Helpful Score: 2

Dead Until Dark is one of the few books (and beginnings of a series) that I can honestly say I feel very little one way or another about. An enjoyable and fun read overall, I found myself lacking a connection to the main character, Sookie, and generally feeling that she was a lackluster lead despite her psychic abilities and quaint personality. I was, in the long run, more interested in the side characters such as her boss, Sam, and I found myself almost immediately "disliking" her love interest, whom seemed impersonal to the point of my wondering if she wasn't trying to attract him because he was so "different" (as noted by her immediate fascination with him at the beginning).

In the end, I'm happy that I finally got around to reading this book but I certainly wasn't heartbroken about posting it back up to the system and didn't feel that I would ever reread it again without some outside prompting.
