Summary
And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting all her life for. But Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy about his food, he doesn't like suntans, and he's never around during the day....Yep, Bill's a vampire.
Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind. And then one of Sookie's colleagues at the bar is killed, and it's beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim....

Sookie Stackhouse Series Starter...
Really enjoyed this book and what a great start to the series. Way better than True Blood. As others have said the 'sex' scenes were a bit racy and not for the prudish. Excellent narration by Johanna Parker adds to the experience.

I'm hooked.
I generally don't listen to or even interested in anything vampire related. However, Skokie Stack house series had me hooked from he first sentence.

Fantastic Read!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this audiobook. I watched the TV series, True Blood, which is based on this book series and for anyone who likes True Blood, this is definitely a winner.
What did you like best about this story?
I love these kinds of stories and, to be honest, it has a bit of everything; love, thriller, horror, laughs, mystery... The narrator is really good.
What does Johanna Parker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She really brings the story to life. She puts a lot of emotion into the story and brings out each character in their own individual way. Very easy to follow considering there are quite a few characters.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The mystery and thrill aspects really do have you on the edge of your seat!
Any additional comments?
Great book, very well written and very well narrated. I've already purchased the next in the series.

Great!
Easy to understand and very authentic with the narrator (the excellent Johanna Parker) speaking in a Louisiana accent the whole way through. It's such an entertaining world and the characters are excellent! A truly excellent listen and sets the tone for the gory, violent and sexual adventures to come.

A vampire classic
One of the best modern vampire stories - well told and beautifuly original. The narration is perfect for Harris's protagonist Sookie, with the right accent and a natural expression.
This is the book that provided the core plot of series one of True Blood. It's strong on character and plot. I'm happy to listen to it told again and again.

Quite delightful
Who would have thought murder incest and the munching of pets could be so light hearted. Johanna Parkers drawl is as she might say "just delightful ". Not as racy as the TV series but very enjoyable

Excellent For 1st Time Listener
What did you like most about Dead Until Dark?
I felt like I was inside the mind of Sookie Stackhouse, experiencing every thought and emotion she had. The narrator was excellent, the accent just made this audiobook come alive even more for me. I can't wait to listen to the rest.
Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I've never listened to an audiobook, Johanna Parkers performance was fantastic. She portrayed Sookie excellently, and she also did a really good job with all the other characters in the book. For my first read I'm now wanting to own the rest.
