Book Review - Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

Charlaine Harris

320 Pages
“When a vampire asks Sookie Stackhouse to use her telepathic skills to find another missing vampire, she agrees under one condition: the bloodsuckers must promise to let the humans go unharmed.”
This is the second installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series and picks up very soon after the last one ended. Sookie & Bill are in love, Lafayette dies, Eric needs Sookie to go to Dallas to use her skills for a vampire clan willing to pay, and all hijinks ensue. Those are the main plot points. Sookie did not annoy me as MUCH as I thought she would, and at least they actually finally showed her weak from some of the beatings she takes. I’m starting to get bored of the she loves me/she loves me not aspects of the Bill/Sookie relationship, but I have to suck it up because there are still 9 more books to go. She has more chemistry with Eric and even Sam for his bit parts in the book.

On to Book 3 and Disc 4 of True Blood Season 1. And Twlight: Eclipse at the movies next week …. Vampires really have taken over my life.
