| Dead until Dark Plot Summary |
Happy New Year all!! This marks the year that the Sookie Stackhouse series comes to an end via author Charlaine Harris. So I figured I'd start at the beginning so that I can appreciate the series in proper sequence finally, the author swears Sookie will never become a vampire lets see if she sticks to her word.
I love this book series, which means, I have been disappointed in the True Blood series (only in relation to the book I like the show). Anyway not the point, this is book one in the Sookie Stackhouse tales; this was my second time reading the book and I can still say that I really liked it. Down side: I don't remember Sookie being so damsel in distress in the early books; i guess she took time to become more badass. You have to be open minded because sometimes the story borders on a little cheezy with vampires "coming out," telepathy, and Bubba but I think that was what made me wanna keep reading. I will say Bubba is one of my favorite characters in this series, but this may just be my natural bias because of my mid-south heritage, unfortunately he got off to a bad start in this book. Vampire Bill is so old world and traditional with his idea of courting and taking care of your girl; its sweet in a stetford kind of way. Up side: there is no lack of sex or violence in this book so if you are looking for fight scenes and murder sprinkled with a little kinky sex than look no further. Its sign of a good story when you are quickly invested in the future of the characters by page 100 and are bummed when something happens. Good writing overall I look forward to continuing the series and see how deep Sookie sinks.
Note: I have not read the most recent Sookie book so I am not sure how it is ending. Also because Sookie ends up in the hospital, mortally wounded, or bruised and beaten more than her share I have decied to be tacky and add a Sookie Stackhous ass Kicking Talley for each book lets see if she really does get more bad ass.
Good for the adult vampire experience
