Blonde, bubbly Sookie Stackhouse loves her job as a cocktail waitress in Merlotte's, in her home town of Bon Temps. Sookie's cute, but it took her a long time to make friends; perhaps that's not so surprising when you consider how few people appreciate her telepathic ability. Then the vamps came to town, and Sookie discovered she couldn't 'hear' them at all. Instead, she gets to make friends the old-fashioned way, first with Bill, tall, dark and handsome, then with Eric, the blond Viking, who's undeniably attractive, especially when he loses his memory. And when Sookie's cousin Hadley dies — for the second time — she comes to the attention of Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of New Orleans, who is very interested in Sookie's unique talents. And let's not forget the were population, who come a little close to home when Sookie's brother Jason gets bitten by a were-panther... Whichever species you are, life is never boring in Bon Temps, Louisiana!
