The second novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris’s “addictively entertaining”(Locus) Sookie Stackhouse series—the inspiration for the HBO® original series True Blood.
Even though Sookie has her own vampire to look out for her—her red-hot, cold-blooded boyfriend, Bill Compton—she has to admit that the bloodsuckers did save her life. So when one of the local Undead asks the cocktail waitress for a favor, she feels like she owes them.
Soon, Sookie’s in Dallas using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She’s supposed to interview certain humans involved. There’s just one condition: The vampires must promise to behave—and let the humans go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly...
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.
