“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.”
I know what you’re thinking, the True Blood books, like vampire porn… gross. Or at least those were my thoughts about the show when it first came on. But after a few people recommended the books to me saying that they weren’t just full of dirty vampire sex, I decided to give them a whirl. What I liked about Dead Until Dark was that the main character, Sookie wasn’t a thirty something like you find with most adult books nor a teenager like you find with the young adults, and because I myself am at that in between age I found her more relatable. Sookie Stackhouse is a normal young woman; normal pretty looks, normal size and height, normal job, normal friends, and a normal family. She lives in a fairly standard small country town. Everything about her seems ordinary except for the fact that she can hear living people's thoughts and seems to have a knack for attracting the extremely sexy supernatural, which is what lead her to be with vampire Bill Compton, the new vampire in town. Dead Until Dark is a sexy fantasy thriller filled with new love, mystery, murder. My rating for this book:
4.5
