Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

5.0

Just when I thought the whole sexy vampire thing was completely played out, I got hooked on "True Blood" and just had to read the books the series was based on! Season 1 follows this book pretty closely, with only a few minor changes, which I am sure I would've found really annoying if I had read the book first. I expected the book to be better than the show--books always are!--and I was not disappointed, and I was delighted to discover that it was even sexier. The juxtaposition of a tiny, sleepy backwoods Louisiana town with dark creatures of the fantasy realm, mystery, adventure, and romance is the perfect escape.
