Product Description
Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. Until the vampire of her dreams walks into her life-and one of her coworkers checks out....
Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea.
A fun, fast, funny, and wonderfully intriguing blend of vampire and mystery that's hard to put down, and should not be missed. (Susan Sizemore)
Praise for Charlaine Harris:

good when you're in the mood

Though I enjoyed the book it is not the best of either vampire or mystery novels. The characters can be a little one dementional and dumb (no one would leave their child for the night with someone that is known to be being stalked by a murderer). Despite this, it is a good book when you want something light, fun, and different.

I honestly believe that Stephanie Meyer read Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark, and decided to rip her off and make the Twilight Series. I must say, I liked Dead Until Dark. This was a great little mystery. It took very little time to read, once I started it, I couldn't think about anything else but to continue reading it until I was done. Sookie Stackhouse is a very funny main character, although a bit unbelievable. This is a great opener to, hopefully, a great series. I can't wait to learn more about Ms. Sookie. And about my Twilight comment? I hate Twilight, I think it is way overblown as something new and exciting. It isn't. Obviously, Ms. Harris did it better... and she did it before Stephanie Meyer.
