Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

I agree with some of the previous reviewers ~ I don't think this one was nearly as good as the first, but it's still pretty darn good. It had me staying up later than I needed to just so I could read a little bit more. And when I was finished, I couldn't download #3 fast enough. I'm a big fan of the series, and if you've read the first book, you should definitely read this one.

This book is just as good as the first one! And since I don't have HBO (True Blood series) the characters were all new to me. I'm hoping Santa will bring me more books in the series, I've been a very good girl this year!!

We hit the ground running in the second Sookie Stackhouse novel, which builds well on the first one. As a reader, I am a chicken (couldn't get through the second Lee Child novel, for example) and a particularly scary scene in Living Dead in Dallas made me set the novel down for a few days & wonder if I'd ever get back to it. I did, & I'm glad I did, but I have to warn fellow chickens that there is quite a body count in this one. The love triangle between Sookie, Bill, and Eric is electric & original. I was really struck by Sookie's temerity and humor. The novel widens its cast of mythical and weird characters. Charlaine Harris's writing is beautifully crafted and she KNOWS how to manage a plot.

Charlaine Harris has become one of my favorite authors. This is a great series with a colorful cast of characters!

This is a cute second installment of the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries. She goes with Bill to Dallas to help out Eric and the vampires since Bill has run for vampire office and is now closer to Eric than ever. Sookie still loves Bill but is attracted to Eric and has quite a variety of supernatural beings to contend with. Who knew? I thought they were all stories and fairy tales!
