Charlaine Harris sure packs a lot of genres into her sexy little novels. I guess the simple category would be vampire book but there is much more going on than that. The heroine, Sookie Stackhouse, is a waitress at a small town bar whose life is greatly complicated by her ability to read minds. There is an inordinate amount of crime in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie does a lot of crying and a lot of screaming. But she certainly has good reason to be upset. Seems like someone is always trying to kidnap her or rape her or murder her (or all three). Good thing she has a handsome protector in Vampire Bill. Living Dead in Dallas is book two of the Sookie Sackhouse series and I fully expect to binge-read my way through these marvelously entertaining books.
