Synopsis
Sookie Stackhouse
enjoys her life, mostly. She’s a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has
a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with
her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life – but things just seem
to happen to her and her friends. Now her brother Jason is about to turn into a
were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal
sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the
local shifter population.
She’s
afraid not just because Jason is at risk, but because his new were-brethren
suspect Jason himself may be the shooter. Sookie has until the next full moon
to find out who’s behind the attacks – unless the killer decides to find her
first.
