The second book in Charlaine Harris' series featuring Sookie Stackhouse, Living Dead in Dallas, was just as entertaining as the first book in the series. These novels are a fun, lively read and I am hooked on Sookie and her adventures!
In Living Dead in Dallas, the head of the Vampire culture in her area gives her a job to do. He loans her out to a vampire group in Dallas, where her gift can be useful. Sookie's gift is the ability to hear others thoughts. Before she and her vampire boyfriend travel to Dallas to aid the other vampire "nest" in discovering a traitor, one of Sookie's coworkers is murdered. Sookie must travel to Dallas, help the vampires there and then come home and try to figure out who murdered her coworker.
This novel really covers two mysteries under one cover. So far, these mysteries have not been the kind that you can figure out in the first chapter. Their resolution is not a total surprise, but you I didn't know the true culprits either until the end. With this particular novel, because there are two separate mysteries to solve, just when you think the story has wrapped up you realize that you still have a third of the book to read. New "otherworldly" creatures are introduced, and Sookie has her hands full with the head of the local vampire community, too. This was a fast paced, exciting book. As soon as I closed the cover, I reached onto the bookshelf for the third book in the series. I just can't get enough.
Happy Reading!
