Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Shes quiet, keeps to herself, and doesnt get out much - not because shes not pretty, shes a very cute bubbly blonde, or not interested in a social life - she really is ... but Sookies got a bit of a disability. She can read minds. And that doesnt make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: hes tall, hes dark and hes handsome - and Sookie cant hear a word hes thinking. Hes exactly the type of guy shes been waiting all her life for. But Bill has a disability of his own: hes fussy about his food, he doesnt like suntans and hes never around during the day ... Yep, Bills a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind. And then one of Sookies colleagues at the bar is killed, and its beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim ... This book is one of the most entertaining books Ive ever read. It has comedy, suspense, romance and fantasy! What more could you possibly want? Clearly the author has a very twisted sense of humour which I loved! There was one incident that had me laughing so hard I nearly fell of my chair! Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?A vampire series thats not just good, but great. This cute and cozy mystery packs quite a whollop in its short form, with a marvellously different story, genuinely warm characterization, and amusing injections. Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?Okay, now this is a vampire romance done right! [Harris] should be claiming some sort of title over the genre of vampire novels, period! Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?ITS FANG-TASTIC! Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?This book is amazing. And there is so much more insight to the characters than in the show. Just little things, quirks. Personalities shine brighter in the book. You really get a sense of who these people are. I couldnt put this book down and couldnt wait to start the next one. Goodreads reviewer, ? ? ? ? ?Th
