Sex scenes were a bit rapey sometimes, but the writing is quite addictive and I want to know more about the world

A decent cozy read. Sookie was a little frustrating sometimes, she was just soooo naïve and clueless. I felt like I had no idea why she was making the decisions she was making. Her characterization was strong and consistent, but damn it got annoying to be inside her head. Also, I really hate Bill. It felt like he was taking advantage of how inexperienced Sookie was, and the sex scenes made me uncomfortable. They always seemed at least a little coerced, and I did not like how violently he insisted on drinking her blood. Not to mention that half of the sex scenes immediately followed someone's murder while Sookie was upset, or when Bill should have been upset. The romance was honestly the least interesting part.
