Most vampire stories tend to fall into the same rut, but surprisingly, this one stands on its own feet. Not falling into the same clichés these funny and unique characters will keep you turning the pages.
Sookie Stackhouse is a naïve goodhearted southern girl minding her own business in Bon Temps, Lousiana when the vampires starting moving in. Being the south I guess that doesnt raise too many eyebrows, but when girls that start dating vampires, affectionately called fang-bangers are murdered, Sookie cant help getting involved.

Then Sookie meets Bill and even she has to question a vampire named Bill, shouldnt they have more exotic names, and life gets even more interesting. See Bills one of the only people that Sookie cant read. She calls it a disability; the ability to read other peoples minds, but how refreshing to actually find someone that isnt an open book to her. OK, Bill might only be a mid-level vampire, but she can work with that.

Sookies innocence really is what makes this book funny, well, that and having Elvis as a bodyguard, but over all, this is a very good vampire series. Good action, good dialogue and not your usual been there done that vampire thing.
