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
Spoiler
to have a confederate speak to her descendants club. Ya'll know they were fighting to keep slavery a thing, right?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
I read this for free on Libbyapp.com

Both Sookie and Bill are mildly infuriating
I hate Jason 🫶🏻
For a vampire romance from 2001, insanely progressive
