Alright, I read this book almost all in one day - after work. You can see my version of the formula for a paranormal romance in my review for "Wraith", and this book fits it like a tight white t-shirt. It just happens to be wearing a sweet floral print skirt with the tee. It's a 'cozy' paranormal romance (though there is some blood... it is about vampires after all), and it was impossible to put down.

I hadn't had this much fun with this genre in a while - quite a surprise since I hate gorgeous blonds who talk about how pretty and tan they are. Sookie is infinitely more likable than Anita Blake has become in the last several books. Dammit - another series; and one with a TV show to go along with it! There goes my next week or two. :) That's okay -- I enjoy Anna Paquin - and she's not a natural blond, so I can still like her.
