Dead As A Doornail Harris, Charlaine

Someone's hunting shifters in Bon Temps, and Sookie Stackhouse's brother Jason is on the list. When a sniper starts picking off local shapeshifters one by one, the tight-knit community goes into lockdown — and Sookie's drawn into the chaos whether she likes it or not. Between working at Merlotte's, navigating her complicated love life (Eric's still around, and still trouble), and dodging supernatural politics, she's got her hands full. Then Jason gets shot. Charlaine Harris cranks up the stakes in this fifth Southern Vampire Mystery, blending small-town charm with genuine danger. The usual mix of vampires, werewolves, and Bon Temps gossip is here, but the threat feels closer to home this time. If you're already invested in Sookie's world, this one keeps the momentum going. If you love paranormal mysteries with bite and a strong Southern Gothic vibe, dive in.
