    <![CDATA[<strong>Waiting tables, sweeping floors, reading minds and solving mysteries for the undead. It's all in a day's work for Sookie...</strong><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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...]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I was sucked in (haha) to the HBO series and curious about the original story the show was based on, so I picked this book up, not knowing that it was book 2 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Harris does a smooth job in explaining the back story if you didn't read book 1 (or see True Blood season 1). There's a southern charm to the writing, and the plot twists grow ever more intriguing.]]></body>
