Honestly I almost refused to read this series because the name Sookie is annoying. I know that’s petty but hey don’t judge me ;o) I am glad I picked this book up. The story is interesting and I definitely plan to continue reading the rest of the series. I can see why HBO would like to make a series out of these books and I plan on watching it too.
Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com) : For years, Charlaine Harris has delighted fans with her mystery series featuring small-town waitress-turned-paranormal sleuth Sookie Stackhouse.
My summary: Sookie can read minds and has a hard time getting a date. She meets a vampire named Bill and they hit it off. Then people in her small town start dying and she plays detective.

What I liked: That the story was short and entertaining. It was not boring and the plot flowed really nicely. I think Charlaine was very smart to keep this book under 300 pages because I think had it kept going on that I would have lost interest. I like that Sookie can read minds. Bill is the strong quiet types, you gotta love that.
What I did not like: The name *cringe* Sookie. Hideous. That Sookie is 26 (my age) and seems really immature. I hope that changes in the future books. She cries quite a bit in this book but thankfully not as much in the second book in the series, Living Dead in Dallas. Sometimes the southern phrases get on my nerves. I am not discriminating, I am from the South too. I also thought the cover is misleading. The girl is not the vampire but her guy Bill. So why did they do that?
Overall I would give it a 3/5.
