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

livresque, February 26, 2009

For the longest time I was reluctant to read this series. Why? A stupid reason, really: the heroine's name. I thought Sookie Stackhouse was a really silly name. Well, I'm glad I overcame my moniker snobbery, because this is an incredible series. I love Sookie and her world, the fictional yet fully-realized Bon Temps; I love how Harris has tied in the paranormal with the plain world we know.

I enjoyed this spin-off of Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, first introduced in a short story anthology. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

The ultimate quest fantasy story - a must-read classic. Tolkien built an amazing world and fantastic yet believable characters.

Vampire Chronicles #01: Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Vampire Chronicles #01: Interview with the Vampire

livresque, February 26, 2009

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.
