Sookie Countdown #9... Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris
Book nine in the Sookie Stackhouse series was the one book that had me reaching for my hanky by the end of the book. This installment gave us a sneak peak at how brutal and cruel the fae could be if you were the object of their hate. Unfortunately, Sookie was the object of this hate and the end result crushed her emotionally and physically. We lost some favorite characters in this episode and it made me sad. The book begins with Eric and Sookie sort of getting "married"... Of course, Eric tricks Sookie and she didn't realize they were vampire wedded until it was too late. He had his reasons for doing what he did....
