Book Thirteen "Definitely Dead" by Charlaine Harris


The sixth book in this series, starts out with Quinn, a weretiger, meeting up with Sookie and asking her out. She figures it is a good idea to date someone other than a vampire, so she agrees to the date. Everything goes really well, until they are attacked by bitten werewolves.

To further complicate things, Sookie must go to New Orleans, to clean out her cousin Hadley's apartment, who recently passed away. Hadley was a vampire, so this would have been her second death. As she is cleaning out the apartment, both she and the landlord, Amelia, are attacked by a freshly turned vampire who had been stuffed in Hadley's closet.

They both survive, but the incident puts both women in the hospital. While Sookie is waiting to be seen by a doctor, she gets a visit from Bill and Eric. Both men get into a heated debate over who cares for Sookie more, and Eric forces Bill to admit the real circumstances of there chance meeting the first time at Merlotte's. Apparently Bill was supposed to find Sookie for the Queen of Louisiana, by any means necessary.

While in New Orleans, Sookie must also meet with the Queen, who had actually been intimate with Hadley. With the help of Amelia (who also happens to be a witch), they put a spell on the apartment so they can reinact what happened to Hadley the night of her death.

Quinn also comes to visit her while she is in New Orleans, but unfortunately, their reunion is shortened when they are kidnapped by werewolves. The Pelts (Debbie Pelt's family) have paid the werewolves to bring Sookie to them so they can torture her until she admits that she killed Debbie. When Sookie gets the upper hand with them, she admits that she did kill her, but that it was in self-defense. She refused the let them go until they promised that they would let her be.

Once everything is packed up and she is ready to head back home, Amelia admits to her that she turned her boyfriend into a cat on accident. She fears that the other witches in her coven will punish her for doing magic above her capabilities. So she and Bob(the boyfriend/cat) end up going back to Bon Temps with Sookie.
