The Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris is "fangtastic" (sorry, I couldn't help myself).
I first started the series after the first season of True Blood, which is the HBO tv series based on the books. I was fascinated by the tv show and I just had to have more of Sookie and Bill.
Season 2 of True Blood starts Sunday June 14, 2009.
I am anticipating the show because the books were so amazing and full of action and death and guts and sex and love and twisted drama. I really can't wait to see how the story of Bill's betrayal will be portrayed into the tv show because he was never who he really said he was. Which was a huge shocker and total disappointment. But after reading the 10th book in the series. I have an inkling that she might finally be happy with the sex god.
Not that I wouldn't like her being with Eric, who I might add I have had plenty fantasies with that handsome viking.....viking me....hmmmm anyways.
Try to catch the set either in the book form or tv show. Here goes my ops on the book series:
Its about a lonely mind reading cajun girl aged 25 meeting and falling in love with a sexy vampire Bill. She falls for him, makes him her lover, and then finds out the truth about him. That he was sent by the Queen of Louisiana to investigate and keep tabs on her.
Sookie, of course is crushed to find out that the only man she has ever loved and bed was a liar and fake. But was his love? This is a question that has been tried to be prooved time and time again through all the books. Does he love her? How much more can he say or do to show her that he only wants her?
But all these questions are things that Sookie puts on the back burner because she keeps getting mixed up in vampire, were, witch, shapeshifting, and fairy politics with and without her consent most of the time.
She is a product of the wrong place and wrong time, with the wrong someone most of the time. On top of that she simply cant seem to stray away from a friend in need either.
Along the way, she falls for two other men, another vampire the viking (and erotic) Eric Northman and the very sexy WereTiger Quinn. Although she seldom gets a chance to bang the shit out of her men, the few times she does, it is intense.
Book ten Dead And Gone, left me with a certainty that Charlaine Harris is not done with playing around with Sookie's characters. She really seems to involve herself fully to her story and love triangle that Sookie has going on. I like that she has written so many books, unlike Stephanie Meyer who quit at 4 books. Either way, the new tv show is making Charlaine gain new motivation to write in dollars and sense.
