Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood, Book 1)

The first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series 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 Louisiana—except for her “disability.” She can read minds. But she can’t hear a word that Bill Compton is thinking when he walks into her life—and then one of her coworkers is killed... Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn’t such a bright idea.
