REVIEW:
If you’re a fan of True Blood or the original Sookie novels, then this is a wonderful companion for you as it not only contains some facts to do with the setting but also includes essentials like recipes used by characters. It’s quirky, it brings the dark world closer to our own and with wonderful additions from missing pieces within the stories (such as Eric and Bill phone conversations) as well as giving northern Louisiana a deeper flavour for the readers imagination
Finally add to this maps, Sookie’s family tree and of course a whole host of other factoids as well as background material which overall will be a well thumbed through addition to any fans collection. A wonderful gift at any time of year.
