Dead in the Family

It's been a while since I read a Sookie Stackhouse book, but I was ready for something a little lighter. I really enjoyed this one, although I think I've skipped at least one book because I didn't recall all the events she talks about.

If you are familiar with the series, or watch True Blood on HBO (which is based on the books), then you know all about Sookie the mind-reader and her undead, two-natured, and Fae friends in Bon Temps, Louisiana. If you aren't familiar with the series but like fantasy (particularly vampires), then I recommend you start with the first Sookie book, Dead Until Dark. Harris writes very "real" fantasy, and the characters are super-likeable.

Reading the novel inspired me to put the first DVD of True Blood on my NetFlix (I don't have HBO). A friend told me that people who read the books generally don't care for the series, but we shall see.
