Editorial Review:
The second Sookie Stackhouse novel from the New York Times bestselling author--and the basis for the HBO series True Blood.
For years, Charlaine Harris has delighted fans with her mystery series featuring small-town waitress-turned- paranormal sleuth Sookie Stackhouse. Now, Ace is pleased to republish her second novel in the series in hardcover. In this book, Sookie is pursued by a very sexy vampire--and a very deadly monster. With HBO and Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, launching an all-new series, True Blood, based on the Southern Vampire novels, the demand for Charlaine Harris and Sookie Stackhouse is going to be bigger than ever.

One could argue that this genre has been around much longer, and written much better than the Stephanie Meyers series, but I digress.
Then add on the success of True Blood, the HBO series developed by Alan Ball, and based on these novels, has made Charlaine Harris' Southern vampire tales just as popular.
