"Dripping with Vampire Goodness."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If Twilight is a little too tame for you, this is the next step. Having seen the TV series, I seriously recommend reading ‘Dead Until Dark’, which is what Season 1 is based on. It differs in that its a little less raunchy (though still far from PG) and some of that characters are not as explored, but its still an essential read and absolutely addictive.

"Truely Amazing, Grown up verison of Twilight."
4 stars"

I was a bit skeptical in purchasing this book, but after many friends pestering me to “just try it out” and “give it ago” I folded to their demands and picked up ‘Dead Until Dark’ at the local book store. I'm usually not one for the whole vampire scene but I must admit I found myself enjoying it to the point that I had read the whole book in one day! Sookie is absolutely an adoreable strong young woman who definately knows her worth, I am in complete awe with her character. Charlaine Harris has done a superb job with the Sookie Stackhouse books.They're sexy, witty and abosulute delight to read.

Description

Small town Louisiana has a big problem – or rather a number of big problems. And now some of them have come knocking on Sookie's door …Sookie is an unassuming cocktail waitress in an (outwardly) unremarkable town. She's quiet, keeps to herself and doesn't get out much. Attractive as she is, her hidden ‘talents’ send men running. For some reason her mindreading skills are just a bit threatening …Then the unreadable Bill appears on the scene. Tall, dark and handsome, Bill seems to be the man of her dreams. Except he's not technically human. Bill is a vampire and a vampire who keeps seriously bad company, some suspected – unsurprisingly – of murder. Things get a bit close to home when a co-worker is murdered and Sookie starts wondering whether she will be next …

…And now Sookie's come to the small screen in TRUE BLOOD, ‘the fall's weirdest and most compelling show’ (ROLLING STONE), created by Alan Ball (SIX FEET UNDER) and starring Anna Paquin as the irrepressible heroine.

‘An author of rare talents.’ – Publishers Weekly

‘Bridget Jones with fangs … the best tongue-in-cheek vampire story I have ever read’ SFX
