I have to say I'm really enjoying the Sookie Stackhouse series. This book was very easy to get into since it was so fast paced and we already knew the characters thanks to "Dead until Dark", so there was not much time wasted on re-introducing them. :0)

Sookie has to travel out to Dallas to help a nest of Vampires there find one of their missing brothers. Eric has loaned her and her talent out to them, for some compensation of course. With Bill at her side acting as escort/body guard, sookie is le ...more

I can't decide what I think of this series. I know a lot of people that say this is their number one guilty pleasure which is why I gave the second book a chance. The writing is truly horrendous but the quirky take on vampires being "mainstreamed" is just interesting enough to keep me reading. ...more

The second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Sookie and Bill travel to Dallas to help the vampire coven there find a memebr who has disappeared. Sookie also investigates the murder of one of the bars employees. So far these books have sucked me in and I'm eager to read more of the series. ...more

Loved it, loved it, loved it!
In real life I'd probably find Sookie annoying. However, being inside her head is fun and she's believable. Anyone who has ever been an outcast and had to struggle to fit in can identify with her. She's also got a hilarious internal monologue going on as she finds herself in dangerous, unbelievable circumstances and faces them matter-of-factly. Her love scenes with her vampire beau, Bill, are hot but down-to-earth. Even more so are the tense almost-love scenes with E ...more

It's possible that I liked this one even better than the first one.

I read the first book after watching the entire first season of True Blood on HBO so as much as I enjoyed the book, there were really no surprises for me. The second book was full of surprises and great story lines. I'm really impressed with how much new material the author was able to create. I can't wait to see what happens next! ...more

Another good Sookie book. This one is different than the first, but just as good. I was already surprised and interested by page 8.

The ending kind of wrapped up a little fast but it was still good.

This series is okay. It's reminiscent of both the Twilight series (for all the supernatural beings) and the Stephanie Plum series (for the male duos and romantic entanglements). I'm not hooked, but I'd be happy to continue reading them as my "no-brainer" reading.
