  • From Left to Write | 30 May 2012

    There were more than a few points in the book when I found myself wishing things were progressing a bit faster...I felt like Harrris was tired of writing Sookie adventures and was ready to be finished with the series

    I say good riddance. I have loved Sookie and her world for a long time, but after this book it seems to me that it's running out of juice.

    I must admit, if Harris hadn’t promised to end with the next one, this series is getting to me close to the end of my patience.

    Deadlocked has no plot, none whatsoever. Nor does it have anything else going for it that may keep the reader’s attention.

  • Kirkus Reviews | 1 May 2012

    A dull, overly complicated entry in the swampy gothic romance that feeds fans and starves newcomers.

  • Fangs For The Fantasy | 7 May 2012

    Where was the plot? Where? We had an event at the beginning of the book and then the rest of the plot was jammed in the last few chapters at the very end. In between we had a whole lot of nothing.

    Sookie’s dilemmas and choices have become complacent and monotonous.

    Several story lines fizzle out in this novel which makes for a downer read.

    Sookie Stackhouse has and will always have a special place in my heart but the last few books in this series has left me so utterly disappointed and deflated.

    Harris is tying up loose ends. She's also, as other readers complained, moving certain things in a different direction. To do that, she has to spend a lot of time on things that may seem trivial.

    The plot was pretty much the same as all the rest of the books in the series.

  • Love Vampires

    Deadlocked makes a gripping and engrossing read – a one- or two-sitting reading is a distinct possibility here – so take my advice and remember to finish your chores and switch off the phone before turning the opening pages

  • The Daily Quirk | 30 May 2012

    I think you really need to start from the beginning to get the full enjoyment of these books because the last few have really centered around finishing out her story instead of adding a whole lot of new plot points.

    There was some laughs, some banter, some action – it’s just the plot was boring

    Deadlocked brings back the classic Sookie Mystery...she got a spark of inspiration for this one.

  • Inside of a Dog | 17 May 2012

    This one has lots of tension and some quiet, happy moments too. All in all this was a great episode for those of us who have been following along with Sookie's adventures since the first book.

    Deadlocked doesn’t hit the spot like previous instalments...seems to be a lot of ‘filler’;

    I enjoyed the book, but the resolution of the fae storyline was not fleshed out enough for me...I do think this one is stronger than the last two installments.

    I read this book and I wondered why I was still reading this series at all. Simply, it feels like Harris is just going through the motions.

    it reaffirmed why I love this series so much. The world that Ms. Harris has created is phenomenal and so rich with supernatural characters, you want to pack your bags and move to Bon Temps just to experience it.
