this is the first book in the sookie stackhouse series. very good fun light reading. will be getting the next book in this series. i read heavier stuff, like kathy reichs, john sanford, catherine coulter, so it's nice to read something fun and less gorey between thrillers. enjoyed this book very much. has lots of interesting characters and situations. charlaine harris is a great author, her harper connelly series is also very good.

I love the these books. They are very well written. No matter how many times I have read them, they are still a great read. It’s always nice to pull them back out again.

Fast read, aside from the main character, not too many of the other characters were very fleshed out, but that begins to get better later on in her series. The main story is about Sookie Stackhouse's love affair with Vampire Bill and solving a string of murders in the area that her brother Jason is being framed for. The story was decent and fast paced. Some of the sentence structure didn't make sense to me and at times I couldn't tell who was speaking but once again this gets better in her later novels. I kept reading it because some of the ideas in the book were interesting like one of the vamps being a famous dead rock star, and vamps being drained of their blood and having it sold like drugs that was interesting. I liked Dead To The World her third novel better.
In the first book of the Sookie series we're introduced to Sookie, a simple country girl who is sweet, innocent, well.. until she meets vampire Bill, tough as nails, and very attractive. She has one little secret, telepathy, that has impacted her whole life...usually for the worse. Sookie's world is a hoot, very exciting, very HOT, and sometimes dangerous. This is a highly recommended series...love it.
This is the first book of the Sookie Stackhouse southern vampire series. Excellent story. Charlaine Harris did a wonderful job! So great in fact, Come fall this is the basis for a new HBO Series called TRUE BLOOD. You will need this book to follow the story line. I recently sold all my Sookie books and am buying them all back.Sookie ia a telepathic waitress and hooks up with a Vampire. I don't want to say much more as I don't want to spoil it for you.
