Without being in her head knowing that she's thinking 'this is just for cover', there'd be a danger of it looking like she's just cheating on Bill. Also, I'm not sure I'm ready for the actual visual of Eric in pink lycra!<br /><br />My absolute favourite part of this book is the part where Sookie asks Eric, a vampire who's already got a blood bond with her through devious (though IIRC slightly less overtly dodgy than the TV version) means, and who she knows wants to have her, and while her boyfriend's away, she calls asks him to escort her to an orgy as a bodyguard. Eric turns up and she says she trusts him. He replies 'That's... crazy'. Yes! Yes it is.<br /><br />Though awesome, of course. She should have just dropped Bill for Eric in the first place.Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203399623895589924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58189606311340551482011-12-02T05:06:24.497-05:002011-12-02T05:06:24.497-05:00Great review Billie!

Much as I enjoyed the stories (even though I think the writing isn't all that great), not enough to read them again! Well, I probably will to write another post on Season 5. ;o)<br /><br />I had completely forgotten the orgy storyline from this book... I thought they pretty much invented the whole Maryanne thing for the show!<br /><br />And I'm wondering since the TV series made Godric Eric's maker, what will they do when his maker in the book shows up? :o)<br /><br />And I'm team Eric all the way! Bill is too blah. :pCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
