When a vampire asks cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse for a favor, she complies. And soon she's in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She agrees to interview the humans involved as long as the bloodsuckers promise to let them go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly.

Another great Sookie Stackhouse book. Another example of why the books and True Blood are separate entities.
I really enjoyed this book, for pretty much the same reasons as Dead Until Dark. There really isn't much else to add. I like Charlaine Harris' writing style. I like her characters. There's honestly nothing I'd really change. Like I said last time though, having seen the show and already being familiar with the characters and the story, there is a good deal of bias. I can't say for certain that my opinion would be the same, had I gone into this series completely unfamiliar, but to the best of my abilities, I tried to find faults and there were none.
I am starting to see why some fans of the book don't like the show too much, though. For what was changed in Season 1, they really veered off from the book for Season 2. Like...really veered off. To the point that I wonder if they could even continue to follow, the books on the show. But, I'm getting off point. This is about Living Dead in Dallas...not True Blood.
This is definitely a book to read, assuming you enjoyed Dead Until Dark (which you should have), but do not go into it expecting it to be the book version of True Blood.
