Book Reviews of Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 1)
Book Review: "Dead Unitl Dark" is Good Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't familiar with Ms. Harris' Southern Vampire series when I bought "Living Dead in Dallas" at a train station bookstore a couple of years ago. What a fun surprise! I picked up "Dead Until Dark" last week and really enjoyed it. It was a quick read and a good story. The heroine, Sookie Stackhouse, is very well written. She's a cocktail waitress plagued with a special "disability". She can read minds. This gift drives her crazy. She can't go to college, work or even date without putting up walls in her head so she can't hear what everyone around her is thinking. Then she meets Bill. He's polite, handsome, has his own house and Sookie can't read his mind. He's perfect! But Bill's a vampire, which complicates matters slightly. Bill is a "mainstream" vampire, meaning he lives openly with humans, but that doesn't make dating him any easier. Sookie finds herself targeted by a psycho who's killing vampire groupies. Sookie's no groupie, but she's frightened and concerned because the people she cares about are also coming under attack. Bill and even Sookie's brother are under suspicion for the murders. During the course of the story, Sookie realizes that she can continue to feel like a freak because of her "disability" or she can use it to help find the killer. It doesn't work out quite like she planned, but in the end she's a little less naive about life and love.
