Product Description

Review

'Bridget Jones with fangs ... the best tongue-in-cheek vampire story I have ever read' SFX --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

Small town Louisiana has a big problem - or rather a number of big problems. And now some of them have come knocking on Sookie's door ...Sookie is an unassuming cocktail waitress in an (outwardly) unremarkable town. She's quiet, keeps to herself and doesn't get out much. Attractive as she is, her hidden 'talents' send men running. For some reason her mindreading skills are just a bit threatening ...Then the unreadable Bill appears on the scene. Tall, dark and handsome, Bill seems to be the man of her dreams. Except he's not technically human. Bill is a vampire and a vampire who keeps seriously bad company, some suspected - unsurprisingly - of murder. Things get a bit close to home when a co-worker is murdered and Sookie starts wondering whether she will be next ... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A quirky Laurell Hamilton, but without the porn, 9 Feb 2003
By M. J. Farncombe "m_farncombe" (Guildford UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you liked the early Laurell K Hamilton books, but found her descent into pornography tedious, then try Ms Harris' vampires. Set in a good-honest-folks part of Lousiana (that's white trash to you and me), the protagonist falls in love with a member of the undead, gets laid (tastefully), meets an unexpected rock-n-roll vampire (hilarious) and solves a crime all within the space of a short novel.

The locale and the people are very realistic, the vampires engaging without being cute, and the plot swift enough to keep you interested (although this ain't Guilty Pleasures). If you enjoy this, and I think you will, then try Living Dead in Dallas - not as good, but still refreshingly porn-free.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, 5 Feb 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
You know the saying - never judge a book by its cover? Classic example. The cover looks dull, but the story is anything but. This was one of the most interesting vampire stories I have read, and I could not put it down. The characters are so believable and the story had me guessing to the end. I would really recommend this, especially if you are a fan of Laurell K Hamilton. Very much written in the same vein (no pun intended), humourous, attractive and I cannot wait for the sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you can imagine a "realistic" vampire story, this is it!, 15 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
At first the town seemed so ordinary, as did she. A smiling waitress in a small cafe who, when she sees someone in trouble, feels honour bound to try to help. But things are not as they seem.

Imagine a female main character who, while she does have a special gift (she can read minds), does not possess superhuman strength or unbelievable intelligence or enormous wealth, but a kind heart and a willingness to believe in people. Now imagine she meets a vampire. Not one who turns into a bat, but one who renovates his house and has the odd human weakness of his own. Now imagine them in love. There's bound to be trouble.
A fantastic book - I can't wait for the sequel!
