Dead until dark - Charlaine Harris

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 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.
