Narrated by Johanna Parker.
Being telepathic, Miss Sookie has no luck dating the living. It's just too awkward for her to become intimate with a man--let alone sleep with him--when she can hear everything he's thinking about her. But then the alluring vampire Bill stops into her bar, and his mind reads silent as a tomb. Finally, the match she's longed for! There are some corrupt criminals, however, who wish to destroy Sookie's undead beau--and soon realize they picked the wrong vampire to aggravate.

Sookie Stackhouse's adventures begin
submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 17, 2013, 9:26pm
The first of Charlaine Harris' 13 Southern vampire mysteries, "Dead Until Dark" introduces psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse, Vampire Bill and a whole cast of interesting characters in and near the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. The book very much lays out the plot for the first season of the TV series "True Blood" based on these novels. Later seasons of the show veer off from the books, though.
Sookie's life has always been hard because she can always hear everyone's thoughts, until she meets Bill, the first vampire to (openly) live in her town. Because he is dead she cannot hear his thoughts, which is a great relief to her, yet it plunges her into the supernatural community and all its drama that nearly kills her many times over the course of the series.
You'll need to read this book first or you'll never understand the numerous, complex plot lines in this novel.
