Undead and Unreturnable-Mary Janice Davidson

Or better titled: Undead and Unremarkable. I have to say I love the quips and dialogue in this book. There are some extremely funny comments which almost made the book worth reading, but sadly there was no real story or plot developement. I got the end of the very short (250 pages) book and cannot really figure out what I read about. Even the 250 pages is deceptive because there are 42 chapters. Add a bunch of empty space at the beginning and end of each chapter and you basically have a book with funny lines about nothing. Save your money and wait for paperback. This is a serial sized book for a hardback price.

Definitely Dead-Charlaine Harris

The latest in the Sookie Stackhouse vampire dective series. Returning with the cast of wonderful secondary characters Sookie is called upon to go to New Orleans to clean up her deceased cousin, Hadley’s, apartment. Yet someone does not want her to.

I get the feeling that I must have missed a book because I don’t remember “cousin Hadley” and this story reads as though I should know about her. I will have to go through the back list and referesh my memory and pick up the missing one if that is the case.
