Club dead book review (sookie Stackhouse series)

Club Dead is book 3 in the series and it isn't as impressive as book 1 or 2. It starts very slow and bill is no longer in the picture (sigh) and sookie needs to find her missing and unfaithful vampire. She's paired up with  Alcide who in the television series is played by Joe Manganello from magic mike. The character Alcide is very plain and sort of dull. It's hard to see him as desirable because he is so boring. I mean Even his home is a "Symphony of beige." Literally. But things heat up because Eric the world's most suave vampire shows up yet again to make sookie and the reader sexually frustrated. They end up at this super gay mansion like it's ran by the gay vampire equivalent of Hugh Hefner oh its so great I loved it. And there is this character called Curly who in my mind I pictured as prince. Even though he is very straight.  It was still enjoyable just not as enjoyable as the first two. I give Club Dead probably a 7-10.
