 Absolutely have to read! November 17, 2008
If you read first book "Dead Until Dark", you'll be delighted to continue the story and read this book. This book is the one you absolutely have to read! I am not a reader, and I am re-reading this book second time right now. I started to watch "True Blood" on HBO, and couldn't wait for next episode for whole week, so I decided that I'll read. I was afraid that that will be difficult for me, because the English is the third language for me, but this book is written easy to read have a lot of action, mystery and love in very realistic form. After I finish reading first book, I started next until I finished all 8 books and now can't wait to the 9-th book, which will be publishing in May 2009. I hope one day that book will be translated to other languages as well.

I have recently become acquainted with Charlene Harris' works. I have enjoyed each and every one and hope she writes many more. The seller provided it as promised and well within the shipment window promised.
Getting Better November 3, 2008
This series just keeps getting better. I enjoyed the first book in the series but was unsure how Ms. Harris was going to keep it going. It starts off with the murder of a secondary character that if you are watching the HBO series, Tru Blood then you will miss. However, if you are just reading the book you probably won't miss the character. Then it switches to Eric needing Sookie to do a favor/or follow an order...whichever way you look at it. He sends her to Dallas. While in Dallas, the fun begins. Yes, Bill gets to go as her bodyguard. I really enjoyed the interaction between the lead characters and even though Sookie's in Dallas most of the book, Sam and Jason are still in it. I enjoyed the character developement of Sookie, Bill and Eric. Ms. Harris is really letting the reader get attached to them. You actually feel for them when things go wrong. I don't like how short these books are though. This one is a little over 220 pages. It would be better to buy in an omnibus book that would have the first three books in it. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, fun, entertaining vampire book.

A great read. Charlaine Harris has done it again. I just love these southern vampire mysteries.
Way better than the first book... October 31, 2008
I thought the storyline in this book was way more interesting than the one in the first book, but then again, I read the first after watching the series, so I think it was hard to view the book alone without comparing it to the TV series (which rocks). I read this book in one night, and when I finished, I had a hard time falling asleep because I couldn't stop mulling it over- that's usually a good indicator for me that I read a good story! The one thing that continues to bug me is that the author constantly describes Sookie's clothing, which seems best described as "80's at its worst"- I hate to admit it, but when she's describing Sookie's clothing choices (e.g.- stretch jeans that lace up the side with matching midriff top and the always present bow in the hair)- it totally pulls me out of the story for a minute, because (and I hate to admit this), my thoughts are "seriously? A vampire finds this attractive? Really?" OK- enough on that. I do have to say, I was a huge "Team Bill" advocate, primarily based on the TV series, but after reading this, I've switched to Team Eric. I couldn't understand why everyone who had read the books on the fan boards for the TV series kept talking Eric up, but now, after finishing Book 2, I TOTALLY get it. I am looking forward to Book 3 more for him than Bill, sadly...
