Summary

 Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much - not because she's not pretty - she's a very cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a social life. She really is... but Sookie's got a bit of a disability. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable.

And then along comes Bill: he's tall, he's dark and he's handsome - and Sookie can't 'hear' a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting all her life for.

But Bill has a disability of his own: he's fussy about his food, he doesn't like suntans and he's never around during the day... Yep, Bill's a vampire. Worse than that, he hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, with a reputation for trouble - of the murderous kind.

And then one of Sookie's colleagues at the bar is killed, and it's beginning to look like Sookie might be the next victim...

I just haven’t got around to reading these books yet. To my delight the audiobooks are wonderfully narrated… I’m going to enjoy!

Narrator is good for Sookie, but struggles a little with male voices, I think.
This series is gripping, amusing, and an exploration of what people will do to be part of a group.

Great series (badly mauled for TV)

Love these books and the narrator has done a fantastic job. I find they make or break it so happy I can now listen to these whenever, which is much easier done than setting the time aside to read.

excellent

Narrated expertly by Johanna Parker and told through the eyes of a pretty young waitress with a “disability”, Dead Until Dark is a very entertaining blend of several genres. It is not just a vampire novel, though they feature prominently. There are elements of romance, of violence, of adventure, of humour and of the minutiae of everyday life. It is an adult read.
