The one where Eric & Sookie say “Goodnight”…
Hope everyone is fully recovered from your True Blood fangovers…it’s time to sit back, relax, grab yourself something to drink. Here are my bloody thoughts on the True Blood Season 6 premiere episode! This week, we ask the question, “Who are you, really?” I mean…REALLY. That’s the question many of us have been dying to […]

We hope you can forgive us today for being a bit distracted by a certain tiny, little, premiere event that has been taking place in LA. However with just 4 days to go until True Blood returns to our screens – 4 DAYS!!!!! the first reviews of Season 6 are beginning to roll in from […]

WARNING: CURSE WORDS AT PLAY!!!! Do you like my title? Do you see how I did that? The final book in Ms.Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse series has come full circle….literally.
HBO to show Season 5 Recap
According to HBO.com, a 15 minute recap of True Blood Season 5 is to air on the channel at 9.45pm (ET) on Friday May 24th. This seems a little early to me, but hey, I’ll take what I can get, and with a little bit of luck it may include a few moments with the […]
Farewell Sookie: ATD & Tor.com Rereads DAG
Charlaine Harris is saying “Farewell Sookie” in a series of videos, where she reads parts of each book – as well as sharing her own thoughts on each one – thanks to Gollancz Books. This time she talks about her personal favorite (and mine), “All Together Dead”. Can you guess which part she read to […]

Watch as the Maker, Charlaine Harris reads from “Dead As A Doornail” (DAAD) and shares her thoughts on the book, thanks to Gollancz Books. Meanwhile…our friend Whitney over at Tor.com posted her review from her re-read of the series – this time covering “From Dead To Worse” (FDTW). You can check both of them out […]
A short review of “Playing Possum”
It is September, and school is back in session for the students of the world. To help celebrate this right of passage, Charlaine Harris (and several other authors) has recently published a collection of short stories that have a school theme. The anthology is entitled “An Apple for a Creature” and contains what could possibly […]
True Blood Season 5: Year-end Report Card
With school officially back in session, we thought we would use this opportunity to ‘school’ you on what we thought about True Blood Season 5 as a whole! Ready or not…class is now in session! Can you please raise your hands if you’re in attendance? (Looks around the classroom.) Ah yes…we have Evie, B, and […]
True Blood Review: The One Where We Say Goodbye
And then there were none. The season 5 journey with our Viking and Telepath…and those other characters…ended in a literal blood bath in the True Blood season finale entitled “Save Yourself” written by Alan Ball. Not only was this the last episode of the season, it also marked the end of Mr. Ball’s reign as […]
The True Blood Episode with a Thousand Names
You never know what you are going to get with the penultimate episode of a season. So color me surprised when they changed the episode name 3 times. If you recall a few months ago, we first reported this episode would be titled “Finally”, and then it was changed to “The Dead Faerie Sings”, before […]
Episode 9 Recap: The one with the f%)king traitor!
We’re into the final third of season 5 with episode 9, “Everybody wants to rule the world”, and just when we thought things couldn’t get any more bizarre, yep, they actually do. This was one of the strongest episodes so far this season, and my inner-trubie is definitely doing a happy dance today. As we […]
When True Blood Met Harry Potter
In this episode we learned that a Harry Potter reference can be used in any television show if you pick the right moment. I thought of the Harry Potter series twice while watching ‘Somebody that I used to know’. We learned that the phrase “You are mine” does not belong exclusively to Bill or Eric. […]
Episode 7 recap: The One Where Godric Crashed The Party
So far in season 5 every new episode has been better than the last one, not so this week, with “In the beginning” not at all living up to the previous episode’s high standard. It could be the mid-season lull, or it could be that Brian Buckner is one of the least humorous of the […]
The One Where Book Sookie Made a Cameo
The sixth episode of True Blood’s fifth season was caught up in a lot of hype, due to it airing on the final day of Comic-Con 2012. The True Blood panel was held on Saturday and by now everyone has seen the video(s) of that panel. I am sure for some, that Comic-Con fever has […]
True Blood Review: The one where Sookie pukes…
In the fifth installment of True Blood season 5 titled; “Let’s Boot & Rally”….we learn Alcide really knows how to treat a lady…you can find anything on Google…the best way to a vampire’s heart is by making that vampire jealous…the Authority isn’t all that it seems, and Pam has a natural instinct as a maker. […]
Episode 4 Recap – The one where Sookie has a bad day
Straight up confession before I begin, I’m still a bit of a trubie and there are still things about this crazy show that I really do love. So with that in mind, let’s get started on season 5, episode 4, “We’ll meet again”. First up is Miss Sookie Stackhouse, who seems to be having a […]
True Blood Review: Why must the Authority Always Win?
There are times I am not sure which is worse; the time between the seasons or the week between Sundays during the summer. Well my fellow addicts, we have had some time to reflect on Episode 50 (Authority Always Wins). And as expected, it was very jam-packed. My first impressions of it were: Yes! There […]
Deborah Court Does Deadlocked
You remember our old friend and author, Deborah Court, don’t you? Well, we’re happy to tell you…SHE’S BACK! Unfortunately, she’s not posting a new fanfic for you. Instead, she will be doing a review of the penultimate 12th novel in the Sookie Stackhouse series, “Deadlocked”! Yes, you read that right! Deborah is going to share […]
3 Days To Go – Promo & Reviews
Another day nearer to the new season of True Blood, which returns in just 3 days time (not that anyone is counting of course). Another day means another promo, this time introduced by Ryan Kwanten. WARNING: There may be a kiss in this promo that you don’t really want to see! As we move ever […]
Advanced “Deadlocked” Review
Whilst the very early reviews of the new Sookie Stackhouse Novel were pulled down as swiftly as they went up, Mel and Liz over at True-blood.net have managed to get their advanced Deadlocked reviews up and seemingly staying. (For the time being anyway). Warning – there are some spoilers ahead – don’t cross the line […]
