Well the main reason I decided to read Dead Until Dark was because of the True Blood series on HBO, plus it was recommended to me by people from here and a few sites I belong to. I think I put off reading the book because I thought I wasn't in the mood for any more Vampires. This book is nothing like what I expected, which is a good thing. I found myself laughing out loud or having to stop myself from laughing to loud since I was reading it at work.
Dead Until Dark is the first book in a series by Charlaine Harris. I do not know exactly how many books there are going to be. I believe there are about 7 books in the series right now. The main character of the book is Sookie Stackhouse who is a small time cocktail waitress in a small town in Louisiana. She has a 'disability' that does frighten some people of Bon Temp. Sookis is able to read minds. Her disability makes it hard for her to have a relationship with men until she meets Bill one night at the bar that she works. Bill is a vampire and she is able to drop her guard when she is around him which she loves because of all the silence.
One of Sookie's co-workers is murdered and people think it is Sookie's vampire doing all the killing because the first girl that is murdered has old bite marks. Sookie fears she is the next one on the murderers list.
I found myself not wanting to stop reading the book. I would finish a chapter and find myself starting the next one right away. I enjoyed reading this book and seeing the vampires portrayed in a different way then what I read in the Twilight books. No sparkly vampires in this book.
5 stars
