Summary
If you think your family relationships are complicated,
think again: you haven't seen anything like the ones in Bon
Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse is dealing with a whole
host of family problems, ranging from her own kin (a non-human
fairy and a telepathic second cousin) demanding a place in her
life, to her lover Eric's vampire sire, an ancient being who
arrives with Eric's 'brother' in tow at a most inopportune
moment. And Sookie's tracking down a distant relation of her
ailing neighbour (and ex), Vampire Bill Compton. In addition to
the multitude of family issues complicating her life, the
werewolf pack of Shreveport has asked Sookie for a special
favour, and since Sookie is an obliging young woman, she
agrees. But this favour for the wolves has dire results for
Sookie, who is still recovering from the trauma of her
abduction during the Fairy War.
