When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, she doesn't just drive on by. Turns out the poor thing hasn't a clue who he is, but Sookie does. It's Eric the vampire--but now he's a kinder, gentler Eric. And a scared Eric, because whoever took his memory now wants his life. 
 I LOVE Eric, and not just because every time I think of him, I see Alexander Skarsgard in my mind's eye. Eric without his memory is kinder, sweeter and not everything he says is a sexual innuendo. He truly cares for Sookie and wants to be a mate for her. I find that so sweet that I wish he could have remained amnesiac just so he and Sookie can have a decent life together. 
 Dead to the World introduces witches to the mix and I have to wonder, what is it about Bon Temps that attracts everything supernatural? The Weres come back as well and a substantial subplot involving Jason, Sookie's brother. Things are starting to get a little exciting, and I'm definitely interested in finding out what happens next. I do hope, however, that Sookie will finally make a decision on whether she wants to be with Bill or not. 0.o
