Sookie Stackhouse thought her life was going well. She had a boyfriend, Bill, who also happens to be a vampire. Given that Sookie is psychic, having a vampire as a boyfriend is a good thing. Psychics can’t read vampires minds. So for Sookie, it means that she can relax and truly let her guard down, something she can’t doe around human men.
Then one day, Sookie arrives at work to find the dead body of one of the cooks stuffed into the back of a local cops’s car. She wants to find out who killed Lafayette, but before she can delve too deep into that mystery, Eric, the local vampire master sends her and Bill to Dallas to help that group of vampires find one of their own who has gone missing.
This is the second in Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Series. And unlike many series, the second book is stronger than the first. Sookie’s adventures in Dallas open up whole new parts of the supernatural world to her and the readers. Harris has now given herself a great deal of options for sequels. This is good as there are only so many people you can kill in a small town before someone gets suspisious – Jessica Fletcher, I am looking at you.
Good book – will read the third.
