Harris has been praised as having "navigated that trickiest of authorial turns — from 'excellent genre writer' to 'blockbuster [author] creating her own genre: contemporary light vampire-romance'" (The Dallas Morning News) and Dead Reckoning is no exception. Long-time fans of the series as well as those who have just discovered it through True Blood will not want to miss out on the latest from Charlaine Harris.
