The third Southern Vampires Mystery finds Sookie going to Jackson to look for Bill, who has been kidnapped. We get to meet Alcide Herveaux, who is a werewolf (and a contractor, by day). Alcide takes Sookie to a were bar called Josephine's, so she can "listen" in on conversations and see if she can determine where Bill is being held. She discovers that the King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington, has him at his compound. She is badly hurt in the club during a fight and Russell is forced to take her and Eric to his mansion to help her recover. Once daylight comes Sookie is able to rescue Bill and get him out, but then Alcide's crazy ex-girlfriend, Debbie Pelt, locks her in the trunk with him and Sookie almost dies when Bill wakes up, exhausted and sick and latches onto her brutally without realizing who she is (there was a lot going on in this book). Eventually Sookie makes it out alive and asks Eric to take her home, which he does, only to find a pack of weres hanging out in her house. Eric and Bill (who caught up to them) make short work of the weres and Sookie rescinds their invitations to her house. Poor Sookie is pretty banged up at the end of the book, physically and mentally. Don't worry, Sookie. I have a feeling something good is coming up just around the corner :)
