Entertaining

This review is from: Dead Until Dark (Hardcover)

5 months ago

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris is the first of the Sookie Stackhouse novels and is written in first person through the eyes of Sookie. I wish I had read it before completing season one of True Blood because I knew the results of many of the events. There are some parts, however, that were not shown on True Blood. The novel became much more interesting after getting through a hundred pages. Sookie's life changes when she encounters a vampire in Bon Temps, Louisiana at her workplace… + read more

Good Read

3 months ago

This series is an interesting spin on the supernatural. Vampires are almost like rock stars to some who vie for their 'attention'. Their presence is new to the town of Bon Temps and aren't fully accepted by the townspeople. A mystery ensues after a string of murders. A romanctic relationship developes between a vampire and Sookie, the heroine of the story. While I was intriged by the unique talents of Sookie, I wasn't completely drawn in by her character. I found some of her… + read more

Light and Refreshing

This review is from: Dead Until Dark (Hardcover)

I found this book very refreshing. It is one of those books you love reading on a rainy afternoon just a very light and relaxed read. The characters lack depth and the plot takes a little while to get you hooked but once you are you can't help but love the book. I will definately have to read the rest of the series.

WoW.

I absolutely adored this book. It was a very nice read, with some murder, mystery and romance (of course - the supernatural kind) and it was well-written. This book got me hooked from page one and was a definite page-turner!

Mixed feelings....

Having been a fan of the show prior to reading the book, it took me a while to get into it. The show has better character development and additional story lines. And the sex scenes really aren't my thing, in the book. I'm not into romance novels and would rather read about vampires and other monsters. But I'll read the next in the series..... I did buy the box set afterall.

A great Read!

4 months ago

I decided to read this book because it seemed to be very popular, though I have never watched the tv show. I thought it was a great read, I loved the premise that the vampires live among the people and everyone knows about it. The characters are all very interesting and well written. I like that they are all a little different so I was never in a position where I confused them. Overall, a great read that I definitely recommend.

Better than I thought

5 months ago

Okay, I thought this was going to be a chick-lit story, but you know, as I read it, I really liked it. The characters were "real" and I grew to like and hate them. It is a well written story and I will be reading the next book in this series.

I found this book to bring authentic characters to the reader in its supernatural setting. Worth the read!
