"Dead to the World" ist book #4 in the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Mysteris by author Charlaine Harris.
Story:When Sookie finds Vampire Sheriff Eric without any memories on the street she knows she is about to be involved in the vampire's affairs again - and her intention was to not be beaten up again! As if this wasn't enought after she had broken off with Bill, he is away in Peru and her brother Jason is missing. So she is to be alone with Eric, this nice, gently Eric who would do anything for her...
Characters:I always liked Sookie and this book has proved one more time, what an interesting character she is. Telephatic, attractive but only been in a relationship once before (with a vampire) and now about to lose her heart to the one she knows is everything but loveable.Furthermore, I always had a thing for Eric. He's just a "cool, bad vampire guy" and so different than more traditional Bill. Nevertheless, I liked this "new" Eric, too. He's charming and I can understand Sookie, that she had difficulty to resist him.It was a pity Bill only appeard so short. He isn't my favourite character, but he belongs to the story and I hope to read more about him in the next book, even if he sank in my favour after "Club dead".Some of my favourite sidekicks were back and I think, they make this series so enjoyable and complex. Alcide, Bubba und Sam whom I like more and more. Even Pam is nice in some kind of way in this book :)
Writing:The whole story is very complexe and they're so many mystical creatures I wonder how Harris stays on top of things. I remember, I had difficulty getting through book #2 of the series, but I read this one quite fast and there were no really boring parts, which is always a good thing to say. They story in this book had so many new characters and plots introduced, I wonder what is to come in the next 9 books :) Everything seems possible now.
I give 4 of 5 bottles of "TrueBlood" for "Dead as the world", because I really enjoyed it, but I think there is more to come. I'll probably start the next book soon :)
