I received this wonderful first book as a gift for my birthday from my wonderful best friend Kayla. As she gave it to me she said "I have a feeling this will begin another obsession." Boy was she right! This being based on how we were both obsessed with the Twilight Series and both read all four books in a matter of weeks. I had heard of this series before from both the internet forums on Goodreads and from my most favorite magazine Entertainment Weekly, where I had read about the show based on the books on HBO also and wanted to read them but I had SO many books on my library queue and wanted to knock some of them out of the way first. When I received this first book I decided to forget them begin the series. I was drawn in and in LOVE within the first chapter! I absolutely adore the main character Sookie and Charlaine Harris is such an awesome writer. I love or love to hate every single character that comes along! I have yet to be bored at any part of the three books I have finnished in the month I have had these books. After finnishing the first book I made my husband go out and rent for me the first season of Trueblood and fell in love with it too! Although they did change several main things I still feel it follows the book well.
The first of the series Dead Until Dark introduces you to Sookie and Bill (or Vampire Bill as the town of Bon Temps, Louisianna refers to him). Sookie is a waitress in a local bar and reads minds. Most of the people in town thinks she's crazy especially after she meets Bill and becomes his girlfriend. In this book Sookie tries to discover who is killing women in town who have been connected to both Vampires and her womanizing brother to try and clear both of them of the murders.
