Summary: Sookie goes on an adventure....
Comment: Book two of the adventures of Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire boyfriend Bill takes her to Dallas, paying back a favor for the regional vampire "boss" Eric. Dallas is missing a vampire and needs Sookie's telepathic abilities to check the humans who might know something. Meanwhile, back at home, there's murder afoot, rumors of orgies, and a mythological beastie loose in the nearby woods, expecting tribute from the local vampires. Dallas gives Sookie a look at big city vampiric life, quite different from her much smaller home town area. Harris balances both locations quite ably, giving the reader a fast fun read. As Sookie's involvement in the vampire world increases, she begins to have misgivings about the whole situation, while her affair with Bill continues to deepen. The threads of the local murder, the beastie, and the orgies combine together nicely, with vampires combining forces with humans unexpectedly. And most importantly, these southern people are still the most interesting parts of this new series. I'd say more, but I don't want to give everything away. Go read Dead Until Dark and then pick this one up.

Summary: The Second Chapter of Sookie, Bill and a cast of quirky folk
Comment: I have eagerly awaited the second book in Ms. Harris' Southern Vampire Series. Dead Until Dark, the first book, was the best book I read last year. I adored it. It was everything Anita Blake SHOULD have been. GREAT characters that you just love. Sookie, the heroine, a telepath who dates a vampire named Bill. Bill, the post civil war vamp who seems to have lots of secrets still.
The characters that you loved in DUD (Dead Until Dark) like Sam, Sookie's boss who is a shapeshifter, Eric, the yummy stud major vamp from this club who lusts after Sookie, all make an appearance in this book too. (Though not as much Sam as you want, I'm sure ;)
The premise:
The book opens with a murder. But that storyline is quickly put on the backburner when Eric summons Sookie to help him out. It seems a vamp family in Dallas is missing one of theirs and they need Sookie's telepathic skills to interrogate possible witnesses.
Thus, Sookie and boyfriend Billy travel to Dallas, where they encounter more interesting characters, from telepaths, to more shapeshifters and of course, more vamps. But the most frightening people in this book are the humans, and that is simply a biological definition, not a distinction. I like how Ms. Harris shows us that even the most ordinary of us have a little demon inside.
After things are resolved in Dallas, Sookie returns to her town, where the murder plot begins to resolve itself. If you love romance, mystery, adventure and humor, then you will LOVE this book. I cannot wait until the next in this series. Living Dead in Dallas is a definite keeper!

Summary: Avid Reader & Reviewer
Comment: Our favorite cocktail waitress is back again for another adventure. Living Dead in Dallas introduces us to the various political goings on in the vampire world. Sookie and the Vampire Bill have been invited to Dallas. The Dallas Vampire's need Sookie's telepathic skills and she is drafted by Eric, the Viking vampire sheriff of Area 5 to help them. Sookie feels obligated to Eric as he has recently saved her from a very nasty creature with a venomous bit. Off to Dallas she and Bill will go.
Of course things are not as they seem. With a very scary group of religious nuts and a suicidal vampire, Sookie is soon overwhelmed with all that is happening. To complicate life even more, back in Bon Temps one of Sookie's co-workers meets a grisly end. Life will never be simple for Sookie and Bill, but Sookie never expected this much action.
Living Dead in Dallas is another fantastic adventure created by Charlaine Harris. From page one we are thrust into Sookie and Bill's world and the action does not slow down much at all. I loved the description of Dallas with its vampire airline and hotel. This is the kind of book you read all day and night because you are unable to put it down.
Charlaine Harris is the other of three more Sookie novels; Dead Until Dark, Club Dead, and Dead to the World, to be published May, 2004. She is also the author of two popular mystery series; the Aurora Tegarden series and the Lily Bard Shakespeare series.
