Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress from Louisiana, stumbles across a vampire with amnesia. She must protect this vampire while searching for her missing brother, encountering werewolves, shape shifters, other vampires, and witches along the way.Overall the book was entertaining, with Sookie's sense of humor, romantic (and often dangerous) encounters, and the supernatural.I did find this book to be not as strong as some other titles (Living Dead in Dallas, for example) in the series, and as a fan of the HBO television series, I really miss some of the other character storylines and development -- the books primarily focus on Sookie only and her experiences.At any rate, if you're a fan of paranormal romance with a hint of mystery, or a fan of vampires in general (and the TrueBlood tv show), you may want to check this one out.
