Dead Ever After - Charlaine Harris

Well....
it's an end of an era.
The Sookie Stackhouse era.
And honestly,
I'm a little confused.

I've loved my Sookie Stackhouse
books. 
Or rather, 
I loved the first few books.
Then,
on top of the vampires,
werewolves,
shapeshifters,
came the 
fae,
demons,
and witches.
It became a little too much.
And Sookie stopped being a strong character.
Yes in each book
someone was trying to kill her,
or someone she loved.
You'd think with all this
she would be a strong force.
Yet, she still depends on others to help her out.

Dead Ever After
brings back many characters
from past series.
It was nice to see where they are now.
However,
there was nothing too exciting here.
People conspired to kill her
(old news).
Eric needed to choose between
Sookie or the Queen of Oklahoma
(nothing new).
Bill.... well he was still brooding.
Sam... was as hot as ever.

It ended peacefully.
Nothing too shocking.
Nothing too unexpected.
Did we think there would be a big bang?
Maybe.
But you don't get one.
And maybe that's what she wanted
A happily/dead ever after.
