Someone is shooting shifters and Weres. Not cool. First a young woman is killed outright, then Calvin Norris is gravely injured (Calvin is Crystal's uncle, Crystal being Jason's werepanther girlfriend. Calvin is also interested in courting Sookie), and then Sam is shot. Sookie asks Eric if she can borrow a bartender to help out at Merlotte's while Sam is recuperating, and Eric lends her a new vampire, Charles. Sookie's house is set on fire one night, and Claudine, her fairy godmother, is able to get her out in time and Charles, who is staying nearby at Bill's, kills the arsonist. As if she doesn't have enough to worry about, Sookie is also concerned for her friend Tara, who is dating a vampire named Mickey. Mickey is bad news, even Eric warns Sookie to stay away from him. Turns out Tara is in the relationship unwillingly and wants out, but is afraid Mickey will kill her, so Sookie turns to Eric for help. Eric agrees to get Mickey off Tara's back if Sookie will tell him what happened between them while he was cursed, since he still can't remember, and she finally does. Eric does hold up his end of the bargain, and Tara is finally safe. Sookie is shot, but she's okay. Turns out there were two shooters: the new cook at Merlotte's (I actually remembered that part when I started rereading it) who hates shifters, and Charles, who was sent to kill Sookie in order to hurt Eric (there was a lot going on in this book). Oh, and Alcide's father is killed while competing to be the new packmaster. Poor Alcide.
