25. All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris -- Book 7 of the Sookie Stackhouse novels. This one had her at a multi-state vampire summit. Yeah...lot's of intrigue. It was a real page turner. Oh...and that little thing that happened at the end...I don't see how that could turn out at all good.

I'm trying to figure out what you meant by "that little thing that happened at the end." I think All Together Dead was the strongest, plot-wise, of the SS books. However, I didn't like the relationship with Quinn to begin with and thought the only redeeming quality of it would be if someone commented that Sookie "put a tiger in her tank." (If you don't know what that means, go here: http://www.adslogans.co.uk/hof/ad_esso.html) That no one did was a big disappointment. Now, you get to read From Dead to Worse, the book with no plot, and Dead and Gone, the book that ups the violence quotient in the the series by about a gazillion. I actually found the end of D&G kind of nauseating. I was really frustrated with Harris by the end of the ninth book. Can you tell?
