susanbevans 's review for:
Living Dead in Dallas
by Charlaine Harris
Louisiana waitress and telepath Sookie Stackhouse is no stranger to the wonderfully weird world of vampires and shapeshifters. When a group of vampires from Texas request that Sookie use her special ability to locate a missing comrade, she and Bill travel to Dallas to investigate.
If you'll recall from my review of book one, Dead and Loving It, part of the appeal of the Sookie series is the setting. Small town Louisiana was drawn so perfectly in book one that naturally, Living Dead in Dallas is put to a slight disadvantage by moving the setting across state lines. Now, I'm a Texas girl - "born and bred," so to speak - but I did notice a lack of the Southern charm that I loved so much in Dead and Loving It.
Despite the change in setting (to the detriment of the of the story, in my honest opinion,) I really did enjoy reading Living Dead in Dallas. Sookie is my kind of girl - delightfully kooky, and "self-educated by genre fiction." Following her story is a true pleasure. It is incredibly easy to become lost in Sookie's world. I can't wait to see where Charlaine Harris will lead us next.
