This was such a dry book. I hated how Sookie and Bill practically went from just knowing each other to dating and sleeping together. Towards the end it got much better, I hope the next book picks up a bit.

what's a girl to do?
I decided these books would be my fun summer reading and then I would get the HBO True Blood series and watch that. After the first couple pages, I almost stopped reading the book because the writing was so lame, but it does get better and the fun stories and characters eventually drew me in. I'm a fan of authentic, author-created worlds that you can get lost in, and I'm enjoying spending the summer in Bon Temps, Louisiana.
TOTALLY likable! Just what I was looking for. I love southern-style chick lit and this doesn't disappoint. The vampire/supernatural elements are fun window dressing. Sookie's a good heroine too - unlike dear Bella Swan, despite being flanked by a vampire and a shapeshifter, Sookie's able to take care of herself, and enjoy sex/bloodletting with her vamp boyfriend.
