In Definitely Dead Andy and his sister Portia are planning a double wedding (not to each other of course) and Portia makes it clear to Sookie that she is only invited as a server and not a guest however Andy’s fiancé rectifies the situation. Sookie is now dating the weretiger Quinn. While out one night the couple is attacked by newly bitten teenage werewolves. Because this is witnessed by humans, the teens are arrested and murdered in jail. Sookie is recovering at home when Mr. Cataliades, the queen’s demon secretary, comes to take Sookie to New Orleans to settle her cousin Hadley’s estate. Hadley was a relatively new vampire and the Queen’s lover; she was murdered by a jealous vampire named Waldo. Mr. Cataliades is surprised Sookie is not ready to leave and it is discovered his niece, working as a messenger for the Queen, was murdered on Sookie’s own property before she could deliver the message that Mr. Cataliades would be arriving. Bill goes with them to New Orleans.
Hadley's apartment is locked under the spell of the landlord, a young witch named Amelia Broadway. Amelia removes the spell and they discover the body of a shapeshifter in a closet. But it is not a body after all, it is a newly turned vampire and he attacks the two women. The police break up the attack (vampire police) and Sookie and Amelia are taken to the hospital. While there Eric and Bill visit and Eric forces Bill to drop a bombshell on Sookie. Bill tells her the Queen forced him to return to Bon Temps to procure Sookie’s talent for the Queen’s use. He is to do this in any way possible even using seduction if necessary. I was pretty pissed at this revelation. Sookie came under the Queen’s radar due to Hadley. She told the Queen all about Sookie’s unusually gift. Sookie sends Bill away and walks her badly injured self back to Hadley’s apartment.
Sookie visits Queen Sophie-Anne. Although she is grieving for her lost love, Hadley, the Queen has married the King of Arkansas, Peter Threadgill. It is a marriage of convenience. In a jealous fit Hadley stole a bracelet of the Queen’s that was a gift from her new husband. The Queen needs this back or else the King will have grounds to divorce her and take her kingdom. Sookie agrees to look for it in exchange for financial help (to buy witchcraft supplies) to learn about the new vampire in Hadley’s apartment. The Queen agrees and comes to the apartment with her entourage to watch Amelia and her friends cast a spell that will recreate the events that took place that night.
The group watches as the man, Jake Purifoy, is killed but can’t see who did it. Then they see Hadley change him into a vampire to save his life and she puts him in the closet. Hadley is killed the next night. While Sookie cleans and packs up the apartment, Quinn arrives. Turns out Jake was an employee of his that had went missing. Quinn and Sookie share a pretty damn steamy encounter (if I can say so myself, who knew keeping clothes on could be so much fun!) in the kitchen which ends just in time for the pair to be attacked and kidnapped by some weres.
Quinn manages to call the queen, asking for help. Sookie and Quinn are beaten up but they manage to escape from the van and flee into a swamp. The pair find a cabin and inside are the Pelt family (remember Debbie Pelt?). Eric shows up to help overtake the cabin. Sookie finally tells them the truth. The Pelts sadly accept the outcome and agree not to harm Sookie if she keeps this event secret from the pack who will punish the Pelt’s severely if this plot was ever found out.
Before going home to Bon Temps, Sookie and Quinn attend the ball of the newly married King and Queen. She found the bracelet and gave it to the Queen in secret. The King did not expect to see the bracelet. He was planning on it being missing so he could take over the Queen’s kingdom. Since this did not go as envisioned Peter starts an all-out attack on the New Orleans’ vampires. Sookie almost dies... again and is saved by Bill.. again. She escapes the building through the Queen’s bedroom where she sees Sophie-Anne, her bodyguard Andre and Peter fighting. Andre kills King Peter.
Sookie takes Quinn who is wounded back to the apartment and puts him to bed. Bill stops by to confesses he truly fell in love Sookie and still loves her but she tells him to leave and never come back. The next day after accidentally turning her lover Bob into a cat, Amelia asks Sookie if she can stay with her in Bon Temps. She needs to hide out from her coven while she figures out how to fix Bob. Sookie accepts and the two new friends head home.
