I like a good vampire story, so after the first season of ‘True Blood’ I read the first Sookie Stackhouse book – Dead Until Dark. It started strong, and nicely different… but halfway through it devolved into a Vampire Harlequin Romance. I like a good sex scene as much as the next middle-aged soccer mom… but the sex scenes in Dead Until Dark took over the novel, at the expense of plot or character development, and became tiresomely gratuitous. Plus? I thought Bill was gross.
I had no interest in reading any further Sookie books, but then I got a Kindle and was browsing for new Kindle books and decided to try Living Dead in Dallas. To my happy surprise – it’s a much better story! It has a few sex scenes… but not so many as to become tedious (in fact they’re pretty hot). It has interesting character development for both Bill (who is still not my favorite) and Sookie… and Eric too. It has a more ‘believable’(you know, in the context of vampire stories) arc in that Sookie, while of course in peril several times, is not the primary target – whose life is in danger every chapter – of a crazy serial killer. And the writing is better.
Bottom Line: Pure fluff, but fun …and more enjoyable than Book One.
2 Side Notes:
1- These are good books for Kindle-reading. The one thing I like less about the Kindle is that is is more tedious to flip back and find something if you’ve forgotten a plot point. These books are so simple… you don’t need to flip back or re-read.
2- While I find ‘Vampire Diaries’ to be a MUCH better TV show than ‘True Blood’, the Vampire Diaries books are utter crap. So if you’re watching TV, go for the brothers Salvatore. But if you’re looking to read a decent vamp tale… check out Sookie.
