Author Charlaine Harris took to her Facebook account the other day to mention her disappointment that some asshat in Germany obtained an advanced copy of DEAD EVER AFTER, the final book in her much beloved Southern Vampires/Sookie Stackhouse series and posted spoilers online. As if that wasn’t bad enough in and of itself, so-called fans have read the spoilers and have expressed their disappointment in how Sookie’s story ends, adding further fuel to the burning disappointment that Charlaine is experiencing.
Several authors and readers have commented on the situation in support of Ms Harris. I have not read the spoilers myself, nor any of the crap that these people have posted. I, for one, do not want to have the series ruined for me, thank you very much. I have been reading the Sookie books for years and I’ll continue the journey with the Bon Temps gang right up to the very end of the last page.
Speaking of the end, however, there is some good news that I can share – Apparently DEAD EVER AFTER doesn’t tie up all of the loose ends for all of the characters, and really, how could it? For those of us who simply can’t stand not knowing what happened to all of our beloved Bon Temps peeps, Charlaine decided to take pity on us an release one more Sookie book. It’s not a novel, mind you, but a coda, that deals with the characters alphabetically to tell us what happens with each of them.
Here is the Amazon description:
Release date: October 29, 2013 | Series: Sookie Stackhouse
Dead Ever After marked the end of the Sookie Stackhouse novels—a series that garnered millions of fans and spawned the hit HBO television show True Blood. It also stoked a hunger that will never die…a hunger to know what happened next.
With characters arranged alphabetically—from the Ancient Pythoness to Bethany Zanelli—bestselling author Charlaine Harris takes fans into the future of their favorite residents of Bon Temps and environs. You’ll learn how Michele and Jason’s marriage fared, what happened to Sookie’s cousin Hunter, and whether Tara and JB’s twins grew up to be solid citizens.
This coda provides the answers to your lingering questions—including details of Sookie’s own happily-ever-after…
The book will feature extensive interior art by acclaimed Sookie artist Lisa Desimini, including a Sookieverse Alphabet, color endpapers, and several full-page black and white interior illustrations.

As my readers probably know, I am a huge fan of author Larissa Ione’s Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series. Her particular demons, vampires, angels, and horsemen of the apocalypse are some of the sexiest supernatural creatures in print today.
I happened to pick up a copy of the third book in the Lords of Deliverance series this weekend, LETHAL RIDER, and was pleasantly surprised to find that her publishers included a quote from the review that I wrote for SIN UNDONE, the fifth book of the Demonica series. I had no idea that the quote had been included and it was such a thrill to see ParanormalBites.com listed along with reviewers such as Publishers Weekly, USA Today.com , GoodReads.com, and RT Book Reviews among others.
Writing Paranormal Bites is such a wonderful escape from my everyday life for me and supporting my favourite authors is a true labour of love. The blog was conceived towards the end of my marriage and it has seen me through the turbulent time surrounding my divorce, a couple of moves, my return to school not once but twice in the past couple of years, and the adjustment involved in being a now single parent. It has suffered a few periods of sporadic posting as a result but I like to think of it as “the little blog that could”, much like it’s author.
Seeing my quote in LETHAL RIDER might seem like a small thing to most people but to me it was like receiving an unexpected act of kindness and it really made my day. Thank you so much Larissa and Hachette Books/Grand Central Publishing for the recognition! You’ve inspired me even more.
They are here. They ride. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, Regan Matthews, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse – he’s about to become a father.
Demon-slayer Regan Matthews never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he’s ever wanted – a family.
