Dead Until Dark

Description

Sink your teeth into the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series–the books that gave life to the Dead and inspired the HBO(R) original series True Blood.

Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Bon Temps, Louisiana. She’s quiet, doesn’t get out much, and tends to mind her own business–except when it comes to her “disability.” Sookie can read minds. And that doesn’t make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill Compton. He’s tall, dark, handsome–and Sookie can’t hear a word he’s thinking. He’s exactly the type of guy she’s been waiting for all her life…

But Bill has a disability of his own: he’s a vampire with a bad reputation. And when a string of murders hits Bon Temps–along with a gang of truly nasty bloodsuckers looking for Bill–Sookie starts to wonder if having a vampire for a boyfriend is such a bright idea.
