gidget1982 's review for:
Living Dead in Dallas
by Charlaine Harris
It has been a long time since I have written in this blog. I have had many doctor's appointments and places to go, unfortunately. The baby is keeping us very busy! I have read so many books in the past month and a half that it is hard for me to choose which ones I want to write about. However, I thought I would write about two books that are my fun, easy reading for summer, Living Dead in Dallas and Club Dead, by Charlaine Harris. I had forgotten how much I enjoy these!
There is almost nothing of literary value in this particular series of books, which the HBO series True Blood is based on. They are strictly fun, easy reading for fans of the supernatural. This series contains better writing than the series of number mysteries by Janet Evanovich, however, which I consider fairly poorly written. (I like reading those, too, so don't judge me!) With a colorful cast of characters, including an undead Elvis Presley and various evil vampires and shape shifters, these books have many things other than being well-written to recommend them.
In Living Dead in Dallas, number two in the series, the main character, Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress at a bar called Merlotte's and friend to the vampires, is sent to Dallas to investigate the disappearance of a vampire. Her telepathic skills come in handy when she has to search the minds of humans who may have been involved. With lots of exciting twists and turns, and several fairly erotic scenes as well, this book is highly recommended if you are looking for some fun beach reading.
In Club Dead, number three in the series, Sookie is whisked off to Jackson, Mississippi by her boyfriend, Bill's, boss to search for him. Bill has left town for a "project", but never returns. Sookie once again mingles with the undead and the shape shifters at a nightclub called Club Dead, hoping that she can pick up on Bill's whereabouts. Again, a highly entertaining summer read!
