Living Dead In Dallas: A Sookie Stackhouse Vampire Mystery (Sookie Stackhouse, #2)

by Charlaine Harris

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse isn't happy. Her co-worker has been murdered and no one seems to care. If that wasn't enough she's got blood-poisoning and a raging fever. Luckily, some friendly vampires graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). But, seeing as they did save her life, when they come asking for a favour she can hardly refuse. She quickly finds herself using her telepathic skills in the search for a missing vampire, but when they break their good behaviour condition over a tasty blond, things go rapidly and horribly wrong ...

Reviews

[Terri M. LeBlanc]

The author keeps make the mistake of introducing what appears to be a big plot device (in this case the murder of Lafayette) only to abandon it for something else (in this case sending Bill and Sookie to Dallas). This leaves me hanging and pissed off because in the end she has to tie everything up and it seems rushed and pointless.

A pretty good second book, but not quite as good as the first. This one seemed like a lot more action and less about Sookie herself. I definitely enjoyed it, though, and I will be continuing the series, without a doubt!

Not enjoying this series as much as some of her others. Sookie is not having a good time, her co-worker is murdered and no-one seems to care. Also she's been poisoned by another wierd mythical beast and the vampires want her to do some work for them. Her life has got quite complicated and involved.

It's an interesting story and Sookie is an interesting character, somewhat Anita Blake Lite. Her life is getting more complicated and she's becoming a bit pivotal to everything going on. It's not a series I rush out to buy but one that I wouldn't reject.
