I must admit, the fact that it had fairies from A Midsummer Night's Dream in it was the initial draw for me - I LOVE that play (and especially Puck =)) I think I already have the hots for Ash just from reading your review hehe ;-) I'm really glad to hear that she doesn't learn it all or become all-powerful overnight. That happens too often and I think it's boring. This will be my first novel featuring the Fey - I can't wait!! And I totally agree - the cover is gorgeous!

I think I'm going to like him MUCH! In answer to your question, no, I haven't read it YET ... although I've been meaning to for WEEKS now, lol. Everyone's been saying such great things about it and I'm SUPER scared it's going to let me down, BBBUT I will read it before the end of the month, hopefully, because I need a Debut Author book for The Story Siren's challenge ... sooo ... soon!<br /><br />And, yes, we should most definitely talk Eric Northman (!!!) ... uh ... wait ... Sookie Stackhouse, I mean :P I haven't read Dead in the Family yet (mostly because everyone else seems pretty unimpressed, so I doubt whether I'd like to own a hardcover version :s), but I LOVED the first 9 books, which I read in under a week near the beginning of the year (",)!!! *sigh* ERIC NORTHMAN!!! *swoon* Here's my review, but it's pretty general, since it covers all nine books: http://paranormal-obsession.blogspot.com/2010/02/southern-vampire-mysteries-sookie.html<br /><br />As much as I love Eric, OMG I. H.A.T.E. BILL! AAARRGGGHHHH!!!???!!! He is so totally uninteresting, but - what's more - he's a total bastard!!! I couldn't believe it when he betrayed Sookie, then wanted Eric to pay her off while he slinked off into the shadows! Seriously! I was completely shocked, but happy in a way ... because Sookie can do FAR far better (ERIC!) and now our favourite Viking has a fair chance :D<br /><br />The last book was pretty depressing, it actually made me cry :s The part right at the end where Eric is with Sookie in the hospital bed, and he's like "You're killing me." ... oh, man ... *sniff* *sniff* *BAWL* :(<br /><br />Otherwise, I LOVED the book where Eric's memory is wiped by the witches (for obvious reasons :) ... and every other Eric scene ... most of the story has sort of blurred in my head now, but I still remember important Eric bits ... gay Eric at the orgy (tee hee :D) ... Eric biting Sookie for the first time, when she is saving Bill (ugh. she shouldn't have bothered.) ... blood-bond formed ... engaged! ... depressing hospital bed scene. Those are my favourite parts :) I also really like Amanda and Pam (",) ... and I feel sorry for Sam, with the whole unrequited love thing ... bbbut Jason gets on my nerves, I want to *slap* him most of the time!!! One thing that annoys me is how Sookie keeps going from guy to guy, depending on who happens to be around at the time :o Alcide? Quinn? Bill? Eric? Sam? No Problem! I'm hoping she sticks with Eric in Dead in the Family. She'd better :o<br /><br />Have you watched True Blood? With the exception of Eric's deranged side-path and Bill's equally bad haircut, they've done an excellent job with the casting!!! ESPECIALLY Sam, lol ... for some reason I couldn't imagine an attractive thirty-something redheaded guy ... which meant I never really got into Sam very much, lol ... but True Blood's Sam is perfect, and SO cute :))) Now, whenever I picture the characters in my head, I always see them as they are in True Blood :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2897777812787333518.post-84248719559101291712010-05-21T09:33:38.707-07:002010-05-21T09:33:38.707-07:00Glad you loved it!

Haha, eve...Oooh, freaky yet swoon-worthy indeed!! <br /><br />Haha, every review I've read has compared Grimalkin (I think that's how you spell the cat's name?) to the cat from Alice in Wonderland.
