Sookie Stackhouse is a waitress at the bar "At Merlotte" in Bon Temps, a small town lost near New Orleans. One evening, she saves a Bill assault, seductive vampire who settled in the city, earning the hostility of a section of the population. To complicate things a bit, Sookie is telepathic and hears, despite herself, all neighboring thoughts; which makes it pass for a wild first degree. Thereupon several young women were discovered murdered, all of which were recently bitten by a vampire ...
Here's a refreshing series in the tradition Bit-bed! Sookie is priceless, it has the base and the gift of himself into awkward situations. The characters that surround it are of the same ilk, a true delight! Add a good dose of mystery, a pinch of eroticism and humor, and you will have a great story that personally made me hooked from the first pages. (Not to mention the cover, superb!)
It remains for me to discover the TV series and look forward to the following volumes!
