Sink your teeth into the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series—the books that gave life to the Dead and inspired the HBO® original series True Blood.
Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's quiet, doesn't get out much, and tends to mind her own business—except when it comes to her “disability.” Sookie can read minds. And that doesn’t make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill Compton. He’s tall, dark, handsome—and Sookie can’t hear a word he’s thinking. He’s exactly the type of guy she’s been waiting for all her life...
But Bill has a disability of his own: he’s a vampire with a bad reputation. And when a string of murders hits Bon Temps—along with a gang of truly nasty bloodsuckers looking for Bill—Sookie starts to wonder if having a vampire for a boyfriend is such a bright idea.
I’ve enjoyed the TV show so I thought I should try the book, problem was the book was too similar to Season One. Also the book misses the darkness and gothic themes that I love in the show, replacing it with full descriptions of everything Sookie was wearing. Let’s face it, I would never of read this book if it wasn’t for the TV show, but now I’ve seen the show I have no desire to read any more of the book. The horror themes were lacking and I was looking forward to that the most.
