Reading Ahead: May 2013, part 4

Here we are with the final wrap-up, and a bit of sad news for some.  What do I mean, well, let's look at the list and then discuss, shall we?

Dead Ever After, by Charlaine Harris

Echoes of My Soul, by Robert K. Tanenbaum

Robert B. Parker’s Wonderland, by Ace Atkins

The Apple Orchard, by Susan Wiggs

Followers of Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse novels and fans of HBO's True Blood alike are in mourning the end of Sookie's adventures, as Dead Ever After is the thirteenth and final Sookie Stackhouse novel.  True Blood will continue on, as it only loosely followed the plot of the novels after the first season.  But for now, at least, Sookie is going the way of Harry Potter and other beloved characters, and fading from the spotlight.  However, fans, take heart!  There's no telling what other kinds of mischief Charlaine Harris might be getting up to in the future, so keep an eye out!
