Sookie needs to find a "normal" guy

I know that everyone in a relationship comes with extra baggage but Sookie's guy, Eric, comes with several trunk loads - or ship loads. As Sookie is helping other people to have happy lives, she needs one of her own. She's inherited money from her vampire cousin and now from her fairy godmother but the men in her life all seem to bring her into major danger - OK, it's often beyond their control, but still! Eric has a nasty new over-boss, Victor, who's like him and his people gone. There's trouble in the 'were community and a nasty fairy in Sookie's woods. Bill, her first love, is still in a very bad way after the fae attack with silver. However, her brother, Jason, has found a good woman; her best friend, Tara, is pregnant with twins and most of the people at the bar seem to be in a better place. Then, Eric's maker shows up with the former crown prince of Russia as his new boy toy!

Back in the reading mood

I started Laurie R. King's "The God of the Hive" and just couldn't get into it. Luckily, I left it for a few days and then I really started to enjoy the mystery. I guess I just had to be in the right mood. This book follows up "The Language of Bees" that left me so frustrated by not totally ending. I loved Sherlock's little granddaughter, Estelle, and Mary Russell's lack of knowledge about children. The introduction of Robert Goodman was marvelous. This "Puck" was a wonderful creation. I admit to being a little uncertain about Mary's anger with Mycroft over the whole funding thing - I'm probably too much of a product of my age.
