Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

Dead Until Dark
By Charlaine Harris

First in the Sookie Stackhouse series of novels, this book reminded me a bit of the Twilight series. There are vampires and shape-shifters and the main character seems to be involved with at least one of each. There’s also a big, bad, edler vampire who takes an interest in Sookie. In a switch from Twilight, Sookie (a non-vampire) has the power to read people’s minds, while her vampire counter-part cannot.

There is a familiar feel to the characters, however, the story itself is more of a murder mystery and I think it was a good read. As far as a whodunit goes, it did keep me guessing until the end.

Other books in the series are:

Living Dead in Dallas
Club Dead
Dead to the World
Dead as a Doornail
Definitely Dead
All Together Dead
From Dead to Worse
Many Bloody Returns
Dean and Gone
