Does Sookie even like Bill? Because he seems pretty gross and she seems barely into him.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...Bill is a dud. I forget how boring his character seems to be, and truly don't see what Sookie sees in him. Sookie is having a streak of bad luck, first, her fellow coworker is murdered and no one seems to care. She then comes face-to-face with a beastly creature who leaves her badly hurt, needing help from vampires who save her life. Since they've done her a favor, Sookie can't help but oblige when the table have turned and they need something from her.
So much happened in this book, Sookie finds herself having to leave Bon temps to use her powers down in Texas where she is looking for a missing vampire. Sookie uncovers a lot more than she expects and finds her own life in danger. Meanwhile back home, questions start to arise when a Maenad strolls into town causing chaos. Having watched the series first, I will say that the plot of the book is jammed packed and doesn't read as well as it does on screen. Overall, I felt like a few storylines could have been cut and re-focused on some of the ones that lacked a bit more.
My thoughts on Sookie are a little muddled, I can't decide if I love or hate her. She has her mind focused on one thing (sleeping with Bill), while that is said, it makes me uncomfortable how close she acts around Eric. She's supposed to be dating Bill, but other than some action in bed, and a few cute moments, you wouldn't be able to tell that these two are romantically involved. I plan on continuing the series as they make fast books to listen to while multitasking!

Jag tyckte att boken var underhållande och jag kommer fortsätta läsa serien. Jag är lite osäker på vart serien kommer ta sig. Fast en sak är säker och det är att Sookie förmodligen kommer lösa fler mord och att det kommer vara drama med Bill och Eric.

Anche la protagonista non aiuta, visto che tende a essere passiva e non fa mai domande interessanti, che potrebbero portare a scoperte interessanti per il lettore. Eric, anche se è uno stronzo, è decisamente il personaggio migliore di questo libro, in quanto è interessante.
Un libro con del potenziale, che la scrittura non ha saputo usare, un libro che è di gran lunga battuto dalla serie tv che ne è stata tratta, che nonostante non sia fedelissima all'originale, è riuscita a migliorarlo notevolmente.
