Dead Until Dark

Sookie's narrative introduces us quickly to her world where a mixture of romance, mystery, humour and the supernatural make for an entertaining and well paced read over twelve chapters.

Positives - The tone is lighter than the television series. The writing is fresh as well, Sookie acknowledges Anne Rice's success and “Bubba” gets a mention too.

Negatives - The chapters are quite long and at times it does feel like an advertisement for product placement.

I came to the source, via the inspiration in that I've watched and throughly enjoyed “True Blood” on the television. So if you've enjoyed “True Blood”, then you may enjoy “Dead Until Dark” - just prepare yourself for some differences, courtesy of Alan Ball and HBO.
