Laura D. (lmdean) reviewed on 3/12/2011

A few friends recommended this series to me after I finished and enjoyed the Twilight Saga, so I pick up this first book of the series to give it a try. While it was not the worst thing I've ever read, it was very unappealing to me. I did not care for any of the characters (especially Sookie and Bill), and the B-horror movie depiction of vampires just left me cold. Perhaps I was expecting too much, being on a post-Twilight high, but I found the sex crude, the action boring, and the entire book from beginning to end just very lacking. Perhaps I am just a bit old-fashioned, but I found most of the characters in the book to be crass and/or common, and that, coupled with the writing style (which seemed to rushed or forced to me just made for an overall disappointing book.
