.
Ja, nå blir det bare mer og mer spennende, synes jeg. Ikke bare kommer det flere nye, overnaturlig skapninger inn på banen i denne boka, men Sookies kjærlighetsliv forandrer seg også ganske drastisk. Den vrien liker jeg absolutt! Samtidig så er det "noe ekstra" med akkurat det som skjer likevel, slik at man ikke kan spå hundre prosent sikkert hva som nå vil skje videre etter bok 4, på en måte rykker man tilbake til start. Men, alt til sin tid... Acting on impulse, I shared my wish. "I just hope to not be beaten up," I said, my weariness and the hour combining in an ill-timed burst of honesty. "I don't want to go to the hospital. I don't want to see a doctor." I didn't want to have to ingest any vampire blood, either, which would cure you in a hurry but had various side effects. "So my resolution is to stay out of trouble," I said firmly. Dead to the world er helt klart favoritten min så langt. Boka er original, den har et spennende plot med flere forskjellige tråder som samles til slutt, og som nevnt enda bedre enn de tidligere bøkene. Jeg prøver å spre bøkene litt mellom alt det andre jeg leser slik at jeg kan "spare" dem så lenge som mulig, men det varer neppe lenge før neste bok blir tatt fram. Men det er jo bare positivt, forsåvidt. |
