From Dead to Worse/Charlaine Harris/359 pages

From Dead to Worse is the 8th title in the Sookie Stackhouse series.  This time around Sookie is just back from the summit where a terrorist bomb took out a good chuck of the Louisiana vampires.  There are internal wars in the Vamps community and the local werewolf pack.  Sookie seems to be caught in the middle of both, but comes out unscathed and even a little on top after the dust settles. 

Harris gives us another well-written novel, but the plot seems a little tame compared to the previous books.  While the plot of the changes in both communities were built up for suspense, the answers seemed a little anti-climatic.  When finished, I felt this was more of a bridge book between #7 and #9 in the series and more of a set up for another big arc in the storyline than a suspenseful title in and of itself.
