Charlaine Harris has written a thoroughly entertaining group of books in the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire series. By the time I finished the first one I was hooked and it seemed perfectly natural to think of vampires, shape shifters, weres, & fairies as just as normal as some of the people I know! This series is addictive. The characters are interesting, amusing, aggravating, irritating...and you'll look forward to each & every installment.. Great escapes!

Only thing that upset me about this purchase is that I expected the books to be free from damage since they were new, but one of them was bent in several places on the front cover. I am really particular about my books so this was a bummer to me.The price was good for the convenience...about the same I would pay in a normal bookstore, but at least here they were in stock! Yay<br>.Charlaine Harris is very entertaining. She is funny, witty, and knows how to tease! I love the way she writes vampires and other "supes". It's refreshing and different, although I still love my old school vamps as well.<br>The ONLY thing I dislike about her writing is that she explains what happened in her previous books so that a reader is caught up on what's going on. It gets kinda old since I already read the previous book(s). Start from book one, darnit and read in sequence so that people like me don't have to have a recap every time.

I have read all the Sookie Stackhouse books & they are ALL great! Each time I finish one I can't wait to pick up the next one. They are an easy read that will have you hooked!! IT is the perfect mix of the supernatural, romance & mystery that is a killer combo! Read it & I promise you will love it!
