Dead Until Dark

It’s just that, well, Sookie has this sort of "disability." She can read minds. And that doesn’t make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill. He’s tall, dark, But Bill has a disability of his own: He’s a vampire with a bad reputation. He hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, all suspected Personal note: My wife and I both read this book and we both loved it!

She’s supposed to interview certain humans involved. There’s just one condition: The vampires must promise to Personal note: I think I liked this book even better than the first book in this series.

He’s also scared because whoever took his memory now wants his life. (book description) Personal note: This book was a great addition to the life of Sookie Stackhouse. This series is a wonderful mix of comedy, horror, and even some romance, but not so much that it’s trashy. |
Dead as a Doornail

I really enjoy how we keep getting introduced to new characters and types of supernatural beings. I would have rated this book even higher, except that I’m really ready for Sookie’s love life to resume, instead of having it in constant turmoil. |
Definitely Dead

And In the ensuing battles, Sookie faces danger, Personal note: This book is another excellent additon to the Sookie Stackhouse story. I really love that Charlaine Harris keeps adding more and more depth to Sookie’s world in every book. I wish she’d let Sookie have a little better luck with love, but I can get over that. |

She adds another historical figure to this book and it’s a lot of fun. But that figure is really just a side show for the main event of the book, which was by itself enough to keep me reading. |
