Dead Until Dark | Charlaine Harris

Rating:

Sookie Stackhouse has always led an interesting, if not fulfulling, life, thanks to her “disability.” Able to hear the thoughts of others, and not necessarily to shut them out, trouble has followed Sookie whether she wanted it or not.

As a waitress in a local bar, she does her best never to hear the minds of her co-workers or boss, and while she hopes to block out the clientele as well, she doesn’t have much luck. So when a vampire starts frequenting the bar, sitting in her section, and she realizes she can’t hear him, he becomes heaven on earth.

She’s intrigued for other reasons of course, as are most of the town. But as strange events start coming to town, silence becomes more and more a commodity. Sookie is forced to hear the things people think of her, her relationship with Bill, speculations on the spree of murders and her brother’s possible connection to them.

Despite doubts and well-meant advice, Sookie clings to her relationship with Bill, all the while trying to solve the mystery herself, to clear those she cares about, as well as to save herself.
