Dead In Dixie


This is the book that the new HBO series True Blood is based on. Actually this is three books in one, Dead in Dixie, Living Dead in Dallas and Club Dead. There are at least four more that go with this series. Vampires have "come out of the closet" so to speak and are living among normal people as the Chinese have invented a synthetic blood for them to drink. Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress with her own sort of disability, she can read minds. She meets Bill, tall dark and handsome, and the best part? She can't hear a word he is thinking. But Bill is a vampire with a seriously creepy crowd of friends, and when one of her co-workers is killed, Sookie fears she is next. This book was excellent and I will be getting the ones that were written after.
