Grave Sight

I'll admit that i only picked this book up is because i have enjoyed her Sookie Stackhouse series, and i think i like this the story line a little more than the Sookie books. Ever since Harper Connelly survived a zap from a lightning bolt, she's been able to find dead people. Harper is protected as well as assisted by her step brother Tolliver Lang, with whom her relationship is complex to say the least. In the first book in the series, they travel to the Ozarks to find a missing teenage girl and are entwined in a town filled with secrets, lies, and a murderer.

The mystery was a little easy to figure out but the story held my intrest, and it will be interesting to see how the characters develop in further novels.

I read this for the Summer Book Challenge the pick a cast category.

Sookie Stackhouse Series Books 1-7

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is no typical Southern belle. She can read minds. And she’s got a thing for vampires. Which, in a town like Bon Temps, Louisiana, means she’ll have to watch her back—and neck… - Product Description Amazon dot com.

I found these books to be quick reads that are highly addictive. I love the crazy world that Charlaine Harris created for Sookie, I do however loathe Sookies taste in style a lot of the time i cringe at the descriptions of what she is wearing. They are full of great well developed Characters, and are highly entertaining.

The Harry Potter Series

After many years of passing them buy I finally finally read the Harry Potter Series. I'm not sure what took so long to finally pick those stories up, but I am glad and a little sad that I did, While i found the first 6 stories absolutely delightful fantasy that read quite quickly, The Seventh i found lacking a little bit. The 7th Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is full of good versus evil, and hidden memories. Harry's last adventure is a long, twisted and winding one, and sometimes a tad confusing, but almost impossible to put down, with the exception of feeding your family. There were "revelations" in this book that i simply did not care for and that seemed forced. I think the end was tied up just a little too perfectly with way to many hidden deaths that had nothing to do with the overall plot and character growth. For being one of the more hyped about series, i just expected more to the ending It was a climatic ending, but having read the other books one after the other getting to this one, it seemed different the writing seemed off somehow. It just seemed that there should have been something more. All in all i am glad that i read these, and plan to keep them for my daughter to read when she is old enough.
