Dead Until Dark: Sookie Stackhouse Novel #1 (Southern Vampire Series) by Charlaine Harris
Dead Until Dark: Sookie Stackhouse Novel #1 (Southern Vampire Series)

Vampire Chronicles #01: Interview with the Vampire

I truly love this book - the rich, dark atmosphere; the full and troubled characters. It's the ultimate vampire story, and I must read it every year around Halloween.

Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs
Blood Bound

livresque, February 25, 2009

Love this series! I couldn't put this one down. A strong heroine in the vein of Sookie Stackhouse and early Anita Blake.
