About this listen

Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is having a streak of bad luck. First her co-worker is killed, and no one seems to care. Then she comes face to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it).

The point is: they saved her life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for a favour, she obliges - and soon Sookie's in Dallas, using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She's supposed to interview certain humans involved, but she makes one condition: the vampires must promise to behave and let the humans go unharmed. But that's easier said than done, and all it takes is one delicious blonde and one small mistake for things to turn deadly....

The Sookie Stackhouse stories are delightful Southern Gothic supernatural mysteries, starring Sookie, the telepathic cocktail waitress, and a cast of increasingly colourful characters, including vampires, werewolves, and things that really do go bump in the night.

There are two types of series; one where you can read the books any which way and get the hang of it, and one where the order is important.

The first Sookie Stackhouse book has a nice solid ending, which made me think that order was not important. This one doesn't. OK so the events are all wrapped up by the end of the book, there are so many of them, so quickly, that many questions are raised and its slightly confusing. I'm left with the feeling that some of them will be answered in the next book.

OR MAYBE I've been confused by the True Blood TV series. This book contains elements which were introduced during various TV series in a different order and at different times. Oh and the characters are also slightly different from the TV series with different motivations. Yes I know, silly me, I should've expected that.

This has made it both an exciting AND confusing listen at the same time. Which is fabulous. Quite frankly I was being lazy choosing a book to listen to I thought I already knew (having seen the TV series) but am doing housework so can't have anything on my headphones that requires me to think too much. I realize now that actually it's much more fun to be going "OH HANG ON! WAIT A MINUTE!" than predicting the future accurately.

The narration is great. The are some very raunchy sex scenes handled nicely and the image of Alexander Skarsgård (who plays Erik on TV) dressed in a skin tight lyrca outfit attending an orgy had a smile on my face for the rest of the afternoon ....
