Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself and doesn't get out much. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting all her life for.
But Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy about his food, he doesn't like suntans and he's never around during the day... Yep, Bill's a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind.And then one of Sookie's colleagues at the bar is killed and it's beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim...A great mixture of paranormal thriller and laugh-out-loud fun * Fantasy Book Review *
Dead Until Dark is a hilarious adventure from start to finish * SF Site *
