Praise for Charlaine Harris and her Sookie Stackhouse novels It's the kind of book you look forward to reading before you go to bed, thinking you're only going to read one chapter, and then you end up reading seven. --Alan Ball, executive producer of True Blood Vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of southern life. --Entertainment Weekly Charlaine Harris has vividly imagined telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse and her small-town Louisiana milieu where humans, vampires, shapeshifters, and other sentient critters live...Her mash-up of genres is delightful, taking elements from mysteries, horror stories, and romances. --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The series continues to be inventive and funny with an engaging, smart, and sexy heroine. --The Denver Post Blending action, romance, and comedy, Harris has created a fully functioning world so very close to our own, except, of course, for the vamps and other supernatural creatures. --The Toronto Star
