  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;Waiting tables, sweeping floors, reading minds and solving mysteries for the undead. It's all in a day's work for Sookie...&lt;/B&gt;

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is on a streak of real bad luck. First, her co-worker gets murdered and no one seems to care. Then Sookie is attacked - and poisoned - late one night by some weird and apparently mythical beast. She only survives because the local vampires roll up and graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it). But in return the blood-suckers need a favor.

Which is why Sookie ends up in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire, on the condition that her undead friends don't do anything, well, vampiric while she's there. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly...</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Charlaine Harris did it again! Being fairly new to this sub genre of fantasy I am really enjoying it. This book is action packed with some more 'species' introduced. The vampires are fairly typical and in this book we learn a lot more about them. This book is probably not quite as funny as the first...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42626360">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another entertaining vampire book.  For some reason (perhaps because they are immortal) vampires greatly interest me.  I picked this one up at the grocery store and so entertained that I plan to get them all.   Not great literature but IMO GREAT entertainment.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[After finishing the first book, I immediately got to reading <em>Living Dead in Dallas</em>. Sadly, this book was somewhat of a disappointment. The beginning was strong, showing signs of a good murder mystery, but it just went down after that.
