Cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse is on a streak of bad luck. First, her coworker is murdered and no one seems to care. Then she's face-to-face with a beastly creature that gives her a painful and poisonous lashing. Enter the vampires, who graciously suck the poison from her veins (like they didn't enjoy it).
Point is, they saved her life. So when one of the bloodsuckers asks for a favor, she complies. And soon, Sookie's in Dallas using her telepathic skills to search for a missing vampire. She's supposed to interview certain humans involved. There's just one condition: the vampires must promise to behave--and let the humans go unharmed. Easier said than done. All it takes is one delicious blonde a Sookie is pursued by a very sexy vampire—and a very deadly monster. --review from Barnes and Noble

her job has major drawbacks
but great eye candy.
This book, more so than the first, made me realise how different the book series is to the TV series. So comparing the books to the TV show isn't the best idea, because it makes the books, at least for me, seem incomplete, since all the storylines besides Sookie's are basically non-existent.
Okay, to be fair, this is only the second part. I don't know at all what is yet to come. But that's my impression so far. Anyway, it was a quick, fun read (or, in my case, listening experience) and I love the trash-literature feel to it.
