Wow. I adore the TV show True Blood but somehow, never got around to reading this.
What was I waiting for?!

Devoured it in three days. Housework? Kids? what are those and who cares?! I just could not put this one down.

Dead Until Dark is about Sookie who can read minds. She falls for a vampire. There are a string of murders in her town. That she is determined to solve to clear her brother and her vampire. Alot like the Twilight series but it is different in parts.
