A tidy wrap up of a much loved series

There have been some tough feedback on the final instalment of the Sookie Stackhouse series, but I did enjoy it. Would I have chosen this ending for Sookie, no. It was too tidy and love/life is not so simple.

But it gave me peace that my favourites who I had grown so attached to ended up in a position where they could have their happily ever after. A sober ending to an explosive passion filled series.

And if I miss the sparkling dance of lovers trying to overcome great trials and tribulations I can always listen to the other audiobooks in the series. This one is not for that.

Dissatisfied

Would you try another book written by Charlaine Harris or narrated by Johanna Parker?

I have read the whole of the series.

Any additional comments?

I felt really dissatisfied - she ended up with the nice bland man - so wrong when Bill was waiting for her. I suppose you are expected to believe that the Vamps will leave her alone when she marries Sam - don't talk such rot - they would still want to use her services and they will find a way around their agreement.
Very, very traumatic and heart aching but sadly a final ending I didn't believe -

stop all the hating

What's with all the hating? we all wanted Sookie to live happily ever after with Sam. Charlaine Harris did exactly as she always does, writes a great story with great characters where Sookie is the star and ends up fine in the end. This was a perfect example of the Sookieverse we have all come to love. Johanna Parker is the perfect Sookie and did a wonderful job. I could go on listening to Sookie stories for ever. Sad that this is the last full story.

A little dull for a ending

I have listened to all of the sookie stackhouse books now and for the finale book just seemed a bit of a let down. As always johanna parker dose a great job with the narrating. But with a story line that wonders and at some points seems a little random its a lack luster ending for a great book series.

Another exciting story

Would you listen to Dead Ever After again? Why?

I really enjoyed this one, the Sookie Stackhouse world is exciting, compelling and there's never a dull moment. I like this genre so much, I get lost in its' world. Would recommend this to any Sookie fan. If you've enjoyed the other books you'll love this one.

What did you like best about this story?

The excitement, you never know where it's going to go.

Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes in the other Sookie Stackhouse novels. Her voice really fits the character and the world, she makes Sookie come to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but I'm a busy person so tend to listen to all my audios whilst getting ready for work in the morning.

Everything I read I remember, everything I hear I remember...

So as you can imagine I will consume a book and move on never to return, this series of books however are the only ones I have gone back through multiple times. This is because the characters are so intricately designed they become real, the story lines while based in fantasy from the off never fail to surprise and thoroughly delight. I have never had such an all round almost tactile experience from something that I've read to make me come back to them so often and with that first time read anticipation it's nuts because I remember every word already.

They are utterly hilarious, full of blood-pumping action and downright hot in equal measure with so many more facets that will have you also coming back time and again.
The books do not copy the T.V. Show plot line they are completely different the anchors for both being the familiarity of the main characters but both being superb in their own ways.

A definite BUY IT NOW! you certainly will not regret it.
