Synopsis
Sookie Stachouse is
a cocktail waitress in Bon Temps, Louisiana. She’s pretty. She does her job
well. But she has only a few close friends, because not everyone appreciates
Sookie’s gift: she can read minds. That’s not exactly every man’s idea of date
bait – unless they’re undead; vampires and the like can be tough to read. And
that’s just the kind of guy Sookie’s been looking for. Maybe that’s why, when
she comes across a naked vampire on the way home from work, she doesn’t just
drive by. He hasn’t got a clue who he is, but Sookie has: Eric looks just as
scary and sexy – and dead – as the day she met him. But now he has amnesia,
he’s sweet, vulnerable, and in need of Sookie’s help – because whoever took his
memory now wants his life.
Sookie’s
investigation into what’s going on leads her into a battle between witches,
vampires and werewolves. But there could be ever greater danger – to Sookie’s
heart – because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist.
