Rating: 5/5
Review: The book is definitely not quite as raunchy as the tv show on HBO that has been based on it (seriously, what is up with HBO and raunchy sex). Sookie Stackhouse is an interesting character in that she can hear other people's thoughts and inner most desires. This is something she's had to live with all of her life, and it gets pretty overwhelming at times. In walks Bill the vampire, and her life is changed forever. She can't hear his thoughts, and the quiet she has with his presence is amazing to her. Vampire Bill is interesting enough, but I was more intrigued by Sam, Sookie's shapechanging boss. He's been in love with her for some time, but he's never wanted to do anything about it until she falls for a vampire. Sookie can't read his thoughts either, by the way. I see a love triangle forming here. The story is fun, sometimes very dark, and often creepy and mysterious. I will certainly have to continue this series.
Book Description: Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out....Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea.
