Okay, more rereads! But wait, you might say. Don't you have hundreds of books you've bought and never read? And don't you have stacks of unread library books as well? Why are you rereading books? Yes, yes, I do, you are absolutely correct. I don't know what compels me to reread books, but I do. I just can't get into anything new right now. So, Sookie it is!
Eric has loaned Sookie out to a nest of vampires in Dallas who are missing a vampire. Bill goes along with her to keep her safe and fails miserably. Nice job, Bill. Sookie ends up trapped in the basement of the Fellowship of the Sun church, which preaches against vampires. They kidnapped Farrell, the missing Dallas vampire, with the help of Godfrey, a vampire who wants to "meet the sun" and die. The Fellowship is planning on murdering Farrell and Sookie together with Godfrey, but luckily Sookie is able to escape with the help of a shapeshifter (Bill arrives minutes too late, or so he claims). There were some good Eric scenes in this one (spoiler alert: Eric is my favorite) so I enjoyed it.
The poor Baudelaires are shipped off to a village called V.F.D. to be raised by the entire community, since no one wants to be personally responsible for them. The town is unique in that it is covered in crows, and ruled by a council of elders who have a whole lot of stupid rules, like no mechanical devices or books. The town handyman, Hector, takes them home with him to eat and sleep. Hector is a decent enough guy, but he's terrified of the council and refuses to speak up for the kids. Violet, Sunny, and Klaus find couplets they suspect are written by Isadora Quagmire, their missing friend, and hope that she and her brother Duncan are being held by Count Olaf nearby. The town arrests an innocent man, claiming he's Olaf, and the real Count Olaf shows up disguised as a detective. When the fake Olaf is found dead before the townspeople can burn him at the stake, the orphans are accused of his murder and locked up. They manage to escape, and free Duncan and Isadora at the same time, but as a result they become fugitives from the law and now have really nowhere to go and no one to turn to. Ah :( Poor kids.
