"I love Charlaine Harris, thus when I saw that 'HBO True Blood' was based on one of her Novels, I just had to take a peek ... there are some things I wish I could unsee! It was another 18 months thereafter before I was gifted a copy of this book and I apprehensively began to read ... I love the book, all the books in this Series, I don't know why HBO had to ruin the story-line with all that 'skin' ... I suppose I like Bill Compton fine but I really really like Eric Northman and Sam Merlotte but Pam Ravenscroft absolutely takes the cake! "

Quotes

  • “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, New York Times bestselling author
  • “Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern life.”

    — Entertainment Weekly
  • “Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu…Her mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries, horror stories, and romances.”

    — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
  • “Fans of the TV show True Blood will surely enjoy the Southern Gothic Sookie Stackhouse series, which centers on a telepathic barmaid in Louisiana who finds herself tangled up with local vampires. As you might imagine, this is lighter fare, but super entertaining nonetheless.”

    " I love this series!!! I have read most of the it over the years, but the narration really What a great way to feel like you're right there in the "Fang" 0f things!! This author is excellent in making you believe vampires and other things that go bump in the night could truly be real!! "

    " I had watched True Blood-the book is somewhat different from the tv show. Person doing the reading did an excellent job with the voices and tone-she is very easy to listen to and understand. It is 9 hours so excellent book to listen to while driving or going for a walk. Hope to listen to complete series. "

    " I listened to this as an audio book in essentially 2 sittings. While it reminded me a lot of Twilight- mind reading, vampires, shape shifters, evil vamps vs good vamps, ends at the hospital, etc., Charlaine Harris is clearly a more skilled writer, and her characters have depth and unique voices. Johanna Parker is a delightful narrator. I look forward to reading/listening to many more books in the Stookie Stackhouse series. "

    " I was very entertained by this book, and read it quickly. I like Sookie's character because she seems relatable. I don't understand her on again, off again with Bill; it makes her seem weaker than she could be. Since I have all 8 books on my kindle, I'll move on to the next one. "
