Eric, Pam, Andre and Bill are a few of the vampires going and even Quinn is going in a working capacity. Louisiana will not be sending as many vampires as normal to the summit due to the damage hurricane Katrina did, their funds are depleted plus many did not survive. Besides working for the Queen with her special talent, she is to be the main witness for Sophie Anne's trial for murdering her new husband (Definitely Dead). But Sookie has gotten used to the extra padding in her bank account that working for the vampires has provided and she already made the commitment to work it. While getting ready for the vampire summit, everyone is telling her that it is a bad idea to go. Goes to her brother's impromptu wedding and shows that Hotshot knows how to throw a party! Gets to find out what it is like to make love to a warm blooded male (Quinn) and decides that she might be falling in love with him. Has a run in with Arlene, who is now a member of the fast growing Fellowship of the Sun. She gets invited to a wedding shower which is a major social success for her.

We start out with Sookie doing some everyday things around Bon Temps and meeting with some old friends. Ms Harris shows why she is a best seller in this action packed seventh installment of the Southern Vampire Series. I totally enjoyed it and can not wait till her next book in the series comes out as this one leaves a whole lot of loose ends to deal with. Add to all of this a plot to attack the vamps while they are all gathered together in one place and you get a non-stop roller coaster ride that you don't want to end. In the midst of the summit all kinds of things go wrong, as the usually do and Sookie has to try to put the pieces of the puzzle together, while at the same time trying to juggle a budding new relationship with Quinn, the WereTiger, deal with her bond with Eric, and try to deal with her hatred of Bill, her first love. She goes as an employee of the Vampire Queen of Louisiana who's lands have been devastated by Hurricane Katrina, as well as having had a lot of personal problems. In this one Sookie joins a group of vamps representing Louisiana at a Vampire Summit, where trials, weddings, and other vampire business is planned. I think that the Southern Vampires Series just keeps getting better.
