I find them very basic reading. I guess it's good if you want a light and fun series of books to read, but there are most definitely other authors that I'd choose over this one. ( ) I rarely think this about a book, but the TV version is better. There is so much MORE going on in True Blood the TV show. They don't kill off Lafayette (not really a spoiler because it happens right in the beginning of the book). They give Jason, Tara, Sam, Callisto, practically every character, more stuff to do. Obviously, an entire season of a TV show has way more space to fill than one mass market paperback, but still. On True Blood they made Godric a much more interesting character (for instance, I'd like to believe that if I lived for a thousand years, I'd be at least a little wiser than a 25-year-old barmaid). For the first time, I can say that my reading of the book was enriched by watching the story onscreen. I'm not sorry I read it, though. They're pretty fun books and I'll keep reading them. But the show is better. Also, let me take an official stance here: Bill Compton is kind of boring. Another official stance that I've had since the first book and was only strengthened by this one: Sookie has ridiculous fashion sense. Jeans that lace up the sides with a crop top? OMG, I was taking a ride in the LOLicopter. This second volume of the series is rather a mixed bag. Sookie is still in a relationship with vampire Bill, and still involved in the affairs of the wider vampire community, through Eric to whom Bill owes allegiance. This leads to her having to go to Dallas and assist the chief vampire there to investigate the disappearance of one of their members: an activity that puts Sookie into multiple perils given the presence of an anti-vampire cult in the city. She also comes into contact with the shapeshifter community there. That part of the story was interesting, although the presence of a vampire who has been a lifelong serial abuser and killer of children was disturbing. However, the story is topped and tailed by another, disconnected, subplot which gives the book a rather messy ending, and it is unfortunate that one of the more interesting minor characters is killed off as a result. There are fewer graphic sex scenes thankfully, but one unfortunately is rather a trigger This story was a bit better than book 1, hence the 3-star rating, but considering that I have quite a few of these books in hand, I'm beginning to wish I hadn't bought so many. Luckily quite a few of them were cheap second-hand purchases! I thought this was slightly better than the first although I didn't love the ending. Less predictable on the murder mystery part but I didn't care as much either so that was a wash for me. I still don't get how these books are supposed to be funny. They aren't. There is actually a heavy cloud of darkness to them that at times makes me uncomfortable. And because I'm still in a reading slump I'm sure I'll continue to read the next ones until I find something else. Seriously if you have something else let me know! inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Trots att Sooie Stackhouse vill leva ett stillsamt liv, så tycks det aldrig bli så. Kanske beror det på att hon kan läsa tankar, kanske på att hennes pojkvän är vampyr. I den här boken är det inte mindre än två mysterier som måste lösas. En kollega till Sookie hittas mördad och mordet verkar ha kopplingar till en hemlig och olaglig sexklubb. Dessutom måste Sookie jobba för vampyren Eric, och han lånar ut henne till sina vänner i Dallas eftersom en vampyr där har försvunnit under mystiska omständigheter. Sookie träffar på en mängd konstiga varelser och det gäller att hålla tungan rätt i mun för att veta vem som är vän och vem som är fiende. Vampyrer och mysterier i en härlig mix, kryddat med heta känslor. Detta är bokserien bakom den populära teveserien True Blood, där bland annat Alexander Skarsgård har fått beröm för sin insats som vampyren Eric. Detta är den andra delen om Sookie Stackhouse.
