I've been thinking about where the next book in the series can go and this is what I've come up with.
Eric talks about the compulsion/bond to do what the maker says... even when you desperately want to get away. So, Eric is a sheriff of backwater Louisiana and he's said that he has no interest in becoming a King. It seems to me like he is trying not to draw too much attention to himself- like he doesn't want to make himself too powerful...maybe too useful to his nasty maker? I think his maker is still out there and Eric doesn't want to become an instrument again. And with Bill's new program it would be so easy for a maker to check up on one of his children!... another reason for Eric to dislike Bill.
Sookie will just have to kill off this maker too. But what about the bond she shares with Eric? Will she also feel the compulsion to do as the maker says through Eric? This would definitely be useful to an old vampire- having Eric AND Sookie doing his will. He will want to strengthen that bond between Eric and Sookie...maybe make her another Renfield.
This also explains why Eric is so good to his followers and why he cried over Clancy's death. Eric wants to be a strong and just leader, unlike his maker. It's like a Daddy complex. My dad didn't love me so I'll do one better and love my children.
Come on Kari, what are your theories?

I think you may be on to something with Eric's maker. This obviously has to be addressed since Bill's was brought in so early on and the books keep discussing relationship between maker and child (is that what it's called?). Remember, it was also brought up with Mickey and Tara. Mickey had to obey his maker when she called upon him. I think it would not do the series justice if Eric's maker wasn't brought up. I hope Sookie kills him. Better yet, I hope Eric does! Wonder how that could even happen...
Bottom line: There has to be some conflict brought in with Eric to tease us readers that Eric and Sookie may not end up together. Although I hope they do <333
I would LOVE it if Eric killed his maker! That would really be a testament to how strong Eric and Sookie's bond is... and how much he looooves her. Great idea!
