In this 2nd book in the series the Dallas vamps have requested to hire Sookie for her telepathy gift to find their missing nest brother, Farrell. Through her gift Sookie soon has some clues as to whom has captured Farrell and as to his whereabouts. "The Fellowship of the Sun" is a fanatic religion that are anti-vamps. They capture vamps and leave them to burn at dawn.
Sookie and the Dallas vamps create a plan where Sookie and another human employed by them will pose as a couple to check the place out and find out where exactly Farrell is being held captive. However, there's a traitor amongst their midst and upon arriving at the "Fellowship of the Sun" they were captured.
The vamps must now act fast, as they have a time limit (dawn) and they now must save not only Farrell but Sookie as well.
This is a very fast-paced read and was enjoyable.

Sookie Stackhouse is back with three mysteries to solve! Lafayette, Merlotte's African-American cook has been found murdered in local policeman's car, Andy Bellefleur. Last seen speaking about a sex club Sookie must find this exclusive and invite only club, be invited and trusted so that she can bring justice to the killer and free Andy from wrongful conviction.
Sookie has been "loaned" by Eric to a Dallas vampire, Stan. Stan's brother, Farrell has been missing and he wants Sookie to find him. Farrell is found in custody of an anti-vampire organization and Sookie is way over her head as she finds herself just as trapped as Farrell, can she free herself and Farrell by sunrise, when he's scheduled to be burned?
And if that doesn't seem enough to you, Sookie has a near death encounter with a maenad, another supernatural being who is known to worship the Greek God of wine. It seems that Sookie Stackhouse's life will never be the same again.
This review is difficult for me to write as I cannot seem to decide how much I enjoy this series. I've read the plot summary for the entire series and like what I see and excited to read till the end but as I read each book it doesn't feel like it's fully satisfying. Each book has it's pros and cons.
Dead Until Dark was better in terms of mystery where you may not realize immediately who the killer is whereas in Living Dead in Dallas there is no mystery to solve, everything is shown to the reader in due time without clues ahead of time. However, Living Dead in Dallas immediately went into action and suspenseful scenes, so I will only say that I will persevere with the rest of the series and I believe that it will only get better. So till then...

Book #39 read in 2013
I liked this book a lot better than the first in the series. The action started right away and I liked the new characters.

I've read this book sooo many years ago and I enjoyed it then (even gave it 4 starts since I was just starting to rate books)...now, I just hate it...We follow 2 main plotlines and we start with one, we go into the next without any hint about the first...and then go back to the first plot...and, by that time, I completly forgot about it and also stopped caring...
The relationship Sookie has with Bill is such a joke (felt like she settled with the first guy avilable considering her "condition"...also Bill had literally the personality of a BRICK. Eric starts popping up and it's only book 2...and Sookie is still dumb AF but not as pronounced as it was in book 1.
I don't really know why I keep re-reading this series...I guess I just like how much I hate it!
