Eric and Sookie

I’ve read through a lot of heated discussion boards that debate “Who will Sookie end up with,” and/or “Who is best for her.” In most cases those two generally don’t mix. I often find that the “cards” are stacked against logic, but I can’t help but try to sift through the nonsense to appease my need to feel captivated by the heroine’s romantic destiny. Yes, I’m a sap! Sue me!

Her quirky sense of humor reflects that with snarkiness that would make Pam proud. Unlike True Blood, the books upon which the TV series is based are told in the first person, from Sookie’s point of view, so the reader is constantly in her head.

Club Dead-Discovery- The tables start to turn in the third book and the dynamics between Bill-Sookie-Eric are really established more clearly.
