the eighth novel of the Southern Vampire series, From Dead to Worse (2008) continued from All Together Dead (2007), packing both romance n action into this supernatural series. after surviving a vampire hotel explosion, Sookie was back at her hometown, a small town called Bon Temps in Louisiana. she continued to distant herself from her ex-boyfriend, vampire Bill, while getting anxious not hearing anything from her current boyfriend, Quinn the were-tiger. when a were war erupted in Shreveport due to loyalty problems, the vampires were also fighting over power by disgracing the current queen Sophie-Anne. Sookie was pulled into the havoc, determined to save all her friends. in this book, Sookie managed to find out about the origin of her telepathic by meeting her great-grandfather, who was actually a faerie.
the book was so engaging it was difficult to put down! it has gotten more n more impossible to randomly read 1 book out of the whole series, for its characters were often brought over from 1 book to another. if not read sequentially, many details will be missed n most often led to confusion. at some point, the book felt like a combination of short stories put together, involving different set of people, which of course Sookie was among them. personally, despite reading many negative comments on this installment, i felt that it was so much fun to read! Charlaine put in humor n tension where she saw fit, which completely got me spellbound again n again!
