"Living Dead in Dallas", Charlaine Harris

I am well into the re-read of my second book of the Southern Vampire series. .  I watched True Blood season 2 premiere last night and well,  it was really good.  As in season one, the series strays from the book right away.  Yeah, the dead person in Andy's car, won't say as not to be a "spoiler", but it won't be who you think it is from reading the books.

 

So, I just wanted to update where I was in my re-read and how episode one went of season 2 of True Blood.  I will read through this one and book 3, then move onto another series (to be announced).  It is a series of 22 books, so it will keep me busy through the summer I am sure.

 

I will post review soon on "Living Dead in Dallas" and then be on to "Club Dead".  For those of you following True Blood, now we have Sundays to look forward to!!!

 

 

I completed my re-read of book 2 of the Southern vampire series today pool side. As I read, I was comparing episode one of True Blood, season two,  to see where HBO is veering off into their own renditions. Now, I think they are acceptable renditions, but just keeping check on it.


 

Well, Sookie still has a lot of her naiveness and willingness to help all species , regardless of their nature to some degree. She is still madly in love with Bill, but Eric starts making his move here. Sookie continues to wonder if she can handle all things "vampire" and struggles with that more in book 2. 



 

Her powers take them to Dallas as a loaner from Eric to some big wig vamps in Dallas for her "special talent". She is not happy about that, but know she must do it , as she made a promise to Eric, and we southern girls know what promises mean. Her gran would be proud. 


 



Sookie meets several violent situations in book 2, after just recovering from the wrath of Rene in book one. Right off the top of my head, I can think of 3 for sure, but as to try to keep spoilers out of my reviews, I will leave out the details. As par for Sookie, she takes her hits and knows a healthy girl from the south will be just fine... of course a little vampire blood never hurts either.”
