Dead to the World

Sookie Stackhouse 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 on 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 even greater danger -- to Sookie's heart -- because the kinder, gentler Eric is very hard to resist. "Just the right mixture of humour, intrigue, and excitement" -Booklist "Fans of Anita Blake should cotton to Sookie Stackhouse" -Publishers Weekly
