Living Dead in Dallas

Stayed up late last night watching Monday Night Football and finishing Living Dead in Dallas, Charlaine Harris's 2nd Sookie Stackhouse novel. I was a bit slow in picking up this series, but better late than never, right? I thought i would be done with vampires when I finished the Twilight series, but then I started hearing the 'True Blood' buzz and decided to check it out.

I liked this book a lot better than the first novel, "Dead Until Dark." i know the first novel in the series has to introduce everything, but unless you live under a rock you kind of know that Sookie and Bill are going to be girlfriend/boyfriend and she's going to have really hot vampire sex. The second book did not disappoint. Sookie's lustful imagination in the football stands is actually more intense than when she actually does the deed.

Also the plot is interesting... Sookie is getting more adventurous, flying in a plane, hanging out in Dallas and being hired out for work to a different vampire clan. Sometimes I wonder how she ends up in the situations she does when she can read minds, but she takes her bruises and kicks ass as she goes.

Sookie's growing on me more as a character, particularly since I don't have to look at her front tooth gap the way you do in the show. I'm so glad it's not just me who is bothered by Sookie's front teeth... I was reading this book in the dr's office and my dr's assistant actually approached to see what i thought about the gap. Nice!
