The Sookie Stackhouse Companion (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood) [Hardcover]

I've finished "The Sookie Stackhouse Companion" by Charlaine Harris.

Product Description

Charlaine Harris has topped the bestseller charts and become a nationwide phenomenon, thanks to the unconventional, and otherworldly, life of Sookie Stackhouse. Now take a closer look at Sookie and her family, friends, enemies, adventures, and-of course-the lovers who set her world on fire ...

Visit Bon Temps, the small Louisiana town that Sookie calls home, with a detailed map created by Charlaine herself, and learn the characteristics of the supernaturals who live there: vampires, two- natured, and fae. Examine all the branches of Sookie's family tree. And eavesdrop on the private conversations between rival vampires Eric and Bill.

Also, enjoy the compelling, never-before-published novella "Small- Town Wedding," in which Sookie accompanies her shape-shifting boss, Sam, to his brother's wedding in Texas, where happily-ever-after seems very far away ....

Exclusive interviews with True Blood creator Alan Ball and author Charlaine Harris-complied from fan questions - will satisfy your craving for all things Sookie, as will trivia questions, recipes (including Caroline Bellefluer's famous chocolate cake!), and a concordance to the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

My Review:

I really enjoyed the short story at the beginning of the book and it was refreshing.

I'm glad that I read this companion book because it reintroduced us to the players of the books and I have to admit I forgot who some of them were but this reminded me who they were, etc.!  The family tree really helped me with who was related to who!

Definitely going to be trying out the recipes (they sure sound delicious)!  Yum!

Really happy to see the synopsis and recap of the earlier book because I kind of forgot what each was about!

5/5

Thanks Penguin Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
