Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris

Dead to the World is the fourth book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I think I said this before, but it's been a while since I've read through a series this quickly. They're such entertaining and easy reads that as soon as I finish one I'm ready to start right in on the next.

In this novel a witch casts a spell on Eric erasing his personality. He knows what he is and what that means, but that is all he can remember. Sookie becomes his caretaker until the situation can be resolved. She quickly begins to fall for this kinder, gentler version of Eric. Meanwhile, she is also searching for her brother Jason, who has disappeared and may have been kidnapped by the witches.

While Bill barely appears in this novel, it's kind of interesting seeing the alternate version of Eric, though at times I found myself missing the egotistical smartass version. And while I am a Sookie/Bill shipper all the way, I was also mildly amused by the relationship that sprung up between the two in this story.
