"Dead Until Dark: Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in 
Bons Temp, Louisiana. You can tell she doesn’t get out much, 
and it’s not because she isn’t pretty. She is. It’s just that, 
well, Sookie has this “disability:” she can read minds. And 
that doesn’t make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill. 
He’s tall, dark, handsome—and Sookie can’t hear a word he’s 
thinking. Just the guy she’s been waiting for all her life. 
But Bill has a disability of his own: he’s a vampire with a 
seriously creepy crowd of friends. So when one of her 
coworkers is killed, Sookie fears she’s next….


Living Dead in Dallas: Sookie is on a streak of bad luck. 
First, she finds a body in the backseat of her car. Then 
she comes face-to-face with a beastly creature that gives 
her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, 
who graciously suck the poison from her veins—like they 
didn’t enjoy it! Point is, they saved her life. So when 
one of them asks for a favor, she complies…and soon Sookie 
finds herself in Dallas, using her telepathic abilities 
to search for a missing vampire. There’s just one condition: 
the vamps must behave, and let the humans involved go 
unharmed. Which is easier said than done….


Club Dead: Sookie’s vampire boyfriend, Bill, has been a 
little distant lately. In another state, distant. He’s 
on a secret assignment for the vampire queen of Louisiana, 
and only his sinister and sexy boss Eric knows where to 
find him. Soon, Sookie is off to Jackson, Mississippi, 
to mingle with the über-underworld at Club Dead—a 
dangerous little haunt where werewolves, shapeshifters 
and vampires go to chill out and suck down some type O. 
But when Sookie finally finds Bill—caught in an act of 
serious betrayal—she’s not sure whether to save him…or
 sharpen some stakes."



I sat down and read this series in two weeks. Could not 
wait to get to the next book. I sat up several nights till 
2 or 3 just to read "one more" chapter. Simply one of 
the best vampire series out there.
