Helpful Score: 3
I have to disagree with Daedelys' comments, I have found the Southern Vampire Series a wonderful treat. I came to these books after slogging through the first 3 books in the Twilight series...ugh. Sookie's stories have been a funny, clever and suspenseful turn on the vampire genre. I can see how Laurel Hamilton readers would find them less appealing but for those of us who want some fun diversions, this series is it.
Sookie is a sassy southern gal who has had bad luck with relationships. She has an unusual "talent" that makes it hard to be around normal people. Bill the vampire is obviously not normal so she is attracted to him because of his difference. Vamps aren't nice people and they do have a nasty habit of drinking blood, so I don't see the complaint Daedelys brings up. Just because the True Blood is on the market doesn't mean the Vampires have sworn off humans entirely. The tension in the relationship between Sookie and Bill makes it less predictable (especially when Eric enters the picture)and moves the plot along nicely.
I suggest you snuggle up with this one and enjoy a good read :)
