Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2)

It's one to keep you occupied! Pretty good story line, it just keeps you guessing :)

Living Dead in Dallas is another quick read in the Sookie Stackhouse series - the second one, in fact. In this novel, Sookie gets rented out to a clan of vampires in Dallas who are being harassed by ultra-conservative religious nuts.

Living Dead in Dallas is another quick read in the Sookie Stackhouse series - the second one, in fact. In this novel, Sookie gets rented out to a clan of vampires in Dallas who are being harassed by ultra-conservative religious nuts. Sookie also has to deal with the death of her gay friend who worked at her bar. Though definitely a mystery novel, I absolutely enjoyed the social issues that underlined the story. Namely, religious extremists, homosexuality, and the juxtaposition of sexual temptation and monogamous commitment and the boundaries and leeways drawn between the two. There was a little more language in this book than the first one, and a there were more sexual situations and innuendos than the first novel as well. All of it was certainly welcome and appropriate, in my opinion... All in all, I really enjoyed this novel and had a hard time putting it down.   hide

A lot different than the HBO show, but really good. I actually liked this book better than the first in the series. Im not in love with the series as of yet, but am looking forward to reading the next book.

Pretty good. Probably my least favorite in the series though.
