Ahhh Sookie!

Sookie is different than everyone. She sees it as a disability but actually she’s telepathic. She tries hard to shut everyone’s thoughts out but it makes her less focused on what others are saying out loud. Some think she’s crazy or others think she’s non too bright. Working as a waitress in a bar called Merlotte’s makes her feel good and brings her some income to help her grandmother. It also makes her life more interesting when a vampire named Bill comes in and orders a drink. Sookie could tell right off that he’s a real live (or dead) vampire. She seems to be taken by him, mainly because she can’t hear his thoughts and that is so peaceful for her. No one else wanted Sookie to be with him, a vampire. Since she was of age and able to do what she wanted, she didn’t care what anyone else thought.

Once some waitresses start getting killed, either because they slept with Sookie’s brother or because they had vampire marks on their body, people started pointing fingers. Sookie and Bill have to worry over the town folk thinking that Bill was involved. She decides to look closer at the bar in the next town called Fantasia and see if anyone knew the girls that have died. The cat was let out of the bag when Bill introduced Sookie to Eric. Eric is like the top dog vampire around and he is not shy about letting Sookie know that he is taken with her.

Journey into the mind of Charlaine Harris and Sookie Stackhouse. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the entire story. This book will keep you waiting for more and loving every minute of it. I am a big fan of True Blood and these books from this series are really great. I also like putting the characters and faces from the HBO series together. I don’t recommend this series for kids since it is sexually explicit. Of course I don’t mind that as long as there’s a story in it and not just sex. This book is it!! Great Read!!
