Our view
With “Dead and Gone”, the ninth of “The Southern Vampire Mysteries”, loose ends are tied up and Sookie Stackhouse is asked for more than before. Several storylines, one about her fae relatives, converge in an ending that leaves some readers reeling. Others find the route there wandering and uneven, with little growth in the main characters; this is also where some gave up on the series.
