The fun, sexy romp of a paranormal romance series which inspired
HBO's True Blood. Enter Bontemps, where nothing and no one are as
they seem . . . Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a
streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems
to care. Then she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature which
gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who
graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy
it). The point is: they saved her life. So when one of the
bloodsuckers asks for a favour, she obliges - and soon Sookie's in
Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing
vampire. She's supposed to interview certain humans involved, but
she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave, and
let the humans go unharmed. But that's easier said than done, and
all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for
things to turn deadly ... The Sookie Stackhouse books are
delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie,
the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly
colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves and things
that really do go bump in the night. Readers love Living Dead in
Dallas: 'Another wonderful Sookie Stackhouse outing, fast-paced and
never flagging . . . Mystery, excitement, a bit of violence, some
steamy make-up sex and new additions to the eccentric and eclectic
cast' Goodreads reviewer, 'I managed to actually bloody myself (!)
by biting the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing out loud . .
. This was much funnier than the first one' Goodreads reviewer,
'The Southern Vampire series mixes Louisiana easy southern manners
with humour and supernatural creatures of all sorts. I like the
vibe of the series' Goodreads reviewer, 'Another super entertaining
read; combining fantasy, action, romance and mystery that you'll
find difficult to put down' Goodreads reviewer, 'A fast-paced,
suspenseful, action-packed plot sending Sookie to Dallas and
smack-dab in the middle of (another) vampire underworld' Goodreads
reviewer,
