Living Dead in Dallas is an interesting sequel. We have more vampires, we are introduced to Maenards and the horrible things they do and the vampire hating church is introduced.
The maenard’s seem like interesting creatures. In this world they’re incredibly old, powerful and flighty creatures. A maenard attacks Sookie as a warning to Eric, the scratch of a maenard cannot be cured by vampire’s blood so Sookie finds herself in a lot of trouble.
It looks like Sookie and Bill’s relationship is rocky in this book, I found this interesting They fought a lot and the way Bill acted had me really annoyed at him but at the same time I did feel like Sookie handled the situations a little immaturish-ly or perhaps naïvely? I think I’m already on the Eric bandwagon…
Bill is sent to Dallas and Sookie is summoned with him. Eric has ‘loaned’ Sookie out to another area that are in need of her telepathic powers. Sookie agree’s to help out but only on the condition that no human’s get’s hurt. Keeping the vampire’s to this promise is something Sookie is hell bent on so when the vampires ask her to help them find a vampire of theirs that went missing by questioning the last humans that saw him, she triple checks that the human’s will not be killed after ward.
Living Dead in Dallas was a fun read. I expected to like it a lot more that the first book in the series but I found the first book seemed to be more enjoyable and memorable to me. This one was entertaining to read and I did like, just not as much as I liked the first one.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the third in the series!
Living Dead in Dallas is an entertaining Sookie Stackhouse book that keeps you wondering what’s going on and how it’s going to turn out.
