1) Mass Market Paperback Book Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2) by Ace Books. I have recently become acquainted with Charlene Harris´ works. I have enjoyed each and every one and hope she writes many more. The seller provided it as promised and well within the shipment window promised.¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2) by Ace Books. In her second entry in her "Southern Vampire Mysteries" series, Charlaine Harris clearly wanted to expand her intriguing vision of her parallel reality of the US after "The Great Revelation," when vampires across the world came out of the coffin and made their presence known to the living. Unfortunately she does so by having her heroine go to Dallas to see what has happened to a prominent vampire in that city whose disappearance coincides with the activity of the Fellowship of the Sun, an anti-vampire religious organization. Much of this novel takes place in Dallas rather than in Harris´s fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, and these are by far the dullest parts of her narrative: probably the main charm of her series is the local color she evokes of her fictional Northern Louisiana setting, and Dallas, for all its storied glories, just can´t compare. Though there´s fascinating expansion of her supernatural universe by introducing a malicious maenad as a prime menace haunting the Southern forests, this novel just doesn´t have the narrative cohesion of her previous entry in the series DEAD UNTIL DARK. What it does retain from that earlier book, unfortunately, are the incredibly minute descriptions of Sookie´s mundane wardrobe choices, which would try the patience of anyone, human or vampire.¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2) by Ace Books. This series just keeps getting better. I enjoyed the first book in the series but was unsure how Ms. Harris was going to keep it going. It starts off with the murder of a secondary character that if you are watching the HBO series, Tru Blood then you will miss. However, if you are just reading the book you probably won´t miss the character. Then it switches to Eric needing Sookie to do a favor/or follow an order...whichever way you look at it. He sends her to Dallas. While in Dallas, the fun begins. Yes, Bill gets to go as her bodyguard. I really enjoyed the interaction between the lead characters and even though Sookie´s in Dallas most of the book, Sam and Jason are still in it. I enjoyed the character developement of Sookie, Bill and Eric. Ms. Harris is really letting the reader get attached to them. You actually feel for them when things go wrong. I don´t like how short these books are though. This one is a little over 220 pages. It would be better to buy in an omnibus book that would have the first three books in it. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, fun, entertaining vampire book.¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2) by Ace Books. I thought the storyline in this book was way more interesting than the one in the first book, but then again, I read the first after watching the series, so I think it was hard to view the book alone without comparing it to the TV series (which rocks). I read this book in one night, and when I finished, I had a hard time falling asleep because I couldn´t stop mulling it over- that´s usually a good indicator for me that I read a good story! The one thing that continues to bug me is that the author constantly describes Sookie´s clothing, which seems best described as "80´s at its worst"- I hate to admit it, but when she´s describing Sookie´s clothing choices (e.g.- stretch jeans that lace up the side with matching midriff top and the always present bow in the hair)- it totally pulls me out of the story for a minute, because (and I hate to admit this), my thoughts are "seriously? A vampire finds this attractive? Really?" OK- enough on that. I do have to say, I was a huge "Team Bill" advocate, primarily based on the TV series, but after reading this, I´ve switched to Team Eric. I couldn´t understand why everyone who had read the books on the fan boards for the TV series kept talking Eric up, but now, after finishing Book 2, I TOTALLY get it. I am looking forward to Book 3 more for him than Bill, sadly...¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book Living Dead in Dallas (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 2) by Ace Books. When a vampire asks Sookie Stackhouse to use her telepathic skills to find another missing vampire, she agrees under one condition: the bloodsuckers must promise to let the humans go unharmed.¤
