Seemingly, it's the same with the audiobooks.- Despite being ten hours long, I finished the first book in no time at all.- I don...

A bit up and down as far as exciting plot points. The Dallas trip was very interesting, but the entire church debacle could easily have been avoided. I’m sure there will be more encounters with activists throughout the series. Sookie annoys me with how she acts with Eric, she is way too physical with him considering she’s supposed to be dating Bill! I’m hoping to learn much more about the other types of species like shapeshifters and werewolves as the series continues. I do also wish Tara was mo...

True Blood book 2: Sookie and Bill have a mission, and it's to do with the Vampire nest in Dallas; although they also might be spending some time doing...

And we have to ask, is there a Maenad in Bom Temps? More Southern fried fantasy drama from this little series! 5 out of 12, not reading as well as the TV show at all!

2.5 StarsSookie fucking Stackhouse!! I’ll let you know a little secret, ladies: No matter how great with a capital "G" your boobs are, you will never attract every man and woman who ever meets you UNLESS you are Sookie fucking Stackhouse!! If you are Sookie fucking Stackhouse no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be able to resist you... *eyeroll*Easily my least favourite part of this story is the main character, I just cannot relate to Sookie at all. She bothers me. And whilst an element of that is s...

Notes: A fun first two-thirds, it's spoiled by a gratuitously salacious subplot, ending the book a deflated, disorganized mess.

It was extremely hard thinking of Eric Northman, 6'4", blonde with blue eyes, need I mention a super gorgeous hunk, a vampire, and Sheriff of Louisiana Area 5, an entrepreneur (owner of bar Fangtasia) in a PINK LYCRA especially when I pictured him as Alexander Skarsgård who looks like this But imagining the bulge his would form, Eric Northman in a pink lycra doesn't seem like a bad idea. I think I'm pro pink lycras. Especially if someone this hot would wear them. I even think I should advocate t...

I almost forgot what an uptight bore Bill is. But I surely remember the glory that is Eric Northman...

Despite having a solid story that ends with one huge massacre, a theme that explores radical groups and the evil of humanity (not of the monsters) there are still a hundred pages left to talk about the new types of myths that are roaming the earth... Sookie's world is suddenly getting stuffy, but with each new development, the reader understands that the books will take liberties that will truly surprise. The adventures are becoming less structured... episodic. I am pretty excited to continue re...

Vampire Bill is a dud.

But otherwise I really enjoyed this book, it was better than the first. I was dying laughing during most of the orgy scene...who knew Eric was so funny?

Perfect vacation reading. Added bonus, I read this on the plane last night from Minneapolis to the Dallas/Fort Worth airport. Very appropriate. :)

Another wonderful Sookie Stackhouse outing, fast-paced and never flagging. This one sees Sookie and Bill sent by Eric to Dallas because he's "rented" her out to the nest leader there, Stan, so she can use her telepathic gift to find out what happened to a missing vampire. This leads to the Fellowship, a truly scary psuedo-Christian cult that's very anti-vampire. There's also a scary Maenad hanging around the woods at home, demanding tribute, and poor Lafayette, the flamboyantly gay cook from the...
