Ok.
This novel has taught me to Never.Ever.Ever. judge a book by its cover Ever.Ever. again!
I would see these books all over Borders and Barnes and Nobles and never give them a second glance.
Not because it was sci-fi (which I like). Not because it was Vampire sci-fi (which I like). But because of the super cheesy covers and the super cheesy titles.
Logan, I am thanking you for picking this book up and for recommending it to me.
One of THE best female lead characters I have ever read. Ever. Very reminicient of Odd Thomas, in that she has something, a gift, lets call it, that sets her apart from everyone else. She's shy, she's a waitress, and she can kick a mean ass when she needs to. Enter Bill, a handsome, gentle, knock-your-socks-off vampire who catches her eye. It was love at first...erm...bite.
You've got fang-bangers, synethetic bottled blood, multiple unsolved but eerily similar murders, and a vampire who looks like, but is he, nah, he cant be....
Light and fluffy but not gag-me, it's got just the right amount of everything.
I currently own all the Sookie Novels and now cannot wait to start the next one!

Yay, Lori! I'm so glad that you liked this book, I was a little nervous waiting to hear your reaction. Wasn't Bubba hilarious? Best vampire ever.
