Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana, but she keeps to herself and doesn't date much because of her "disability" to read minds. When she meets Bill, Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's the type of guy she's waited for all of her life, but he has a disability, too — he's a vampire with a bad reputation. When one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next.

This series is absolutely addicting. It's spooky and inventive, with wonderful characters and tons of secrets. Once you pick this up, it's hard to put them down.

I have to warn you, this stuff is like crack cocaine. You will stay up late reading, and then get up early to start again. You will chain smoke this series by setting down a finished book and in the same motion, pick up and start the next book in line. These books are both sensual and scary, and the wackiest Southern Gothic ever. While best read in order, the author has written the series with enough information that a new reader can jump in at any point.
