When I finished reading the first book in the Southern Vampires series, I wasn't sure as to whether or not I should continue. I decided that I would try the second book and see how it went. It went way better than I expected. I even made those audible reading noises, gasps and giggles. I hate that I enjoyed it so much, really, because that means that I'll have to read the third.
If you are a fan of True Blood, I would say that it is worth giving the books a chance. They are similar enough to the show to feel familiar but different enough to keep you reading. I spent a lot of time comparing season two to book two and discussing the differences with my boyfriend who is watching the show as well.
I really hate Sookie, though. I am glad that she is not like Bella in Twilight. She is special. She's not just a mopey girl who managed to fall in with a vampire. She even has a little more independence, though I would argue that she doesn't have much. She is very strong, really. She is brave and not just when it means saving the person she loves. It is even when it means saving someone she doesn't really care for. In this book, she sheds some of her innocence. It actually gets a bit dirty in parts.
Another character thing that I noticed is that I really don't like Bill anymore. He's just so greasy without meaning to be. I prefer Eric who is greasy because he's Eric and makes no attempt to hide it.
