Vampire Books

Since at the moment Vampires are fashionable all around, someone told me to read a series of books related to the subject. Those are part of a series of books (so far 10) wrote by Charlaine Harris.

In Mexico, only the first 3 ones are available, and so got to read them: Dead until Dark, Living Dead in Dallas, Club Dead.

In the book series, Vampires have told the world about themselves, and they drink a blood substitute called TruBlood to keep a nice image toward human, yet they still drink blood from living humans.

In the books, in a place called Bon Temps in Louisiana lives Sookie Stackhouse, a human capable of reading minds, and one night she meets a vampire (Bill) at the bar she works at as waitress. Something happens that she ends up saving him from being killed, and they end up becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

Each book goes into this love relationship between a Vampire and a Human, but also tells about a mystery as an alternate plot to make things interesting.

On book one there is a murderer killing girls who have been related to vampires in an intimate way, and the main suspect is Sookie's brother, since he has been in a relation with each of the first two girls murdered. So Sookie has to find the real murderer before he kills her.

Second book, the chief vampire in Dallas that has gone missing, and apparently an anti-vampire church called "Sun Worshipers" are the ones that maybe kidnapped him. Sookie is recruited by the vampires to help them investigate the church and find there whereabouts of this missing vampire, in hopes of rescuing him.

Third book, in this case Vampire Bill has been kidnapped by vampires from another state, and those vampires received help from werewolves. Sookie has to go and rescue her boyfriend.

One can say that the books are entertaining, but I finished reading them maybe too fast.

Also the books promote the TV series based on them, called True Blood, so maybe I'll look into that to check it and see if it is fun to watch.
