Club Dead by Charlaine Harris

Third book in the Sookie Stackhouse (Trueblood) series.

Bill tells Sookie he has been working on a secret project for the queen of Louisiana, but he won't tell her what. When Bill goes missing it's obvious it has to do with his secret project. Sookie finds herself going to Jackson to Club Dead to see if anyone knows where Bill is. When she finally finds out she also finds out that he cheated on her and Sookie is torn what to do. She will of course save him, but will she take him back?

I liked this story because it wasn't so much Sookie and Bill. Bill disappears at the beginning of the book and doesn't come back until the end. The story develops on Eric's character more and we meet a new group of characters from the Jackson area.

Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris

The second book in the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

Sookie Stackhouse continues her adventures with her vampire boyfriend, Bill. An older vampire begins to use Sookie for her telepathy gift and Sookie is kidnapped by a group who helps and encourages vampires to commit suicide.

Apologies on my not-so-exciting summaries. Each book picks up where the last one left off and without reading the previous ones you'd be totally lost. Hence my vagueness.


Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

So I've started to read the Sookie Stackhouse novels or as many of you may now know it, the TrueBlood series. I assure you, the books are less raunchy than the HBO show.

Sookie Stackhouse is a waitress, but unlike other waitresses, she is telepathic. Once she meets Bill the vampire and starts dating him, she learns to embrace her telepathy and her life becomes more supernatural and dangerous as her world mixes with the vampire world.

It started out slow, but it really picked up towards the end. Overall, a good start to the series.
