Dead Until Dark is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. The Sookie Stackhouse series is also the inspiration for the HBO show, True Blood. Dead Until Dark was a good introduction and first book in the series, I really enjoyed the journey. 

Sookie Stackhouse is a waitress in a small town in Louisiana and she's always wanted to meet a vampire because in this world vampires have been exposed and humans and vampires have been trying to co habituate together.  Sookie meets her first vampire in Bill, a (confederate) civil war era vampire. Bill is quite taken with Sookie and she is equally taken with him.

I don't like that Sookie's grandma was so excited
Spoilerto have a confederate speak to her descendants club. Ya'll know they were fighting to keep slavery a thing, right?
I think this was one of the only things I really disliked about the novel.  

There's a murder mystery mingled in with some paranormal romance and I really enjoyed this book. It was gory, sexy, mysterious, and entertaining. I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5 because I had a lot of fun with this read. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Stars

3.0

Jag gillade boken och den var väldigt underhållande. Jag kommer 100% fortsätta läsa serien. 

Boken handlar om Sookie som jobbar som servitris på en bar. En dag kommer Bill in i baren men Bill är inte vem som helst han är vampyr. Vampyrer lever nämligen offentligt bland människor. Men fler och fler kvinnor börjar hittas döda och Sookie verkar vara på mördaren radar. 

En underhållande romans mellan en människa och en vampyr. Kan definitivt rekommendera serien.

Light/brainless but very problematic read. Would give it 1 star if I haven’t watched the show.
