Sink your teeth into the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse series—the books that gave life to the Dead and inspired the HBO® original series True Blood.

Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Bon Temps, Louisiana. She's quiet, doesn't get out much, and tends to mind her own business—except when it comes to her “disability.” Sookie can read minds. And that doesn’t make her too dateable. Then along comes Bill Compton. He’s tall, dark, handsome—and Sookie can’t hear a word he’s thinking. He’s exactly the type of guy she’s been waiting for all her life...

But Bill has a disability of his own: he’s a vampire with a bad reputation. And when a string of murders hits Bon Temps—along with a gang of truly nasty bloodsuckers looking for Bill—Sookie starts to wonder if having a vampire for a boyfriend is such a bright idea.

I can't believe this got published!. I love the True Blood series. I thought I would try the books to help with my withdrawal. As I read, I couldn't believe how poorly written this book was. The sentence structure is simple and poorly thought out. I fel that this was written for middle schoolers rather than adults.

Tabbatabba

Tom_Ford41

Great Book. I've always loved the show. Now I'm trying the books and even though this was only loosely based on the show it was still an awesome read and I look forward to reading them all.

Megzs91

Love it!. Great book . Amazing details. She paints the picture out for you. I loved it!!

Ambivalent nature

True blood. I watched the tv series first and this book is just like season 1 with a couple differences. I'm looking forward to the next book.

MLE2

Favorite Series. You know you're starting on a great book when on the first page, the author tells you that vampires have "come out of the coffin". Absolutely wonderful series. Book 4 is my favorite. I'm team Eric!

KareyBeary

Seriously?. This book is right on par with Fifty Shades of Grey - poorly written, simple and ridiculous.

Music Geek Charming

Wanting More!. I loved that the book took me to another place. There is a special quality this book possessed and it left me craving more. It's a fun read I simply devoured it. I'm looking forward to the others!

Astarnamedwill

Fun Read. This is a good read for anyone who likes a little fantasy. Easy to follow story and good character development.

Jeff in Chesapeake

AWESOME!!. Couldn't put it down.

Greed1232

Great book. It's a truly amazing book.I love the tv show But the books are great.

Sk8trgrl25

Sookie adventures. Wonderful read!

Rizen

The Best. I really enjoyed reading this book, after a colleague recommended it. I'm now doing the same, if you are a True Blood fan like myself then you would enjoy reading this as much as I have. I'm about to download the second book to this series " living Dead in Dallas" I believe is the title. I would have finished this book much sooner, hadn't relatives. from North Carolina came up to visit and I entertaining them. Bust soon as they left it was on and popping. Kudos to the author Charlene Harris, can't wait to to start reading much much more from her.

Curly’s Ramblings

It was ok. Dead Until Dark is a vampire romance novel featuring a honest hard working young lady with mind reading abilities. The story is entertaining and provides multiple events to keep the reader or listener engaged. The characters are likable and relatable. This was a decent start to a series.

Carebear1984

An amazing series. My sister is the one who suggested these books to me. I'm so happy she did!! This is such a wonderful series. Charlaine Harris is an amazingly talented writer. All the characters she created are so great. Pam and Eric are definitely a favorite!! I don't want to see Sookie's story come to an end.

Danaelizabeth218

GREAT!!!!. What a great book, read it!!!

NevilleDevil

Amazing series!. I've read this series about 5 times and they never fail to surprise me! I love how she goes into detail about the main characters daily lives! You really get to know them and fall In love with them!

Hailey-Bear

Great!. I read it on my iPhone which I thought would be a problem but the format wasn't overwhelming at all. It was super easy to follow and a great read all together! I can't wait to read the rest.

L!l3hdro!d

Wonderful.. Couldnt put my phone down! It definitely helps get over the 150+ days left until the show resumes. I was pleasantly surprised how close the book and the show were. With the exception of Tara, of course. I simply loved it. Cannot wait to start book two.

Cafeconmocha

Page turner. I couldn't put it down. I've seen the tv series, and was delighted that a lot (but not too much!) was different from it. Can't wait to read the other books in the series.

Triley_8807

Loved it!!!!!. Loved the really vivid writing

LexLor

Ehh. It's ok.

VanahL

Mushimoo

Dead until dark. Great book! I enjoy watching true blood on HBO the book was a nice twist too what I had watched!

Frankie♥'s

Loved Book One!!!!. I love True Blood so I naturally was very interested in the books. After reading Dead Until Dark, I can only hope the other books are just as entertaining. On to book two!

CMFW aka Connie

Read the books first..then the show..book is always better. I love the show as well ...but...No comparison...... The books are always better!!

VonnieLee

Very good. Excellent book!

NJ Ravenclaw

Too bloody and dark. I was excited to start reading these new series of books hoping for some complicated and interesting plot. Unfortunately, I found dragging myself to finish the first book. I found it too bloody and dark. I finally managed to get to the end of it, but I am not looking forward to reading any more in this series. I moved on.

Sammi Merlotte

Showbie reads first book. After grieving the loss of True Blood for its 9 month hiatus, I decided to see if reading at least one of the Sookie Stackhouse books would take the edge off my suffering : ). I was very pleasantly surprised when I found myself on page 332, the last page of the book, 4 days after purchasing it. I must say, the books (or at least the 1st book) are as addictive as the show. Though the story lines in the book and in the show are really only loosely related, I felt I had an advantage having watched the show before i began reading the books. Although, Sookie Stackhouse is the central protagonist on the show, she is the lifeblood, no pun intended, in this book. She does a beautiful job, single handedly, bringing all the other characters to life. I highly recommend this book to all "Showbies" who need their Sookie fix over these long months ahead of us...On to book 2!!!

IamGodslove

Dead until dark. A fantastic read!!!!

Phat13a13y

Excellent read!. Very vivid and exciting as you keep reading. Can't wait to read the next in the series.

Crap stick()&&!((

Ok read. A little slow to get started, but an okay read.

Claypoolgd

Yay. Love this series!

Wordlover1980

Loved it!. I read this book and couldn't put it down. Great book to escape the real world :)

Cajen1

Awesome!!!. Love the show!! Love the book!! Glad I watched Season One then read the book, much less disappointing that way!! Watch then read.

Zach 0424

Really good!. Just like the 1st season of true blood this sticks right with the story and is amazing.

Allison Curtis

Dead until Dark. Refreshing and original all at once. A good dose of everything for a perfect life. Love, danger, romance, mystery and self-reflection. Could ask for more.

Beetlebig

Dead Until Dark. Loved this book! Read it in two days. I have only read Anne Rice novels on vampires, but Charlaine Harris does a superb job. Southern charm and humor mixed with murder and hot vampires. Who could ask for more? But you get more. Mind reader and shape shifter. Lol. Great book !

Dragonslayer05

Great book. Great book with a few grammatical errors here and there but all in all a great story and if you haven't read it I strongly encourage it. Though if your wanting to watch the tv show as well, it follows the book to a point

Awesome read!. I do watch TRUE BLOOD so I was naturally curious about the books. I am so happy that I read this book. I love the show for what it is but the book really gives much more depth to Sookie than the show does. I also like that it is in Sookie's viewpoint, first person. It was great read! I already downloaded the next two!

Bama81

Mrs.Esparza. Love it the 1st time I read it and loved it even more on my iPad

Gyf

Addictive.. I read this book to understand the buzz and fell in love with the characters. APPLE please add a number of series to book titles. Without them I rather shop on my nook on Barnes & Noble.
