In this 12^th installment of Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mysteries Series (also known as HBO’s True Blood series) Sookie has got her hands full. Eric is visited by King Felipe to look into the disappearance of some loyal vampires. During his visit a shape shifter is killed on Eric’s lawn, and Eric and Sookie are the prime suspects in her murder. While Sookie is trying to figure out who framed her and Eric for murder, she is also trying to find a missing friend, get used to the fact that her Great Great  Grand Fairy Uncle Dermot (who looks alarmingly like her brother Jason) and  is living in her attic, while Claude (her now Fairy God Father) and Great Great Great Grandfather King Niall, look into who put a curse on Dermot and caused the death of her parents. Sookie has also come into possession of a cluviel dor, a fairy gift that allows its possessor one wish, a wish that someone is willing to kill for?

While I am a fan of Harris’ work and of the series, this book seemed to move a little slow. Once you get into a series that has 10 or more books, it becomes a bit redundant and slow. I have to say that I was surprised by the ending. I also thought what Sookie chose to do with the cluviel dor.
